More school stuff

Well, I think I am finally getting the hang of this full time classes thing. Before when I was at HCC I was only taking two classes. This made it easy to focus on one class or the other. Now however that I am full time, I have to spread my focus out over four classes. I am getting a handle on it but the transition has been difficult. So, now I sit waiting for my Physical Geography class to start, it's interesting. Fortunately this classes grades are based on three tests, and class participation so no papers! thank god, I have enough writing to do in my other three classes.

A great investment

So I invested in a Asus Eee PC netbook for taking notes, and writing at school. Because well, sometimes even I cannot read my own hand writing. I have used it for two different class periods so far and it has been a godsend. Although I am still getting used to its smaller keyboard, so I am making more typos than usual, but at least I can read what I am writing! Speaking of writing, I am writing a ton in my Greek art and archeology class. About twice a week my professor assigns study questions, that usually wind up being 2.5 to 3 pages typewritten single space. It is worth it though as I am learning an awful lot about bronze age Greece, the Minoan, and Cycladic civilizations. Especially the art and architecture. It is a fascinating class.

well back in school

I have been back in school now for almost a month now and am very busy. I am definitely working harder than I ever did at HCC but it is worth it. For the first time in about ten years I feel that I am going somewhere with my life and it is good.
