Yes...I am still here...barely

2010 ended and 2011 began with me laying deathly ill(perhaps that's an exaggeration...) on the couch wondering if I'd ever be able to, not only swallow again, but keep whatever I swallowed down. Not the most exciting new year ever and now those sick lazy days of playing wii and napping on the couch are over! This semester will be a BUSY one, the first week alone almost killed me. I think that I finally have everything organized, church and school wise (except visiting teaching assignments...I really need to get on top of that). But busy is good...at least for right now it is. I'm only taking 14 credits and I've got some fun classes in there!

• Psych 365 Emotion and Motivation
• Psych 310 Culture and Gender
• Fam 160 Family Relations
• World Religions
• English 370-Jane Austen
• Beginning Bowling

Exciting eh? I think so! The Psych classes definitely have the potential for kicking my butt! But they are both interesting topics and I love the teachers so the hard work is worth it(ask me if I feel the same in a few weeks) And the last three classes are just for FUN! I haven't taken a "fun"class my entire college experience. They don't have anything to do with my major or minor. (for Family Relations I am required to keep a blog about the things I learn. On my blog list is a new blog "Family Relationships" PLEASE read! I will be sharing insights from class, it should be good) It's fate that they bring back, after 5 years, a class dedicated solely to Jane Austen my last semester. I LOVE that class! And bowling is just AWESOME.

HOLY COW....it's my LAST semester taking classes! Weird, I have been going to school for as long as I remember and come April I'll have to put all that knowledge to the test. How do I feel about that? Terrified, excited, relieved, anxious, sad, happy, pumped, ready....wait am I ready??? I don't know! This is going to be a crazy semester. Lots to do and tons of decisions.

BRING IT ON!
