Where Was I.....

Now my last blog post about what was happening in my life happened during midterms of last semester and in about 3 weeks I will be starting up midterms once again. Both a lot and little has changed since that point, if that makes any sense. And so this post will be about school.

So I did fairly moderate on all my midterms and continued to finish last semester with a "A", "B", "C+", "D+", "F" and a "W", which pretty much covered all the letter grades if you do not take into account + and -. A was for Choir which the only way to get a bad grade is not to show up. Surprisingly I passed my dreaded philosophy course with a D+ something I did not expect to pass. Now I was trying my hardest but I am anything but a philosopher as I am sure a few of my friends will agree, so passing this course was a huge surprise. The one course that I did fail, and can I say that it is the first University Course I have failed, was History to the 1500's. Parts of this class I found riveting while others almost had me falling asleep in my chair. Due to the large amounts of writing and unfortunately the hated having to memorize things I didn't fair to well on the final. Of course getting my second lit review all messed up may have attributed to it (Although I did a good job on it....). As for the W I chose to withdraw from the course to make it (a) easier on the rest of my work and (c) it was the final day to drop the course and I was NOT understanding anything (and I didn't miss a single class!).

So what do I have planned for this semester? A couple English classes, as well as a couple Choirs and a Discipleship and Mentoring course. While I love my school and the people in it I am not 100% happy with my program and the courses that they have to offer and so I have decided to take my ECE (early childhood education) certificate starting next year. I love little kids and since it will be a long time before I have any of my own why not take care of others? Unfortunately the College I was going to take the course at no longer offers the course so I either have to take it at a different campus somewhere else (Vancouver perhaps?) or take the 4 year course out here. So which will it be? I must say I'm tempted to take distant one because I can get the same piece of paper for half the amount of time it will take doing the course out here.

So how is school going for you?

Dear Diary....

Now I only have 10 official followers and since I haven't been keeping up to date on this here blog I don't even know how many of them actually read this regularly. But the more I think about it at the rate I'm going at this blog almost seems like a journal or diary.

Remember when you were a kid, mostly likely the girls will associate with this one better then the others, and you had a diary? I remember my first diary. I got it from my aunt (along with this gorgeous strawberry bubble bath) and it was hot pink and fuzzy. I only wrote in it an average once a year and I think I may still have the pages around here somewhere....as my roommate from last year can tell you, I like to hoard things.

As I got older I started a prayer journal that I kept up steady for at least a year. At first it was just me writing down the Lord's Prayer and the 'Now I lay me down to sleep' poem, but as weeks progressed I started to add my own personal thoughts. Eventually it was a journal that I used to talk about the good times and the bad times, but mostly the bad times. Things that were frustrating or stressing me out, who I was hopelessly in love with (and by that I mean that it was hopeless), who made me angry, cry or laugh. After I filled up a book I would through it out. It was my way of committing everything that I wrote to God. Sure it may have been cool to look back on it someday and reread everything but if I recall correctly it mostly consisted of me when I was upset. Over time I have learned to bring both the good and the bad the God and perhaps journaling would be a good thing to start up again.

Well now you know a bit more about the inner me, something that not many people know but also something I hope to slowly change.

Hopefully I can catch you up to where I am in my life currently and keep you interested at the same time. So did you every have a diary or journal? What did you use it for?
