Where did Summer go?

Where has the time gone? No wait; where has my summer gone? Funny isn't it, how it seems to take forever to get here and then, poof, it's almost over! I cannot believe that it is already July and that I’ll be back at CNA starting a new semester soon. Ah, July in Carbonear. A time for long sleeves and umbrellas, of days spend indoors, or nights huddled around a campfire. Summer, it seems, has gone missing, and the prime suspects are spring and fall. The warmest season has made appearances in places, like Ontario and Nova Scotia. But it's boycotting Newfoundland.""I think the worst is the days are just counting down and we're just not seeing any summer weather." realize my whole summer was spent waiting instead of doing. I don’t do well when it’s hot. I wanted cooler days so I can do the things I enjoy. The older I get, the faster time goes. Sometimes it whizzes by as I wait for energy to get going. I should have cleaned house and done other inside work while it was hot outside. Forget the wiser part. Getting older comes way too soon and youth is gone before you know it! Another reason the time has flown by is because I got a part-time job at the local Supermarket (Powell’s) to help subsidy this poor student.  About school I got my marks for semester 3 had made the Honor Society (3.6 GPA). Wahoo!!! I hope to maintain that!!! So Pat & Shola go easy on me… (Hey Shola you made the blog…lol). I am sad to see summer end but also excited about going back to school some might think it’s boring or hard, but it’s actually can be lots of fun."  So it seems that fall is fast approaching so I urge you all to take advantage of the remaining summer and do something ...anything. Enjoy! Also a reminder  that the Carbonear Car  Show & Shine will be going on this weekend  August 5 ,6 & 7th, 2011 @ Paddy's Garden... Come out & support the Special Oyympics...

I'm definately not a High Tech Blogger

  So bloggers just to let you know I survived my first term of College. Actually got a 79.2 average.... in your face non believers and I only had one night involving books and breezers. Not bad for after being out of school for twenty years.  I find this term is filled with a lot of dry but necessary material.... BORING!!!  But I am was enjoying Media class until Pat ( our Instructor) informed me that I would have to do an impromptu speech... damn I hate those. We had to list 5 topics and and he randomly selected students to give their speeches.  My five topics were: 1. Scrabble, 2. Blogging, 3. Reading trashy romance novels, 4. Crossword puzzles and 5. Picture taking. Pretty easy topics huh... Not!! I rehearsed each topic in my head so that I had at least some key points to review but oh no could my brain handle that... got in front of the class and my brain goes to mush and all rational thought was out the door . Here I was in front of the class feeling like a blubbering idiot .My topic was Blogging which although I enjoy I still haven't got an effing clue as to what I am doing here. This blog is a testament  to that. I'm sure there are ways to add fancy text and cool graphics but I don't know how and I won't pretend to. Whether I'm doing it right or not I enjoy it so you can kiss my " Rebel Slut _ Prom Queen " Non- Techno ass if you don't agree...LOl!

College Life

College of  the North Atlantic Carbonear Campus

I started my first year of college last week.  I will be attending the local college here in Carbonear. I guess my first semester is going to be a lot of adjusting, meeting people and settling in. I am taking Community Studies (2yrs)  with my focus being on the Women's Issues portion of the Program.I think my biggest challenge will be getting into a routine of studying after being out of the school curriculum  for 21 years( something I didn't do much of in High school) . I have made so many new friends ~! There are 32 in our class I'm sure after the 2 yrs are up I will get to know each one more. The Sociology and Psychology courses so far seem to be very interesting and intimidating . I don't know whether to be excited or terrrified.I truly wasn't sure about going back to school. It seemed the God of Divine Intervention was stepping in wherever he could. I was a week behind the Registration deadline for applications (never had the money) Then my acceptance letter did not arrive when I knew others were out.Apparently I did not send in my ROC (thought it was to be passed in September...wrong!) Ok now its time to see a  counceller  to finalize my application (which goes to HRLE) for funding... she gone on holidays. After a little bit of panic her friendly staff help me out... So my application goes to HRLE... they have looked over my application and have decided to fund me but I have to pay x amount of dollars... now I knew I had to make a contribution but the quoted price ended up being abit more than I expected but here's the kicker I had one day to decided if I would accept the offer or not because you guessed it she was going on holidays. Every where  I turned it seemed the God of Divine Intervention was saying... "don't do this". But as my career counceller pointed out  " If you want something bad enough..fight for it" As you can guess I did accept the proposal and so far I am enjoying college life but that may change after my first exam. Lol!
