Week 3, Day 1

So I aced econ after all...thank you God!!
BIS is going quite well, the essay assignments are hard, very hard..however I am part of this awesome team and Christine has been quite awesome with the scheduling. We are ahead of schedule and things are going very very well...
I like this teacher, he is very communicative and punctual and I like how his feedback is actually useful and insightful.

P.S.
we have no cable today and I am not quite sure how JD will do without it....-(

Day 3 week 1

So economics is finally over, however I have to wait till next week to find out my final grade. I never understood that teacher or any econ. teacher for that matter. He would ask for something e.g. a yes/no answer but deduct points because you did not expound on your answer....n'way I pray that I do not loose my A even though its an A- at the moment....

I started Information Systems this week and the teacher is so different, its like a breath of fresh air, I actually feel like I can understand and keep up with the pace, Economics was just too much infor. in too little time and the assignments did not make it any better. I must say however I did learn something as unlikely as this seemed at times because of how the syllabus was structured.

Week 4, day 3

Well, my finaid and loans finally came in and I fortunately received full funding which is a very very very good thing. The class is going well, week 2 however scared me because I was not getting responses back from the teacher in time to meet the discussion requirement and I didnt do too well but I am praying that I ace this class. I have learnt soooo much and I can hardly have a conversation with anyone (JD in particular) that has anything to do with the economy and not use the new terms and stuff....

P.S. JD got his job back, I found a beautiful, huge coffee table,we have a new couch and Bear started school.

The grades are in!

The final grades for my first class were posted yesterday and I am a tad dissapointed, but just a tad...I missed an A+ by one point.
Well economics started with a bang, however I am still holding on, I pray that this is the most difficult class I have to take in terms of requirements...there is so much to do, I am not quite sure how much I dislike it though.

A New beginning

Today is the first day of my second class Econ212. The syllabus is so full it is extremely intimidating. I have taken this class before and I do not remember a lick of it. The assignments seem so hard, I have read a couple chapters so far and it is pure greek, my retention must have gone to shit over the past few years I have been out of school. Anyway, we dont give up, we keep on moving and this too shall pass. I dont remember if I felt like this at the beginning of Gen200...

I cannot wait to get my grade report to see how I did in my previous class. I really would like to graduate with honors. Not because of any reason but because I have never done that before......

Week 5, Day 5

I didnt post anything last week, I was too busy...I am almost done with my first class, I think we lost 2 people, they dropped, one from my learning team, however we were able to meet deadline on the final paper, it was a great team to work with afterall.

P.S. My sister graduated yesterday from DBU with a masters degree...I am so proud of her....

Week 3, Day 7

This week has gone by fast. I have been studying ahead and I have finished my week 4 paper and now I am working on the week 5 paper which is shorter (350-700 words). I have also found this wonderful resource - center for math excellence- at the school library and I am using the material there to study for my CLEP which I need to take pretty soon.
My financial aid has not yet come in there was a small delay in processing, I kinda wish all this was done before I started taking classes that way I know for a fact whether its all paid up or not and how much will have to be out of pocket.

P.S. I just read my first Steinbeck - East of Eden- and I must say it is pretty good and I dont know whom I would choose between him and Faulkner. I read the Notebook too (by Sparks) and I am not impressed, the book is a piece of **** and I will never get my four days back. This just goes to show dont trust them critics!!
