Papers suck

So, I'm in school.  I'm not telling a whole lot of people...and I apologize if I have already said this before, but I'm not telling a lot of people because, I have to take and ace 3 classes before I can even apply to the Masters program at Pitt State.  So, I'm currently in 2 of the 3 classes...I had a preview of my first project in one class this past Saturday and the final for that project is due on Halloween.  And I just wrote my first paper.  It had to be at least 3 pages.  I realized as I was writing said paper, that I hate writing papers.  That is the worst part about school.  Give me busy work, give me quizzes...tests kind of suck as well...but they are better than papers.  I mean, they just suck!  But I finished!  I had someone check it out (along with the criteria) and I feel as if I did pretty well.  It's not due until next week, but I wanted to get it done.  I had to write about a musical...the whole class is about musicals...so as far as classes go, it's pretty fun so far!  Musicals are one of my favorite things in the world!  So...overall it's not terrible, but I have to get an A!  So, I want to work extra hard!  Even one B is not allowed and won't get me into the club!  Wah Wah!

Keep your fingers crossed that my work will be enough!  Thats all for today!

The next 6 months...are here!

Alright folks,
I had a really good topic to blog about the other day...but now I have forgotten it...

Oh wait!  I'm going to school!  I am not really telling people that I'm going to school...since it's not really for anything quite yet.  I have to take 3 classes and get A's in all three classes before I can even be accepted into the Masters of Art in Teaching program!  So, once I get into that program, then I will talk a little more about it!

So, this semester I'm taking a few courses- the first one is Musical Theatre Appreciation and History!  This seems to be a really fun class.  It started on Monday and I'm super excited about it!  I'm trying to not be the "annoying try-hard" of the class.  I have to really censor myself...ha ha ha!  The other class I'm taking is a Independent Study class of Oral Interpretation of Literature!  It should be a fun class as well!  I was totally cool with it, but then at my first class she said don't read it so acting like...make it more about the words.  So, I will have to really think about that and practice that!  The first topic is a Children's Book, then it's song Lyrics!  Both of those are pretty easy!  At least right now, I think they are easy!  We shall see!

On October 21, I can sign up for classes for next semester- which will be a video production class.  Hopefully that will be a fun class as well!

I know that I have spoken about the future before, but it really is a very exciting thing!  With school, and new jobs, and future kids, and moves...it's all so exciting!

Everyone enjoy your day and send lots of love out into the world!
