5 weeks to go

i know, i said i would have pictures with this post... sorry. i know i'm being lazy. i have pictures from christmas still on my camera. honestly, i just so tired at the end of my day that i don't feel like posting anything - hence the lack of posts this semester. but, one day i'll keep my promise of posting pictures. i do have pictures on shutterfly... which is out of date too. DAH!

so a sum-up of the last few weeks:

the 5-9 was my spring break... not much of one since it didn't coordinate with my kid's spring break. i was planning to spend some time each day to get some research done for a paper due at the end of the semester... didn't happen. i spent my time reading and watching movies and playing with my kids.

my first week back to school was hard, not so much a big work load, just tired from all those late nights the week before. my bio class continues to be fun, mostly because the professor and his stories. he's an odd duck, but i like him. we had our second exam the friday before our break and turns out i didn't do too bad. i got the same score (pre-bonus points) as the last exam, a 21/30. i know, not great... but when you add in the bonus points he gave to everyone for some of the problems... i got a 28. i figure i'm doing solid B work in his class. i had a quiz this past friday on human reproduction, i got a 50!!!! my mom couldn't believe it, since it was multiple choice. i read her the questions i got wrong, the look on her face confirmed that she wouldn't have done any better. so HA!

math class is a challenge, but a good one. the professor has a chart that lists our class rank. with one being the lowest, i'm in the 20th spot out of 27 listed. i'll take it. we had two 'papers' to do and i got a whole 8 points on the first (out of 20) and 17 on the second... i think i'm gettin it. my web work assignments are solid Bs. so i have earned that rank of 20. though there are 33 people in the class, so 6 didn't even register on the chart. as long as i did i'm ok with that.

my writing class has just gotten interesting. we've been talking about ethics in writing and now copyrights. some of the topics get my blood boiling, but i keep it in check when i respond to her questions. the same people still irk me with 'like' and 'i was gonna say' and messing with their hair. i'm sure i was just like them when i was their age, doesn't soften the response though. well, like i said earlier, i am in the process of research for my paper. it's dealing with art, why we call it art, why we feel the need for.... crap, i can't think of the word!.... justification (not what i wanted but it works) in purchasing said art, why we spend thousands of dollars on art that a five year old can produce... stuff like that. still not sure if i'm gonna do an actual paper or not, i do have options. if i do the paper then i can be done sooner, but i don't know if i can get 6-8 solid pages out of my topic. we'll see.
