This Semester...

I seem to do this every single semester. I cry "woe is me-this is the hardest semester of my life". My first semester at the college wasn't too bad, but my 2nd one, I thought I was going to die. My summer semester, I took on 3 six week classes and was convinced I was enduring a long and painful death. Last semester, the first one where I took math, I was sure that my algebra teacher would kill me. Looking back, I can only sigh and wish things were as easy now as they were then.

This semester, I'm on my way to finishing up my AA degree. I'm taking 4 classes: Physical Science, World History, College Algebra and Statistics.<<Sounds like lots of fun, huh? Well....let's just say, don't bother being jealous. lol. I have some great professors this year. My algebra and science teachers are both great ladies who are helping me get through the material. I'm very thankful for their help,and hope that between them and God, I'll survive yet another semester.

 

 

I'm overwhelmed this semester, but at the same time, excited. Remember me posting about applying to a university? Well, guess what? Got accepted! Whoo-hoo! Just have to finish up here at my little ol' community college, then I'm off to get started on my Elementary Education degree! Is that not amazing? I can't believe how quickly time is flying by. I've been dreaming of going off to college for years, and now, it's here!

 

Well, gots me a study group to get to, so I'll talk to y'all later on! :)

Why I Don't Wanna Grow Up...

1. Because goldfish is the best snack ever. You can get away with goldfish being the main staple of your diet when you're a kid, but when you grow up...people look at you funny. :(

 

2. Because I still love cartoons. 8 years ago, my mom wouldn't bat an eye if I told her I wanted to watch Toy Story. Now...she looks at me funny.

 

3. Because kids don't worry about what they're gonna wear the next day. You can get away with wearing stripes and plaid together when you're 5...now, if I don't match perfectly, my sister looks at me funny.

 

4. Because when you're a kid, you're still capable of enjoying the little things life has to offer. Now, if you try to go out and play in the rain puddles...all of nature looks at you funny.

 

5. Because when you're a kid, you can gorge yourself on candy and get away with it. Now....my my dentist looks at me funny.

 

...And that's where my list ends cause my fantasy is being interrupted by my college statistics class. :( Bye, y'all! :)

Current Happenings in the Life of Emily....

I know it's been a while. Life has been so crazy these past few days. College classes started back up Monday, and with 4 fairly hard classes (physical science, statistics, college algebra and world history), it's already giving me a run for my money! I was feeling kinda stressed, but I have my schedule mapped out, so I think I'm going to be okay.

So have you seen "Brave"? My sisters went to see it earlier this summer, and came home raving about how good it was. Of course, I was dying to see it, and we started counting down the days till it came out in Redbox. The Scottish accents in this movie are AMAZING...the story line's pretty cute too...not my very favorite movie, but it was still good!

On my list of New Year's resolutions was to read more. One of the books I started this month was Elisabeth Elliot's "Passion and Purity". I've heard great things about it, so I decided that it must be worth reading....it is so good! Haven't finished it quite yet, but everything I've read of it thus far has been excellent! Filled with some pretty amazing quotes...like...“But the question to precede all others, which finally determines the course of our lives is What do I really want? Was it to love what God commands, in the words of the collect, and to desire what He promises? Did I want what I wanted, or did I want what He wanted, no matter what it might cost?”
