Spanish Help

Well my first full week in college is over. It's 4:30 in the afternoon on Sunday and I have just finished all my homework. Spanish has been a real challenge so far I'm trying to stay a little ahead. College Algebra is another story, 'Q' lectures does samples on board. Doesn't want us taking any notes so I'm trying to get by. Biggest thing is I have to get a 'B' in all classes. The program I'm in requires me to maintain that average. I need a Spanish friend who I can speak Spanish with. If you are out there let me know. If not I'll have to find an online tutor.

My First Day of College Classes

So today is the first day of college classes. I wasn't able to sleep last night, I rolled and kicked the covers off. I set my alarm for 5:45, at 2:30 I was still up or at least in and out of sleep. I remember seeing the time a few times, and thinking what a long day it would be. Sure enough, its been a really long day, still at work. I got up had a bowl of Special K, got an upset stomach right before I left. On the drive I kept thinking do you really want to do this? Yes, I was nervous and a little scared. I got to school a little bit early for Spanish, which began at 8:00. I hope I can handle this the days are going to be long. Big shocker I don't have any papers to write. Professors seems to be really nice so far. Get this we had a 25 question multiple choice test in Western Civilization, not for grade. Just to see what we already new, they compare it to what we end up knowing at the end of the semester. Another weird thing we have 4 test only max score is 70 points. So as long as I get at least 220 points by the end of the semester I'll have a 'B'. Well now it's study time have reading to do before Friday.

All Ready For First Day

Well I've put book covers on all my books. I have all my school supplies packed in my new backpack. It's orange and black of course my new school colors. I'm so ready to head off to my first day as a camel. Also looking forward to my first football game September 5th. Yes I'm just a little excited to be going. I do wish that I was just going to school. For now I'll continue to work for the phone company. We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds. As soon as I get approval from the VA I'll get a new laptop. It'll be great to have a laptop just for my school work. Tomorrow this time I'll be driving to my first class. Spanish at eight o'clock in the morning. M-W-F will be my really busy days as that's when I have the majority of my classes. T-TH will be my short days with only 2 classes. My first class starts at 9:30 in the morning, sleep in morning.

Campbell University Convocation 8-16-2009

My new student convocation ceremony this afternoon was really neat. All the deans and professors come dressed in their full robes. The whole event started with a bagpipe player which was awesome. We had many great speakers it was very inspirational. Unlike my friend Lee, I didn't get a horse feed bag, (see Return to College below) LOL. I did get my Campbell Medallion it will be with me always. I'm looking so forward to my time in Campbell, even with the obstacle of working full time. This is all for today I'll write again as soon as I can.

My New Social Network Page

Found this Social Network tool on the Internet pretty neat. I love to be the first whenever possible and I don't know anyone using NING. So take the time to check it out and check out my new experimental home

Going Back to College

The clock is ticking and my first day in college is rapidly approaching. Picked up my text books yesterday in the rain. I was shocked at how much they charge for books. For this semester new books cost $782. Good thing the scholarship money is starting to come in. My friend Lee Falling up is in law school; wish I had one of these law school orange barrels LOL. Computers and technology is my cup of tea. I love to be on the bloody cutting edge of tech. I’ve been holding off buying an iTouch, I hear within a couple of months the new one will be out. Rumor has it will come with camera and microphone. Just read article and checked out pre-order of Zune HD. Looks a lot like an iTouch go figure, 32 gigs model $289. Has Wifi, HD radio and HDMI output. No camera or microphone, so I’ll wait and see if there is a new iTouch. Gotta run so I’ll end for now.

My Blog is Listed

I’m so excited to be listed on our local North Carolina, 30Threads blogroll. So now maybe I’ll get even more followers. Just eight days until I’m in college after 33 years of Navy & Corp. America. So you may want to know what my first semester schedule looks like. Spanish is my first class of the morning at 8 am. Then I’ll have Music Appreciation and on Wednesdays Religion. World Civilization ends my school day on MW & F at noon. On T & TH I have College Algebra and Fundamentals of Info Tech ending at 12:30. So I’m full time with 15.5 credits this time around.

We the People

It's time to stand up and take back America, we have sat back and watched. Now is the time to do something to ensure there is an America for our children's' great-grand-children. I have for a long time tried to understand why we only give our President 2 terms but we allow the Congress and Senate to have terms as long as they want and can be reelected. They need to be like the rest of us and have to learn to live on a budget. Maybe then they would vote what we ask them to. Get your teabag and mail it in this week so they know how we feel. Make sure you click on the link We the People awesome video. God Bless America and keep her strong.

Preparation

Been an exciting couple of weeks getting ready to go off to college. I've dropped off all my paperwork and put on my parking sticker. I have my complete schedule, carrying 15.5 credits this semester. My daughter (Lauryn) and I when off to Virginia Beach to the Vans Warp Tour it was pretty good. The line up this year wasn't all that great. I did hear some great music and I'm looking forward to next years tour. Tax free weekend here in NC so school shopping today, I need some new kicks. I've updated all my social networks, like a full time job of sorts. Heres a list: Google Profile, Twitter, FB, LinkedIn, Plaxo, My Space, Yahoo, Windows Live Profile. If I missed any or there are others I should be on let me know.

Check this out our kids’ text books

Now that I'm going back to school I found this amazing. The words that are banded from our textbooks. I was at Campbell today dropping off paperwork and my Textbook list. Also received my first Scholarship award letter. Wow I haven't even really looked yet, you'd be surprised by how much I got so far. Well I've got a Boy Scout District Committee meeting tonight so I will have to run for now. Enjoy and I'll be back again soon.

New Jersey Beach

Which town in NJ do you belong in? quiz. Seaside Hgts, NJ is where you'd find me.
This is perfect for me if you love the beach and love excitement. There are always tourists to interact with. There is food, fun, games, and the ocean!! There is always a party and lots of teenagers running around. If you love to party and don't care about sand on your feet and your hair a little messed up then this is a good spot for you
