Well College gals!
How is it going? Is the semester going by as fast for you as it is for me? I looked at my future assignments for some of my classes and realized I only have 3 full months of school left before the end of the semester and there is a week in there that is "off" for Spring break! EEKS! I need to get cracking on my self paced class and still not lose my momentum with my paced classes.
I just took my first Unit exam for Business Law. I got an 82% which is okay. I would have liked to do better, but this class is so intense. It feels more like pre-law for lawyers instead of aimed for Accountant students!

OH MY GOSH I am so SO MAD at myself right now! I took a math quiz in preparation for a bigger math exam. I got a 60% (missed two questions out of five) because I was convinced I was getting the wrong answer on one of them. So I spent like 30 of the 60 minutes on this one question because the answer had to be six digits. Uhm yeah- I got the right answer and just totally missed the part in the example that said that the answer would the in the "thousands" of dollars. So I was looking for the 3 digit answer that kept popping up. Darn it! And I wasn't clever enough to say "hey the first three digits of answer b are the same as my answer- let's just go with that." So by the time I got to the last question I had 30 seconds left on the exam and just clicked a random answer so it would be answered. AND I GUESSED WRONG! Darn it again! And the last one was WAY easy! It would have taken me only about 2 minutes to work it out.

How are all the other college farmgirls doing? I got some Business Law taken care of tonight and was vegging on the couch thinking about how busy I will be the rest of the week as things are coming due. So I gave myself a swift kick in the rear and got back in the office. I got at least another half hour of homework done and about 3/4 of a math assignment done! YAY! Tomorrow I plan on finishing it so I can do the review for the exam before I have to do the exam itself.

How is everyone doing?
Mid Terms are over, and I have a few pressing deadlines for this evening, but I passed Micro Econ which was really scary for me! Math is only due once per month which is a HUGE blessing. And I got a 90% on my Ethics quiz this morning!
I'm starting on April 6th and am very excited. I met with the worker retraining counselor yesterday and they have a fund to pay for my first quarter's tuition and books - helps until my financial aid goes through. That is such a blessing. Good for you Alee for getting such a good grade on your Ethics quiz!!
I haven't posted here in a while, mainly due to school. I am THREE WEEKS AWAY FROM FINISHING!!!!!! All that stands between me and my Masters Degree in Management is a 50-100 page case study. And I'm working on that like crazy! My husband finished his MBA three weeks ago and is now job-searching. Ohh how I dream of being done. So close that I can almost touch it!
Omg!!! Next week is finals for winter quarter at the University of WA!!!! I have a two part essay in spanish due Monday, another essay in a different spanish class due Tuesday, a Physiology exam Wednesday, and a Pychology of Child Development exam on Thursday!!! I have already finished one of the essays due monday and will get started on the second when I stop procrastinating. I will then start the essay that is due tuesday on Monday after I turn the first ones in. After the essays are out of the way, I will start studying for my exams. Whew!

Wow Chelsey! I bet you are so ready for Spring Break! Our Spring Break is almost over- I am looking forwards to the Summer break. We get out the last day of April here. But I do have to take one class over the summer but that should be easy compared to taking 5 HARD courses this semester!

Yup! Our classes start around September 1st, then we get a Thanksgiving break and our winter break starts around the end of the first week in December. Then we don't return until the second week in January so it's nice!
I went to Indiana University of Pennsylvania for my undergrad in Music Education (major instrument: Oboe/English horn minor instrument: Piano. May 2005
Getting my masters from Seton Hill University in Greensburg PA in Instructional Design (implementing technology into the workplace for the adult learner) May 2009
I've loved music since I was born and love teaching it PRIVATELY to students that want to learn and parents encourage and make sure they are committed. (the schools are not what they used to be and will someday come around so I'm looking to get out of teaching in the schools) I also love technology and a tech junky (love the latest and greatest) so I kinda fell into this masters but it definitely would allow me to work from home and still do music and other things while having a family.
