Why the delay in posts?

I have not really been able to post because I have been busy with getting started with my college classes for Fall. I took two classes in Summer also (July to August) so that explains my absence for the entire month of August. I don't know who reads my blog but to those who do, I'm going to try to not let that happen again, but I did get an A in one class and an A- in the other :)

As for school in general I would have to say I like it a lot and I am glad that I decided to go back. I would say all of my classes are good and none of my professors make me want to run from campus screaming, well at least not yet. 
I would say that the most serious class for me is the Introduction to the Study of Literature course. I think this is because I want to major in English with a Teacher's Certification and I have to make sure that I pass this class with at least a C so the pressure's on and it's not an easy class. But I think the content of the class is something that I am truly interested in so I think I will do well. I am crossing my fingers that it all turns out positive. 

I was glad to see that I am not the oldest in my classes. There are a lot of "fresh outta high school-ers" but not every one in the class is. Since I didn't really start at Freshman level since I had a bunch of credits under my belt, I guess that was to be expected. Most of the freshman I am encountering are in the few foundations courses I have to complete. 

I haven't officially declared my major yet (I will probably do that sometime in the next month or so)  but I would say that going back to school was a good decision. It's much more clear and I care more this time around. 

I think mostly, that's because I'm not a kid anymore. 

College as an adult.

So this past week I have returned to the land of the learning or school in layman's terms.

I have two classes for this summer session.
I have decided to take only two classes to ease myself back into school-going so my transition into a full time fall will be a little easier.

One class in I find absolutely interesting: Human Sexual Biology. I am taking this class ON campus two days a week for 4 hours each day. Seems like a long class but it really isn't boring so I expect to do well.

The other class: Physical Geography although I find it somewhat interesting, is a little harder for me. I am taking this class online through the college's online class system. I think I am not that excited about this class because I find that I have to do math. I'm really not good at math and I also don't enjoy doing it. I am going to try my best though, I'll consider it -literally- a learning experience. Maybe math and I can come to some sort of compromise. Perhaps we had gotten off on the wrong foot the last time we were forced to interact with one another ;)

After a little speed bump with financial aid that I got smoothed out today, I am on my way to my future. I am hoping that I continue being as motivated as I am now and I hope I don't lose this motivation as I go on.

I'm sure there will be days where I feel like I am not capable of it but I will not let them get me down. Either way, going to school is definitely better than continuing work at my last job.

I will not take this opportunity to continue and complete my education for granted. I could still be miserable and sick instead of just feeling my brain growing bigger with every chapter I read and every assignment I complete.

The future is indeed wide open.
