Summer Semester

Post by trentm32 »

Got my university finals next week, and the Summer semester after that. I'm taking my "English 102" class, plus a weight training class *does Hercules pose* I figured I'd go ahead and get my 102 out of the way with it as my only class; that way I can focus more attention on it so I don't fail. And I get to go for FREE this Summer cuz my scholarship got expanded to Summer coverage. 8-)

Plus, I've been thinking a lot, and I may have finally picked a major: English Lit. Get all my creds and teach at a college level. I dunno, just thinking out loud.

Anyone else taking classes this Summer?
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I thought about taking a break; but then I thought about how hard it would be in the Fall taking 102, along with all my other hard classes.

Plus, classes are a bit easier over the Summer semester.

I took summer courses every year except for right after my first year of college. It's a good way to get ahead, and to get some extra classes in to pad your GPA.

Why not?

I'm taking two classes. Finance and a business information systems class. :wall:

I kind of have to stay up here this summer anyway- I'm working on booking a comedian for October and I have to be here to take care of some of the college show formalities. And some people I know are putting on a few concerts this summer so I'm going to help with that.

because my marks suck. and if i get below a certain mark in summer school, i'll be suspended for a full year. so, i would rather not risk it.
