Sorry that it has been so long since I last blogged. Things have been getting a little busier around here as we head in to Thanksgiving break and then the end of the term and Christmas break. Only three more weeks till I get to go home finally. Just for a general update, I am doing much better than I was the last time I blogged. I'm having some quiet times with God again. And I'm staying busy with school work. Trying not to get behind anymore. I have a big research paper due on Dec. 9th as my final but I really don't want to end up putting it off till the last minute. Which I do way to much of!!
ANYways, schools going pretty good, can't wait for it to be over. I registered for classes the other week and it was really nice and easy. Unlike my friend Katie's experience at UF. Academic Advising 101 you should check it out, and sympathize with her.
That is one of the things that I love about a small college. I have my academic advisor that I make an apointment with. I went to see her, she sat down with me at the computer and asked what classes i was looking at. I told her what I was thinking about, I had done some research about what was available online. We then clicked on the courses that I wanted and if they weren't available looked at others. Everything needed for registration is online and available to the students. As freshman we are required to go through our advisors. Prof. Prater is really nice, she works in the art department, but they make sure that all the advisors know about the General Ed requirements and are there to help you figure out what you want to do. Another thing about it being a small college is that they know where you need to go if you have a certain question and very rarely will you get the run around. After taking ten to fifteen minutes to register I left her office very satisfied. I am thinking about majoring in Education, probably elementary. and I want to minor in Physics. So she told me to go see someone in the education department to discuss the track that I would need to take to go about doing that.

I don't know if any of this is making any sense but it was all very easily done. And this past tuesday I met one of the education department heads at a luncheon and he said I could come see him anytime, his office is just done the hall from one of my other classes. And to get started with education, and to see if that's what I want to do all I have to do is take the Foundations of American Education course which he teaches. I love getting answers to my questions.

And at the same time, my Am. Lit. professor is trying to convince me to be an English major. Do you think that I could be an Elementary Education major, an English major and a Physics minor. That sounds like a lot of stuff to me. maybe we'll have to think about this a little bit more. Who knows what could happen.
Well after taking you through all of this I guess I should tell you what classes I signed up for.

For Winter term:
Personal Finance: based on Biblical Principals
Film history
For Spring term:
Intro to ROTC
Basics of ROTC
Modern European History
Elem. German II
Christian Traditions- a religions course
I'm looking forward to taking these classes. the sound pretty exciting. Well I have to run to class now. I'll write more later. There is an issue I wish to write my opinion about, and I think I will let my voice be heard. Have a great Friday. Four more days till Thanksgiving Break!!!
