Update on Classes!!!!!!

So I thought I would fill you in on how my classes are going.

Psychology 101: That is the most boring class ever!!! I could totally skip it and still pass the class. She posts all her power points online, then goes over them IN CLASS? I can read the power point from my own computer but I guess she thinks me hearing her read them to me everyday at 10 am is going to help (it doesn't). She did bring in a human brain the other day to show to the class. That was pretty cool considering I have never seen one in real life. I mean I have one and can't even see it.lol.
Theatre 100: This class is pretty cool. I don't really know anyone in there yet and probably won't get to know anyone until we start doing group work. We can't do much "acting" yet because the Bell Theatre is currently undergoing construction so were stuck in a little classroom right now. Theatre seems like it is going to be an easy 'A' (i hope).
Math 098: I really like and dislike math so much!!!!! I am really good at it, most of the time, but when it comes to test time I completely bomb the test...which is why I am stuck in this stupid class; however, it is helping me to understand why I do all these steps and I have to explain everything I do...which is sometimes difficult for me because I like to get straight to the point and avoid all the in between stuff. I am pretty much teaching myself how to do most of the work, the teacher just kind of walks around the room expecting someone to ask a question...but nobody ever does.lol.
History 120: Now just to prepare you, I am completely against taking this class. I think it is silly that I am having to "re-learn" all this material I learned in HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!! I think they are just making me take it to get more money out of me. I know they want me to be a "well rounded" student but seriously? I am learning about the slave trade and the 13 colonies...I have ALREADY learned all of this. Yeah sure it might be an easy 'A' but I like to look at it as a waste of my time and money!!!! Did I mention this class is 2 hrs and 40 minutes long. Enough said.
Nursing 100: Before today, I was not liking this class at all. I was rather disappointed in the way they were doing things; however, today we got news that we get to go to a Lab in the School of Nursing and watch the simulators (that give birth, we can poke with needles, and undergo typical serious situations ex. seizures, stroke, etc.) and we get to play around with taking vital signs (blood pressure, temp., pules, etc.). I am also going to job shadow a nurse Sept. 25th. Pray I am not in geriatrics again!!!!!! I love old people don't get me wrong but big person poop is so much different than little person poop.lol.

Well anyways....I posted a blog awhile ago talking about rain. I said that you should always have an umbrella or you are going to get rained on. Well today I learned something new about the rain. If you don't wear tennis shoes, your probably going to slip and fall in the middle of road and bust up your knee :) Needless to say, I was briskly walking across the crosswalk today because the time had already ran out & I was running slightly late for class, so I went for it (mistake #1). I was wearing flip flops at the time (mistake #2) and you guessed it....I fell in the middle of the road :) Thank goodness I was quick on my feet and I didn't completely face plant....just took a little spill and I bruised my knee pretty bad and scraped up my foot....but I'm ok :)

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!! My bed officially feels like "cloud 9." I went to Target this weekend and bought 2 memory foam mattresses; therefore, $50 dollars later, I now have 2 memory foam mattresses and an egg shell on my bed......it feels worth it :)

There are a couple of things I learned:
1.) Never let your previous conditions prevent you from planning your future.
2.) "What ifs" will never lead you to a planned future.
3.) Wear tennis shoes when it is suppose to rain.
4.) The will of God will never take me where the power of God will not protect me.

I just wanted to let you know that I am patiently waiting at the cross and I will not be moved. I will stand strong and nothing can stop me!!!
