Homework
My history and astronomy classes were kicking my ass until about Wednesday of this week. I somehow managed to get a little ahead of the game. I feel good about it, but it’s too bad it won’t last. There are only two weeks to go in the classes before they’re done. I finished all of my homework for the week for my astronomy class (including a 10-page essay) on Wednesday, and I just polished off the last bits of homework for my history class for this week.
That means that my weekend is free! Yay!
I still have a presentation in my history class due a week from Monday, and I’m going to see if I can knock it out Sunday. Depends on the weather, really. If I can get the presentation done, then I’m done with the class, except for taking a couple of tests that I need to study for. Not a big deal.
I have some forum posts for my history class over the next two weeks, but they’re pretty simple and I can knock them out in under an hour. Lastly, I have a 3-5 page essay for my history class where I have to interview an immigrant. Good thing there are a few at work that I can talk to. Should be cake.
The end of these two classes (which have been quite tedious, time-consuming, and requiring lots of work) is in sight, and I can move on to my next two classes.
My next two classes are computer security countermeasures and speech communications. I did 3 years of speech and drama in junior high and high school. I can talk circles around most people, and I can handle almost any type of speaking engagement. Speech communications will be a snap. You may think that the computer security countermeasures class will be boring, but I love learning that kind of stuff. I’m really looking forward to the class. I’m taking it “guided independent study”, which means that the teacher gives me all of the reading/homework assignments up-front, and I get them done by the end of the 8-week class. I tend to blow it off for a few weeks, and then I really get into it. Depending on how things go with the history/astronomy stuff, I may try to get a jump-start on it, and get it knocked out early. Probably won’t happen, but it’s a good thought.
