Hello Old Friend, Hello

So I survived the Spring semester of school. It was so hard. I am glad it I passed. My grades were awful. I made a D in psychology. I love psych, but the professor was not very good at getting his point across. I hated his class. I did not think I would pass. Right after I took my last final we headed out on vacation for so much needed r&r. We went to Montana. We had a blast. I loved the scenery. When we hit Wyoming, it reminded me of a cowboy movie. A lot of the people we talked to only live in Montana & Wyoming seasonally. They would only work for 5-8 months each year & then they would vacation the rest of the time. Perfect!! I could easily handle that.
We were unable to dig for sapphires because it snowed 19" over night & closed down the town we planned on going to to dig, but we did dig for garnets (my birthstone) I found a lot of them. It was really cool.

I had 3 weeks off of school & now I am back in session. I am taking Intermediate Algebra which is the same as high school Algebra II. Which I aced over a decade ago. I remember all of the stuff the professor is talking about, but I hope I can remember it when it comes to taking a test.

I am looking ahead to the Fall Semester. I have already enrolled in my classes. I am taking English Comp II-3 credits, Humanities I -3 credits, College Algebra -3 credits & Zoology -5 credits. I am taking 14 credit hours this fall. I am scared I will not be able to keep up. This is the only combination of classes I can take to keep my scholarship. This is the only semester I will have a heavy load, so if I make it through, then it will be smooth sailing after that.
I will be in class Mon-Thur nights. I will only have weekends to get homework done. In the spring I plan on taking General Chemistry I & Lab -5 credits, Microbiology -5 credits and a Health and Wellness class - 2 credits. This will be pretty challenging. But I know if I can make it through the Fall, I will be fine.

I need to get some photos up from our vacation. I will try to sort through them soon & get them up. We had a blast. I am looking forward to out next vacation. I need to think of something cool to do next May.

Nice update. You are going to be busy in the fall. I enjoy reading your updates,though I never update. But, then, what do I have to update about? LOL. It's Monday, I have two kids and I fixed dinner. That could be any of the 52 weeks of the year. LOL
I wanna see pics, even if I've seen them before. ;)

Digging for your own garnet sounds like a lot of fun...are you going to have it made into a ring? Hang in there with school.

I salute you! This is hard stuff, but it's totally worth it. You're going to be fine. I have faith in you.

My only advice... GET A GOOD LAB PARTNER IN THE SCIENCE CLASSES. Not someone fun or funny, but someone who takes the course seriously. They may be boring and smelly, but it's their integrity that counts.
