1st week is a doozy!

Well, so far this week has been full of information!!! This class is very intense. Adult Development is very complex. I really had to dig deep in order to write my two assignments that were due today. I still have a quiz and another chapter to read by Monday. Plus reply to 4 of my classmates. Next week we have about the same work load on top of starting our paper. Even though I am overloaded with information, I am still enjoying myself. I was a little scared about writing my 2 assignments because this new girl in our class writes very intellectual postings. I do not, nor will I ever think of myself as intellectual. So, I wasn't sure I could live up to the expectations. Then I realized, I need to just do these assignments the way I would do them and not worry about how this other girl does hers. The more I read hers, the more it just looks like a bunch of "flowery" words trying to make herself sound smart. I'm sure she is very smart, but, I seriously can barely understand what the heck she is trying to say! ;o) What's really funny, is that I have had to help this girl figure out how to do everything. If she is so smart, you would think she would read the directions! ;o) Anyway, I did my best, and that's all I can ask of myself. I just hope it's good enough.

This is class is so intense however that it looks like we have already lost quite a few people. There were several from my last class that were supposed to be in this one that I haven't see at all yet, which is not a good sign. I was afraid of that though. This stuff is really hard, and a lot of the people in the last class barely passed. That class was a cakewalk compared to this! Seriously! I hope they are just late in posting their info, but, I'm afraid that's not the case. I'll let you know how any we actually lose.

I received my grades for my last class and it was a 4.0! Yeah!! I have no idea what I will get in this class. I'm just going to do the best I can. I actually HAVE to get at least a 2.0 in my first 4 classes because I am on probation due to my poor grades in my previous college days. What happened then was I ended up drop/failing 2 classes because they were affecting the rest of my classes. It was after that year that I decided to quit and just let DH go to school. So, now I pay for my past mistakes! But, that's ok because it forces me to do better.

Well, I hope you all are doing well! I will post again in a day or so!
