news wiriting

Hopefully less stressful!

In August, the same day the fall semester started for Penn State, I scheduled my classes.

That was such a stressful day! I moved out of Seton Hill on Sunday, and the next day I had to drive back to return my room key, fancy iPad, and books. Then I drove to Penn State and re-enrolled, quickly scheduled what ever I could that was left,  bought my books, and somehow made it to two classes. I had been enrolled at two colleges in the same day.

I ended up getting an interesting schedule.

At first, I thought that the times/days of my schedule would be hard, but I quickly adjusted. What was hard was the actual classes.

Why did I schedule economics, microbiology, rhetoric, a computer class, and news writing all in the same semester?! I had no choice because I scheduled so late. From late August until still today, I have been working my butt off just to keep up with most of my classes.

I thought that microbiology would be insanely hard. I eneded up LOVING it!

I thought the computer class and economics would be managable. I was wrong.

News writing and rhetoric kept me busy with so many homework assignemnts.

As the semester wore on, I began to feel bad for Jimmy, my family, and friends. I spent so many weekends trying to catch up on school work and had little to no time for anything else. When it came time to schedule for this semester, I was determined to make my schedule less stressful.

For the spring semester I scheduled kinesiology, creative writing, an online writing for the web course, Spanish II, and a communications course.
