Famous Last Words : The End is Near

I completed my final revisions for my storybook and looked over my blog again. I decided that I will leave my blog up for now but am considering creating a new one just for me. I began limiting my social media posts about a year ago as I learned more about how companies research their candidates. Literally, everything is going digital in some form or another. I am leaving my storybook as a site for anyone to view. I am very pleased with it and it was fun to complete. I plan on sharing it with my family so they can check it out too. Hopefully, I can inspire my children to create their own site this summer also.

Looking back, I wish had completed just a couple extra credit assignments each week. It is never a good feeling to know that you were so close to that next grade, but just didn’t quite make it. This class gives you ample opportunities to cushion yourself so there is not an excuse. I wonder if I wasn’t as strict with the assignments because they were not being “graded” per se, it was more of an accomplishment grade. Either way, I learned a lot about my writing and woke up my creative side of my brain. It was good to expand my horizons outside of the realm of just writing research or opinion papers.

I hope that everyone in the class could finish their storybook to the level that they wanted and that the rest of their finals go great. I am ready for my three-week break before summer session starts. I usually read for pleasure and during the summer I easily churn through a book every few days. This semester three of my classes were very heavy on reading, so I think I’m burnt out for a while. I’ve only had a 4-day break between January intersession and Spring semester so it feels like I have had school non-stop since August. I think I will spend some time just chilling with the family before it starts all over again.

Famous Last Words:Don't Wait Until The Last Minute

Ha! Stress, that is this week. Definitely, should have been doing the extra credit throughout the semester, but I have had a hell of a lot of life situations hit me all at once over the past few weeks.

Reading this week was super easy, and thus made the last storytelling post easy also. I really enjoyed the Epified Hindu Calendar Art videos.

Someone's storybook had used some asterisks to split up times of day in the page. So, I showed the best compliment by copying that. I updated my storybook with those changes and FINISHED the final story. Hallelujah!

No exciting events attended on campus since I live in Broken Arrow, but I am officially feeling old.

My son started his first job last Tuesday and went to his Junior prom on Saturday night. Which by the way, he sent me a text on Monday afternoon to tell me he decided to go even though I had tried to talk him into it a month ago. It is quite a pain in the butt to rent a tuxedo less than a week before an event so keep that in mind for when you have children.

My other classes... Microeconomics sucks because I dislike the subject with a passion, but knowing it is almost over is satisfaction enough. I think this is because it is hard for me to understand the concepts online and if you read my Growth Mindset post you already heard my soapbox about online classes. My major classes are going well though. Database Design assignments have all been perfect scores, only a few quizzes have been less than perfect. This week I have to write my final paper for Community Health Information and create a powerpoint presentation about the "interesting" facts I found. I chose the topic of sex ed in public schools, which really it is the lack of because of so many states relying on abstinence-only based programs. Having a 16-year-old son and a daughter in middle school, it is important to me for a complete education(which I have given to my son after finding out what he was "taught" in his classes), but my paper has to be unbiased so wish me luck on this one.
