Fall Semester, Senior Year

Next Monday marks the first day of classes for the fall semester, the last fall semester as an undergrad! I never thought I would get here, and so quickly! I could not be more excited for the end of spring semester and take on my next life goal. Who knows what that might be, but I am excited to figure that out. As long as I have the people that make me smile around me, especially Ricky, I will be happy no matter what I may choose to do.

This semester may be a bit hectic because I want my spring semester to be easy, so I can work more and focus on finding a job. I am taking 17 credit hours this semester, so I can take the minimum 12 credit hours next semester. So excited for that! More time to do every thing!

This semester coming up even includes my last science class requirement that I have been putting off. Definitely not my thing! I took the first science requirement last summer, which was a bad decision on my part because the material we had to cover went faster, making it much harder for me. I took another summer class this summer too (Speech!), but I steered clear of science. I wanted to take speech because I knew I would not be able to take that type of class during the normal semesters because I would be way too analytical about it. I am very thankful I made that decision; there was only 11 people in the speech summer class, which made it a much more relaxing atmosphere to speak. 

SO, let me show you my schedule. Feel bad for me:
  1. Business Statistics: I tried taking this class sophomore year, but the professor was dreadful, and I dropped it hoping maybe another professor would come along and teach it. Prayed for that! Never happened. So, here I am at the last hour taking it. I am thrilled! 
  2. Old Testament: Ricky and I took Christian Theology with this same professor a couple semesters back and absolutely loved him! He thoroughly enjoys his job, and it made me want to be there and learn from him. He was so sweet, too! Ricky and I both needed another class to take for just the extra credit hours (to meet the graduation required amount), so we jumped on the chance to take another class taught by him. He loved us together too, and even catches up with us when we see him around town. I am just excited about taking with Ricky, too!
  3. Entrepreneurship: This is an upper level management class I have to take where you create your own business, and your grade for the class relies on how well your particular business thrives. How nerve-racking is that? Well, the good thing is I heard the professor is super sweet, so hopefully she will be willing to work with me and enjoy my frequent visits to her office. I have to take a class in the spring with her as well, so I must get her to like me! 
  4. Intro to Chemistry: Yuck!! I am not excited about this class. I hate science, and I hate lab. You will most likely here me complain about this class a lot this semester. And yes, it is an intro class, so that better be in my favor! But you never know. I have heard the professor is fairly new and easy. Please be true!
  5. Organizational Behavior: This is another upper level management course I have to take. This one is taught by my adviser (YES!) and is also a writing intensive class. You have to take two types of writing intensive courses in order to graduate from the business school, and this is my first one. The second one I will take will be in the spring with the Entrepreneurship professor. I heard it is a lot of writing, but mostly casual like journal entries and such. I love the way my adviser teaches too, so I know I will be fine!
  6. Health Topics: This is my last health education class I have to take in order to finish with that part of my general education classes. I took bowling and survey of wellness in past semesters as the other requirements, and those were easyyyyy! This class is more classroom based while the other classes I took were more activity based. Thankfully, this is my only 8AM class, but it also only half of the full semester.
Whew! Just writing about all these classes stresses me out, and it hasn't even started! Luckily, I am ready. I have my supplies (my favorite thing to buy!) and my books. Call me a loser, but I am always prepared and don't look ridiculous when trying to find excuses to tell the professor.

And this past Friday, I completed a super duper important application!
Graduation Application, done! I can't believe this is the last year. Bring it on!
