Fall Semester is OVER!

After being out of school for 2 years, this fall I went back to school. I am getting another bachlor's in History. It was the major that I intended to get when I went to college the first place, but at Berea, the history department required a foreign language, and I couldn't for the life of me get a foreign language down. I took both Spanish and German and made D's in both classes. These were the first D's in my life ever. During this time, I discovered Women's Studies, and I was in a time a discovery in my life. I had decided that I did not want to become a lawyer, and wanted to be a social worker, so I changed my major.

I do not regret my decision on becoming a Women's Studies major, and I learned who I really was during my classes. I decided though it was my passion, and I still want to do all the things that I wanted to do at Berea, but I also want to follow another passion of mine that my mamaw pointed out to me when I was 18, but being an 18 year old, I did not take her advise.

She told me I should have studied education, and be a teacher. I was a stubborn 18 year, and didn't want her to tell me what I should do with the rest of my life. Well, I should have listened to her. I am going back for education.

This semester was an adjustment. Public college is totally different than private (blog post about that soon). Also I had to work around a full time job and taking care of a two year old. It's totally different.

But I did fairly well. Two As and a B. I only took 9 credited hours, so I was three short of being full time, but next semester I am taking 13 credited hours. With 7 hours being online. I have never taken an online class, so this will be something new.

Peaceful and Happy Thoughts,
