Week 3

Wheew! I thought this week would never end! Week 3 was a hard one because we had to do a group assignment this week. We had to put together a powerpoint presentation, as consultants to help this company motivate their employees to work harder... the scenario was that they are a bit on the lazy side, get paid well and have lots of perks like monthly birthday lunches out, free bagels & coffee on Fridays, and the managers weren't managing very well.

Anyway, our group got off on a slow start, and five become three - although two of us really did most of the work. With my creative talents, I was the one that put together the powerpoint. That was fun!

After a lot of late nights, and chat sessions with the other two group members, we are DONE! Of course, the hard part now, is waiting for our grade.... Stay tuned!

Week 2 Finished

School: Week 1 was a bear. I didn't to as well as I hoped on my assignments. I received a 'C' for both my discussion board assignment and my essay on the business we were to create. There was a lot of things she commented on, that I did not agree with... but she's the professor. I knew she would be tough... I gave this week's assignment extra effort to try to reclaim myself as a good student. With the help of my wonderful husband, I put together a more precise essay about my goals for the fictitious business. I can only hope something about that impresses her. Onto week 3, and it's a group assignment. Should be fun.

On a personal note, I'm very excited about tomorrow (Sunday), which will be my first Sunday on the vocal team. I have wanted to be on the worship team for quite some time and my wish finally came true! It is a bit scary though, because it's been a very long time since I have been on stage with a microphone directly in front of me. I'm used to singing with many voices in our choir. Should be a great Sunday!

My first week - Done!

I guess I can offically call myself a college student again. I completed my first week of my online class. It wasn't as overwhelming as I had originally imagined it, yet it was a bit difficult to get back into a study-mode. I'm not a big reader, and I had to read 3 chapters! Yikes!

I'm also back at work after a week off. It was hard to get back in the swing of things in the office. Thankfully, it was busy, with year-end stuff donations and stuff coming in. Students don't come back for another two weeks so it's pretty dead on campus... which also means that there's not many things open on campus for lunch.

Hope the next week goes just well.
