ugh....
so i was gettin really good at this updating thing and then...classes, work, and life in general got in the way. but mostly, i never know where to start when updating. i have the same problem with papers and just about everything else in my life. so let's see, what's new?
well, i'm done with my 3rd term @ ECPI. time really flies when it comes to classes. i thought this past term would last forever, but thankfully it didn't. i mean, classes were fine, but after 15 wks straight of going to school with only a long wkend break for thanksgiving, it's nice to have some more time off. i really liked my communications class though. i had always been terrified of the inevitable communications class that i'd have to take, but it actually went really well and i learned alot. i made sure i went first on every delivery project or speech that i could. i think that's part of what made presentations or projects so bad before- i'd have to sit through half the class before i was forced to go up and by then i was a pile of nerves. another part of my nervousness came from not being prepared. i've always been fond of my aibility to wing it, but when i did that, there was always a ton of stuff that i left out bc i was nervous. but i learned that by having something as simple as an outline can help tons. i still got to wing a good deal of what i said (which was great, bc i hate just reading papers or speeches-it sounds too unemotional), but i had the organization and knowledge to get a good grade in the process.
my other class, anatomy & phys, went pretty well. there were some things that could've been improved, but overall it was a pretty good class. we had to give a presentation on the last day. one of my friends and i gave ours on inflammatory breast cancer and it went really well. we ended up getting an A, which i'm really proud of bc we worked really hard on this presentation. i love getting good grades on things i've worked hard on. it's even better than getting good grades on things i didn't really work on bc then i know i earned it. i think that's one of the lessons that ECPI has really taught me- what i put into something is what i'll get out of it. i could only go to class when i feel like it and do hw and projects only when i feel like it, but i'd get nothing out of it. i'm really trying to put alot of effort and work into my classes and program bc i want to get the most out of it that i can.
so now that christmas is over, it's really weird at michaels. i've been used to the constant rush and craziness that's been going on pretty much since i started working there, but now it's mostly gone. hopefully this will mean less glitter all over me when i get home. although one of the greatest parts, so far, has been waking up the next morning and finding glitter in my hair. we've been getting in our spring and valentines stuff though and that's kinda fun.
anyways, i'd better get off here...i hope everyone's doing well though!
