Ok. So it's the middle of the week for my first full week of classes. (Last week was still a short week due to MLK day.) Now I can update on the classes and life and such.
Classes...well, let's just say that I'm glad it's my last semester. I am taking 14 hours and yet I still find myself on campus more than Ryan, who is taking 16 hours (he get's Mondays and Fridays off!). I have two Biology classes, which I may find interesting later on in the semester. They are both 3 hours long so it is very difficult to be excited about the topics. I am also taking Computers, Technology, and Literature. It is going to be a fairly easy class, but I haven't made up my mind if I will like the class. I'm just indifferent, which brings me to my next class, Philosophy of Art. (According to Francis Hutcheson, my last sentence would be false.) That class is a big headache. The class is so diverse. Five of us are there to fulfill our Humanities minor. A few are there as graduate art students with another few there who are philosophy majors. The most vocal, in my opinion, are the art major students, who make up the majority of the class. There's too much thinking involved. It does add something to Ryan and my dinner conversations. Overall, it is a pretty rough semester and I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy it.
Work has been excellent. I've been sick with some sort of virus the past week and a half, so I have missed a few days. We recently did a major collection of supplies to bring to Haiti. Lately, we are preparing for Valentine's Day and the upcoming wedding expo in a couple of weeks. Overall, things are going well at work.
Resolution Check!
(My resolutions are in purple.)
1.) Try not to get upset when life has a few unexpected bumps. This seems to be going well. Not too much to worry about now.
2.) Realize that plan b or c or d may work out for the best. Well, I continue to pursue those other plans, but no news yet.
3.) Lose at least 35 lbs. before graduation by eating better and exercising. Eh, well, ya see... It's hard to diet and exercise when you're sick and trying to get back into the routine for school and stuff. Maybe February will be better.
4.) Make all A's this semester. The new laptop should help with that. As far as I know I'm doing well.
5.) Take more pictures. I finally have another great camera so hopefully these posts will contain more photos. Ok. I haven't really had that many opportunities, but it is supposed to snow heavily this weekend so maybe some snow pictures in the future.
6.) Call my parents more often. Since I've started work at the hotel I haven't been able to call every night, sometime just once a week, but with my new phone I will be a little more inclined to call even when it is late. Hm. This one is a tough one to answer. I've called every day that I have been off work, I think. I still need to work on this one.
7.) Send birthday cards. I used to send them all the time, but I lost the list with everyone's birthdays. Now that I have the list again so maybe I can keep it up. I got Elizabeth a card, but not Dave or Louden or a couple of my kids. :/
8.) Have more laughs and smiles than "grr" moments. Check!
9.) Save some money. (I tend to spend my paycheck in the week that I have it instead of saving it.) I've already started my $5 fund (ask me about it if interested). Great!
10.) Blog more. This one everyone who reads this can poke at me to keep this resolution. Seriously, bug me if you haven't seen a blog in a while. Well, I'm doing well with this one because I'm blogging now. ;) That's 3 blogs in one month!
Well that's all that I have for now. Hopefully I can put some more pictures up later. Stay warm!
P.S. How do you guys like the backgrounds?
