In between classes....
Well I know I hardly ever post anymore but school can make that a little difficult. I've been wanting to post updates on life/school/work but wanted to have a great amount of time to do so which I haven't exactly had. And when I actually DO have time to write, I'd rather relax or sleep. Lol...anyways...I'm writing right now because I got out of class early and have nothing else to do. And also-after yesterday and last night, I've been kind of "in the mood" to write. So here it is....an update! :) Oh and before I begin, sorry, I know you're all anxious (lol), I wanted to thank the people that commented on my last post. I think I was throwing one of my "Sara tantrums" but the beauty in that is that MY tantrums are gotten over super quickly. Lol. Anyways, thanks again...love you guys! :)
We'll start with my first class of the week-Public Issues. It's on Mondays and Wednesdays. The only good thing about this class is it's only an hour and 15 minutes. Even though it's twice a week, an hour and 15 per day is A-O-K with me. The class, in itself, isn't the worst, but it's definitely not the BEST. First of all, I'm doing quite well in the class actually which is great. The class is basically a lecture class which isn't bad either because sometimes I just need a class where there's not a lot of participation required. There are only a few topics where I made sure to voice my thoughts and opinions, but lately we've been talking about topics I don't know much about and just plainly don't care, to be honest. We also don't have homework in the class, just quizes every couple weeks and we have to write up a total of 4 bullet outlines throughout the course of topics we talk about/debate.
Another class that's also on Mondays and Wednesdays is English-my FAVORITE class! I don't know why, it just is. I like writing and all, but the class isn't like the most exciting one. It's kind of quiet and we do a lot of little class activities. It's not like we write papers ALL the time. We've been doing a lot of sentence combining. Oh what JOY :) We also only have one more paper due this semester and it has to be a paper where you're argueing two points. I TIHNK that's what it is anyway. Well I can't wait for this class to be over ONLY because NEXT semester I'll finally be in an actual COLLEGE level English class. Since I've been out of school for awhile, I had to take two pre-college level english classes first. It sucked, but at the same time it was nice to have that review of everything.
Tuesdays, I have speech. That's a LONG class! I don't like it at all and I can't wait for it to be over. It's kind of a big class and I do well better in smaller classes. Anyways, the instructor is the wife of the pastor at my church who guest preaches from time to time. She's an awesome person and very sweet. I just wish she was like my English teacher, you know? Something I'm good at. lol. Another class on Tuesdays AND on Thursdays is choir. I love it. Love singing. Love my instructor (former high school choir teacher btw). We went to breezy point a couple weeks ago. Its about a two hour drive up north. It was crazy fun. We sang...a LOT. I would say the entire time we were up there, we probably sang a total of 13 hours. In between the rehearsals that we had, we got to just sort of get to know one another a little better. I didn't know too many of my classmates, so that was uber fun! :)
The last class I have is World Geography and that's only on Thursdays. There's a LOT of class participation and it's very hands on. That class always goes fast, which is great since it's almost three hours long. I missed a total of 3 classes in a row, so I'm little behind, but I'm not worrie about it. I missed the first one because the night before I worked late and it was super busy so I just ended up waking up late. the week after was Spring Break. The week after was again, I just woke up too late. I think that by the time it's Thursdays, I'm really tired and I end up just sleeping in, unintentional. Then the third time I missed was because of the field trip thing. Anyways, so that's that.
Overall, the semester is pretty good. I'm learing lots which is also good. I still can't wait for Summer! I have less than a month left.
Shoot, it looks like I have to head to choir in just a few. In the meantime, I had a wonderful weekend! Friday I went and saw Brandi Carlile for the second time. She was awesome, as always. Best night ever! Got her autograph and she also sang a song on the streets right in front of us...long story. Maybe I'll write about that when I have more time.
Saturday Night I watch the Passion of the Christ for the first time and cried my eyes out! It really put me there and was very moving and touching. Made my faith in Him grow even stronger! Thank you God for sending your son into the world to save us from this sinful world. Because of you, we can have a new life in paradise-that is-if we choose to accept Him into our hearts. :D
Which brings me to Easter. It was wonderful! Again-lots of singing since I'm also in the church choir. We went to both grandparents house as well as my parents friends' place for dinner. I didn't get home till about 10. How was everyone else's Easter-Those that celebrate Easter. (Sorry-I don't want this to be offensive or anything) Off to choir
