Sorry for the lack of updates. School and work and wedding stuff have been big, and I haven't felt like I've had a lot to say. That's good, I guess, because the biggest worry I had about how I'd be feeling and doing this time a couple of months ago was school-related, and guess what? I'm killing it. MURDERING. Every grade I've gotten back in every class has been an A. Not always 100%, sure, but I am not complaining. Today I had my Education midterm and turned in a paper in Humanities. I hope and expect to do as well on those as I have my previous assignments/evaluations. I don't know, it's just going great.
90% of the work is showing up, for sure. Being in class, taking notes, staying awake no matter how much I want to nap in my last class, it's the vast majority of what it's taken me so far to succeed. The rest is actually working. Reading the assigned bits, writing the papers (and being willing to submit even the ones that are merely "good enough"), studying, it's the rest. I guess soon I'll also have to include doing my field work for Education, because I'm required to show up and take notes for a total of 18 hours in a classroom. I'm not actually looking forward to that, but I'll get through it.
I know it's lame to show up and be like, "I'm so great!" but shut up. Things are going well. I'm doing a good job. And soon the semester will be over and I'll only have, oh crap, two months before my wedding. I should really post a "what I've done so far for the wedding" recap, or maybe a note about this charity stair climb I want to do. I'll keep you posted, alright? And make a much better effort to update this thing every once in a while. Scout's honor!
