Week 10 - my final blog

Thank God for mini-vacations! I went to Dallas this weekend and simply relaxed. No laptop, no studying, nothing! And man, was it a needed break. I've also been off work for 1 1/2 weeks, which has helped matters tremendously. I have completed my last Engl. 2025 (LSU correspondence)assignment, caught up on everything I needed to, and actually have gotten ahead on a bunch of stuff. It's smooth sailing from here! In fact, I'm so far ahead, I may just go ahead and do my final essay for my speech class. That way I don't have to fool with it at the end of the semester. Oh, wait, I'm so far ahead of myself, what will I do with the rest of the semester? Okay, that was sarcasm, I'll stop now. LOL Anyway, things are good in my life. I hope all is well with you!

Week 9

Here we are again...my blog. What do we talk about this week? Well, let's see. The cowboys won, LSU won, school is just school, so all is good in my world. I have found something interesting in the Shreveport job market though. It is saturated! I guess it's because the majority of people who graduate from LSUS stay in this area, so you have a lot more people with degrees for only a limited number of jobs. This is one reason that I plan on moving after graduation. Or, at least I would like to. I worry about my son though, moving him in the middle of the year, during his Junior year. But, I think that it's mama's turn to be important too, so we will move when I can get a good job somewhere else. Sometimes I think that kids cope with change better than adults do, depending, of course, on what the change is. Well, enough of that, I'm off to practice for my speech tomorrow.

Slate

Well, I posted my blog before seeing the slate.com assignment. I hope that I get credit for this even though I'm posting it separately from my blog.

Anyway, I found the following article interesting: http://www.slate.com/id/2176963/

Week 8

Okay, I know that you are going to get tired of hearing about graduation, but here goes again. I went yesterday and picked up my cap & gown, ordered my invitations, and ordered my graduation ring. It was great! I wonder if everyone gets this excited, or if it's just because I'm old. Oh, well, who cares! Anyway, yesterday was the easy part, now I've just got to get through the rest of the semester. We're over half way through, thank you Lord!

Everyone pray that I get through English 215 through correspondence, it is tough. I have three more assignments to go, then the final. Get this...I have to pass the final to pass the class. No matter if I have an A going into the final, if I fail the final, I fail the class. I don't believe that is fair, but it's not like I have any control over LSU Baton Rouge, so, like I said...PRAY! Okay, I'm done for tonight. Off to finish my final draft of essay three. Good night!

Week 7

I got a letter today about ordering graduation attire, pictures, rings, etc. I am so excited! I never thought that graduating would affect me this way. I always thought it is just a piece of paper that will enable me to earn more money. WRONG! Excitement is not the word for how I feel right now. The idea of walking across the stage and receiving my diploma is awesome.

Something else exciting in my life right now is that I got a call from the career center today to interview for a job. The company called and requested the interview, how great is that? I'm excited. I have this fear that I will not be able to find a job after graduation and all my hard work will have been in vain. I know that this fear is only me...being me...but the fear is still there anyway.

Well, off to work on Essay 3.
