Tuesday

So in rereading my last couple of posts, I find that I use the word "So" entirely too much. I need to work on that.

I'll be taking Speech this fall (my mom teaches it btw) and after telling her a story the other day about something I saw on TV, she said, "I hope you plan to take all the 'and...uh...'s out or I'll flunk you." I told her thanks a lot. I am dreading this class because I just know I'm going to have to work harder in it than any other except the Teacher Ed courses I took. Those classes were rough. We had work due nearly every other day and there was a ton of reading involved. If anyone thinks that her Teacher Ed courses are blow-off courses, they're sadly mistaken.

I had heard about how bad Lit was going to be so I spent forever dreading that one. Wound up with an A in the course and didn't have to take the final exam. I finished it about 2 weeks ago right after finishing Art Appreciation. Thank heavens, Speech will be my last class and I'll finally graduate. Since I changed majors and I'm taking less classes than originally expected I won't be bringing my GPA up as much as I had hoped but it'll still be a 3.67 or so. Better than my first year of college by a long shot. It's still a Cum Laude but I was really pushing the last few semesters to bring it to Magna Cum Laude. Oh well - at least I'm frickin graduating finally. It's only taken me 22 years. And this is only an Associate's. I've got to apply to UA Fayetteville for a program they have for in the spring 2009. They'll accept 60 credit hours so if I take classes each semester, I can finish in about 18 months. I swear I'm retarded. If I had just pulled my head out and finished school when I first started in 86, I could have 3 stupid degrees by this time.

Let that be a lesson to anyone reading - don't be a Dumas. Attend class when you're young and can get financial aid or get your parents to pay for it!!!
