Dropped

Well, I did it.  I dropped a class.  I couldn't handle it anymore, I had to drop Financial Management.  The teacher was bad, the book was bad and it was causing more stress than I already had.  On one hand, I feel like a failure, but on the other, I'm kind of relieved.  I'll try it again at OIT next year.  Maybe I'll have better luck then.

Two Weeks In

Today is the end of the 2nd week of classes and things are going pretty well.  I've not gotten ahead in anything, but I have not fallen behind either.  I love my all my classes, but my Hardware/Software Integration class is driving my crazy.  The tests that we take are on the previous version of the book which has a slightly different arrangement and more details in some places and less in others.  Since the class is basically the quizzes, this is really going to affect my grade.


School/Work/Life balance is going OK.  I was able to make Brandon's basketball game yesterday.  I am getting some sleep and everything is turned in on time.  Not too bad.  I did put in some good hours at work this week, the most in quite a while, but I'm not sure how much longer that will last.  This is a three-day weekend and after church, I'm coming home to finish the last of this week's work, but I told the kids that tomorrow (Monday), I was all theirs.  No work, no school, no homework.  I'm hoping we can do something fun.

Oh, one last exciting thing that happened this week.  I met the neatest lady.  She is in one of my boss' classes and she needed help and asked me to tutor her.  I have gotten so much out of it!  What a rewarding experience.
