I did it!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it. I can't believe I did it. I finished the semester and I met my goals too. I am so amazed. I can not remember a time I have felt so good about myself as I do right now. I was able to go to ACC and take 4 classes and finish the semester with 2 A's and 2 B's. Wow. I do not want to be so egotistical about this post to be bragging on my accomplishments, but I do want to look back and see what the Lord and brought me through and guided me every step of the way. I give all the praise and glory to God. I know He has something HUGE in my path. I just know it. I am also able to do some social working from home to help my friends. I have found out I need some crazy instructions to figure out insurance and Medicare etc. I need to know whats out there and how it works. There has to be instructional classes for this. If they are out there I will find it. I have so many contacts in many different fields. Something else I have found is that When I once relied on some people for help I am finding I now am able to help them. I am giving them advice now. I love being used in that way. I have always been a giver and helper and am now finding my way back to that. I feel like I am at the point like Isaiah, Here I am Lord, send me. I am ready to go and do what I can. I am also figuring out how to use my contacts and resources to do that. Yeah God. I am so excited to get going on this. I am ready to help other, like members of my own family too. It has been such a God thing to be able to step in and say Hey, I want to help you, lets do this. Even my own kids. This last weekend we did a special youth thing at church with Dr. Richard Ross (from Seminary) He is Ryan's (our youth leader) mentor. The boys and I connected. We now are stopping each other and telling each other to get along talk use words stop and be nice and encouraging to each other. It has been a terrific week and its only Wed. Last night we all came in the living room and watched Tangled (animated Disney). hahaha. Don't tell anyone. Shhhh. I am feeling really good. Merry Christmas everyone. Be back soon........

School's Out For Christmas

Hey ya'll. I'm all done. Such a great feeling to be finished. I worked through my English final on Saturday. It took 2 and a half hours and I was so medicated I hardly remember what I wrote. Survey says I got a A- on the paper and an A for the class. The Prof told me I would be a great English Major. Wow I want to write a book. Then I did all my assignments for Social Work and I worked through my final, again medicated and I ended the class with an A. Biology was the scary class. I went all the way to Round Rock campus to pick up my old exams so I could study. I knew I could take a comprehensive exam and drop my lowest exam grade. Well calculated out my exam 4 was a 61 so I needed the exam to drop that one. I needed to make a 71 and I made a 75. So I ended with a B by 4 points. Yeah. Now waiting for History of Texas. Depending on what I made on yesterday's exam My average will have 13 extra credit points added to it. So my average was a 72 then with 13 points I would have an 85. So hopefully my exam grade is ok so I am in the B range but being sick and focusing on Biology I may end up with a C. Either way I am ok. I just can't believe I have done it. I didn't give up  even though there were times I questioned myself and wondered what I was thinking. How can I do this. I would pray and I know I had people praying for me too. The sad thing was yesterday I finished my Biology exam and asked if I could stay in there and study for my History exam. He said sure. It was warm and extremely quiet. Well there was a girl across from me taking the exam too. She took a long time to do ite too. I think she is a special ed student. She got caught looking at her notes during her exam. The Prof was so mad and upset. He took up her exam and took her into the hall. She came back in crying and said she was grateful for what she had learned. Prof said that was the worse part of his position. The bad side. I felt so bad for him. he was a great teacher. It didn't hurt that he was young and single and cute too. I could listen to him all day. Hmmm...... Ok moving on. I have to say I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this. I am also trying so hard to be an example to my kids too. If I can do this they can too. Don't give up. Keep trying its not that bad. Make something of your life and do what God wants you to do. So I have given back the rental textbooks and sold back my other ones. I ended up with $32 back from my used books that I sold back. Woohoo. See ya next semester. Classes will be British Literature, Texas State and Local Government, Another Biology Class and Math (Basic). Well, Govt should be interesting during an election year. and I am thinking Biology will be easier this go round. It is on ecosystems and habitats. No cell studies. Yeah. Then math should be fine and Brit Lit should be fun too. See ya Jan 18th or so. Happy New Year and Have a Merry Christmas.
