Well ladies and gentlement here we are again. The spring semester is coming to a close and it's time to start thinking about summer classes or for some of you taking the summer off. In my case, I am taking two summer courses. One of which I have to take on campus and the other will be on line.
Looking back over this last semester, I have realized my limitations. This semester I tried to tackle a 16 hour schedule. Boy was I stupid in doing that. Here I was thinking that I should be able to handle the workload plus do everything else in my personal life. I was so wrong. This workload practically killed me. Note to self: No more than 12 hours per semester. Good, now that I have that little reminder out of the way we can finish this blog.
Over the last two semesters I have really enjoyed keeping this blog. Of course it helps that I love to write. Keeping this blog helped me sharpen my writing skills because, as we all know, practice makes perfect. Not only was the practice needed, but I was also able to keep up on current events. Plus, my son watched me write the blog all the time and that has made him more interested in writing. In fact he has now started writing almost everday.
I shall miss this particular class. It was fun and tedious all at the same time. It was tedious as far as the deadlines go but fun when you would see the finished product.
I have decided that I will keep this blog going. My goal is to make at least one post per week and as we all know, who knows exactly what I will write about.
I hope all my classmates and Mrs. Chism will have a wonderful summer. Good luck to everyone while you pursue your respective degrees.
Have a great summer!!!!!

I'm so glad this semester is over! Have a great summer, and don't take on so many classes in the fall :)
ReplyDeleteHey Michael..I took 17 hours but the thing to do is to take a 8 week course..MSSU has classes that start the first 8 weeks or the last 8 weeks and it can help you build you credits faster..Take Care
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work! I wish I had taken Holly's 101 class because this 102 was so much more do-able. It was tedious yes, especially with the weekly blogs, but in reality we didn't spend any time in class so I guess that blogging time makes up for it. Good luck with the rest of your schooling, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that your son is writting, that is really good for him. Like you, I have a hard time taking on more than 12 credit hours and stay home with my 3 kids. It is going to take me forever to graduate taking only 12 credit hours a semester and none in the summer, and my husband is starting school this summer and is going to be doing like 16-19 credit hrs/semester and summer courses so i think he might actually graduate before i do and i've been in school for 2 years :( that makes me sad, but happy that he graduates. We will one day graduate though. Have a great summer and I will definitaly keep up with your blogs.
ReplyDeleteNice post! It's fantastic that you have encouraged your son to write. I think that knowing how to write is so important for ourselves and for our future generations. I've really enjoyed your blog!
