Working Hard

Things are going well. I am working hard and knocking things out. Got all English papers done and accepted so now I just have to take the final. I have all paperwork things done for Social Work. I just have to finish the last three questions for the final and post it by 5pm today. Then my focus will be on Biology and History. Biology final is next Tuesday and History is next Thursday. I think it will be ok. I will be sad not to have these classes any more. I have come to love these professors and the kids in the classes too. Almost over.

I am going to be ok

God is so awesome. I was so stressed last week. I so wanted to do well on my tests in Biology and Tx History. I am going to have to relax and just do my best and trust in God to help me. No I didn't do so well in Biology it was a 65, BUT, when my professor showed me the points added up I know I will be just fine by the end of it all. Then I go to Tx. History and I made an 83 on that one. So excited. I have a 72 average, BUT, when I add in my 10 points for my critique (If accepted) and the other 3 points extra credit I could be averaging a 85. That is good for me. I will end up with a probable 2 A's in my other 2 classes. I can do this. I am going to be ok. I have been fretting about my 25 hours I needed to volunteer for my Social Work class. Well this past Sunday Josh and I signed up on the Spirit 105.9 radio station to volunteer. They help the largest Central Texas Family Fun Festival. So many activities and so many bands (top name). We were able to get in for free, and volunteer our time AND enjoy the bands and the people and the food too. It was great. If there is anything that you do with your family, you should set aside the time and the money and go to this event. This year was the first ANNUAL. That means they will be doing this every year.  Woohoo. It was so totally awesome with Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant and Peter Furhler, and Tenth Ave. North, then 3rd Day ended the evening under the stars. You think its expensive? Think about it. All afternoon and evening, events for the whole family and a full day of concerts with big name stars and local bands too. General Admission seats were $25. Before the day of the event you can buy a ticket and get a child's ticket free. That's a bargain. We won't forget this for a long time. There were thousands of people worshiping God singing HOLY HOLY HOLY under the stars Acapella WOW. So all that and I received my volunteer time too for class. Like I said, I will be ok and God is AWESOME. He answers your prayers in so many ways you don't ever expect.

The Most Awful Week

This week leaves me wondering what was I thinking when I decided to tackle school. I haven't been this tired and stressed in a very long time. I had a lot of pressure at school. Due date for an English paper on Wed. the 9th and a book critique for Tx History due today Nov. 10th and 7:30 this am Biology Exam and at noon a Tx History Exam. I have studied and studied. I was up til Midnight last night and up at 6 this am. I have been running all afternoon and now I am sitting back and relaxing. Jeremy made roast potatoes and carrots and now Josh is making rolls. Mmmmmm. I have been smelling it for about and hour now. Soooo I will be enjoying the rest of my evening and then getting a really good night sleep. I haven't been able to go to Bible study for two weeks and I have really missed it. I didn't get any work done on the study but I am going anyway. I always learn something. I will find out on Tuesday what my grades are on my tests. I am not doing very well in Tx History. The good thing is if I have my book critique accepted I earn 10 points on my final grade in Tx History. I also have 3 points in that class for extra credit. Thats 13 points. If I have a 67 then I would have an 80 for a final. Cool huh? Everything will be ok now. This 3/4 push was hard. Later......

Oh My Goodness

It has been a while since I posted last. I have been super busy. I still am crunched at lest through this Thursday. I have 2 major exams on Thursday and a book critique paper. Some days I think I don't have a clue what I am doing. Other days I think of how much smarter I am now than I was 5 months ago. I just want to do well. I don't necessarily have to be an A student, just not a D one. So looks like Tx History will be more challenging this go round that Biology. My professor has been out almost 3 weeks and I feel like I don't know anything in this unit. He will be back tomorrow for review and then the test is on Thurs. I think I am doing nothing this week till Friday. No small group no Wed night church nothing. I have missed my Friday morning bible study group two Fridays in a row. I will be back this week. I love studying God's word and I miss not going so much. I know this is just a very small part of my time here on earth but it seems like an eternity. Well I think I will go clean off my desk and get busy. I can't really study unless things are cleaned up, just funny that way. If things are not organized I feel like I am unorganized too. Crazy huh? Josh is not feeling well today. He's home from school. Kinda throws me off. Ok Here I go. Focus Focus Focus. Pray for me to do well this week. Thanks
