End of the Beginning

Today was the end of the beginning. Of school, that is. Yup, I'm all finished with English 101. I guess third time is a charm. It went a lot smoother this time than it did in 97' Actually, I'm glad that I waited until now to retake it this last time. Being a bit older really made concentrating on studying a whole lot easier. The class went well, I got high grades on my essays, and I think I actually learned quite a bit. I'm even fretting about how high my grade is going to be even though it is going to be an A (I'd love it to be 4.0). I've never done that, I was always content with getting a C in high school. My Art 110 went well too, again very high grades all quarter. I do have to say that I worked a whole lot harder at Art than I expected to. There is a lot more reading and studying involved than I think students realize. Don't take Art 110 just to get an elective out of the way easily, it is harder than it sounds.

Hopefully this means I can contribute to the blog a bit more for the next few weeks, that is, before Math 95, Design 1, and Intro to Internet Technology start up in January. Kenny has promised me personal math tutoring, if not from him, from one of the many math inclined friends we have. I have my fingers crossed that if I apply myself like I did in English, it will be a breeze.
