School Comes First

Run!! School is Just Around the Corner

So for the past four weeks I have been on winter break. My spring semester at Palomar is starting on Tuesday the 18th. The reason for starting school Tuesday instead of the traditional Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. This semester I am taking more than I did my first one. Apparently summer school does not count as a semester. Go figure. Anyway last semester I had three classes and this semester I am going to be enrolled into six of them. So I am probably going to have less frequent postings because I am trying to maintain a good GPA.

Catch Up

I will admit that I am a little behind on my actual reviews. But I am trying to catch up. Really I am. But this plan of mine does not include me not reading so my list may never seem to get any smaller. But the good news (or bad news) depending on how you see it is that since I have so much going on for me right now that I can't always finish all of the books that I want to. Another down is that I can't always remember every thing about the book that I read a month ago. What I am going to try to do is review the books that I finish and when I have time review the backed up books. I also have a huge pile of books in my to be read pile. And when I say a lot I mean a lot. I have a problem of buying books while I still have about a dozen books checked out from the library. And library books always come first, especially when they are due and I am unable to renew them because some mean person wants to put the book on hold. Sigh, I can only try but I really need to continue to get all A's in my classes. I will not allow myself anything less.

Picking Classes at Palomar

Oh my Goodness! That has to be the most horrible experience of this month. I swear this is even going to top the feeling that I will be getting on Thanksgiving. I know it. I do not even want to remember how many times that I had to redo my schedule. Lets just say that I some how went from having most of my classes on Tuesday and Thursday to having them mostly on Monday and Wednesday. Luckily even though when I  finally clicked the enroll button I was 4 minutes late (8:49) I still got in all of the classes that I had in my cart in the end. In your face. When I say 'your' I mean the people who got to the earlier classes that I had originally wanted. Sigh and phew, I am done and I really don't want to think about it anymore.

History Homework

I really need to start my History study guide. The problem is that I really dislike my History 102 teacher. She lowered my grade for the homework that I turned in because I did not write it in 'my own words' and then lowered it even more because I did not write it the same way that she worded it. How unfair is that?
Because of my dislike of this teacher I find it hard to try for this class. When I like my teacher I always find the work so much easier to do, even if I do not necessarily like the subject. It is a gift and a curse. (Hee hee. Monk reference.)
