Tuesday classes start for my new semester of school. I’m feeling ambivalent about both of my classes. I am taking Geography 120 – Weather and Climate and English 378 Prose Stylistics.
Science is not my favorite topic. I enjoy the ideas in science and the possibilities. I’m not very good at the whole scientific learning. As for the English class – I’m not really sure what it is about so I’m reserving my opinion on it. I’m hoping it is a good class.
The nice thing about this semester is the science class is online so I can do it from home. The English class is held in my building so I will be able to just take the elevator to the floor and go to class. This makes getting to class much easier especially with the ambulatory issues I’ve been having. Also it means Vicki doesn’t need to worry about coming back early from her volunteering to make sure I can get to class.
Hopefully I will enjoy both classes. It would be nice if I didn’t have a horribly stressful semester but you never know with classes. The work may be extensive or there could be a variety of other issues to contend with. I’m certainly not above whining about it either. I’m just trying to go into this semester with a cautiously optimistic view point that I will do okay.
Up until last semester I had a 4.0 in my classes for this degree. Unfortunately I got an A- in my manuscript editing class which means my 4.0 is gone. However, I’m hoping the science class won’t drag me down. I’m still going to shoot for an A but I know this is a difficult subject for me.
This semester I have six books. One I was able to get one at the book rental. I got four through Amazon because they were less expensive there. I was going to get the last one through there as well but one of the comments made me nervous about buying it online. The comment talked about getting the wrong version and it causing problems. So I opted to get it from the university bookstore. Vicki went yesterday to pick it up for me. She couldn’t find it on the shelves and ended up asking. They directed her to someone who asked her a ton of questions. After she answered all the questions, the woman gave her the workbook for free. I was very surprised as this book would have been $115. By getting it free, it saves me lots of money.
