Hard to believe that Monday starts a new semester of school for me. Fortunately, my classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays this semester, so I do actually start classes until Tuesday. I get an extra day!
But, I didn’t exactly get done what I had planned to get done over the break. I admit that I completely slacked off.
Did I re-read my accounting and taxation books like I planned? Nope!
Did I work on the other half of the accounting project we worked on in class last semester like I planned? Nope!
Did I write anything other than the few posts I put onto my website? A little. 15 pages as an extension of the Chapter’s End story that is posted here on the website, but nowhere near as much as I wanted to write.
So what, exactly, did I do? A lot of movies and games on Google+ and PS3! A lot of web-surfing, and contacting my congressman and senators regarding SOPA and PIPA. Also, a LOT of BBC America (I swear I am addicted to that damned station!) I did, though, download all of the audio files that go to the French textbook for the class that I had to drop last semester. Now I have all of the materials to do the workbook and lessons on my own.
But I am ready for the new semester. I have all but one of my textbooks, and the missing one isn’t available online and according to the school bookstore it’s not in stock there either. We will have to see what happens with that one.
I have my Livescribe pen all charged, emptied of last semester’s classes, and new notebooks ready to be used.
My Zune is all synced and charged so it can go back in my truck and I can listen to it one the long drive back and forth on those days i have to be in school.
My laptop is charging and should be ready to use on campus, though I did get an email saying the school had updated the wireless system security, so it may not work when I get there. We will see what happens on Tuesday.
So, here’s to a new and, hopefully, better semester at school! Only 2 and one half years left before I get to graduate!
