What Should I Do?

I have been taking classes at UNCC since August. Last semester, I don't know if it was the adreneline or what, but I kept up with my assignments really well. I don't know if maybe I just liked those classes more or what. However...this semester, I'm having issues keeping up. I have two classes (right now) instead of the 4 last semester. Also, I have an 8 week class that starts March 18th! It's an English class, so I shouldn't have a problem with it.

Acutally, my English class that I have right now, I'm not having problems in. It's my Education class. I guess I just don't see how serving in a soup kitchen or shopping in an Ethnic store is going to make me a better teacher..... Unfortunately, I have to do that Cultural Plunge (that I haven't planned for yet) and write a 3 page paper about it before Monday! For that same class, I also have to work on getting some observations set up in a high school. I have to interview some of the people who work at that school. I have to read about 100 pages (before Monday) so I can comment on it. The observations are due next month, but I still have to get them planned and get them done!

I'm almost to the point where I want to just drop this class and take it either next semester or this summer. The only problem is that HOPEFULLY I'll be working full time in the Fall. If so, I only want to have ONE class. AND...the summer class is actually ON campus. Right now it's all online!

I don't know what to do. If I could have suggestions I would love them!

Until next time........

I think the "cultural plunge" you need to do for your class exposes you to this setting and "humanizes" you more to the people that have to go to the soup kitchen for food and there are kids in schools that do not have a their "three" meals a day and their families might need to access a soup kitchen. The Ethnic store probably exposes you to diversity and another culture and in a school environment, you have kids from all cultures and you have to learn to deal with that too.

I would not drop the class at all. You would only be prolonging the process. Stick to it and it will soon be over. I would concentrate on what the priority of the assignments that are due now and then work on the others that are due later. Good luck!

I commend you for working so hard. I gave up my one class because of losing both my grandmother and MIL. I was behind and just could not get caught up. I agree with AVR, try and stick it out and finish it. I am living proof of how the agony is prolonged, lol!

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
