Peach Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Me! I am hoping that the clubs will slowly get back to normal. I have one film to watch, a 2 page write-up, and one last meeting with my prof on Tuesday morning and that's it for the summer, baby :) It can't come too soon, either. With the loss of Momn this semester, it's been a strange and difficult one. I"ve been more in 'head down push through mode' than in 'inspired' mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hey look! I thought I was in here by myself. I have 3 weeks left but they are probably going to be the most action packed weeks of my life. BOO! Sounds like the end of your semester will be a breeze. I'm so sorry your Mom's passing has made school so rough. I sometimes wish life would just pause a bit so I can gather myself, but . . . then it wouldn't be life at all, would it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegs Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I seem to be here. I'm visiting a friend with kids and WiFi this week - I'm hoping that's enough to keep DS occupied while I catch up on lectures. I'm really struggling with solo parenting and carving out the time for study. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 This is the first semester in years that I haven't had a big long paper (or two) to write and it's so nice. Usually the last 2 weeks are insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 It’s so crazy! I have a BIG paper to get done by next week. I haven’t even started my research. I spent this past weekend rewriting a group paper that turned out to be a group disaster. I am sure my entire group thinks I’m a huge narcissist, but I’ll take that label if it comes with an A, LOL. Im also trying to squeeze in preparation time for my licensure exam in a couple of weeks. So many balls in the air! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Good luck on the exam! Now see? That right there is why I avoid group projects if there is any way possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm here! Came to check to see if Groups (not Clubs) was working. Semester ends in a few weeks. I'm taking a Philosphy 101 class online due to renovations in full swing here at our new house. It''s been a breeze mainly due to the prof. phoning it in (as the saying goes). This class has basically been self-taught. Read the chapter, answer a question, talk amongst yourselves. . I have 3 weeks to read one chapter (45 pages), answer one discussion question myself and respond to someone else's discussion, then take a 10 question quiz. Yay! After that, I have 2 weeks to prepare for the final (only on 3 chapters) and write a 4 page paper. Gotta love freshman level courses. I hear this prof is a great teacher so I do kind of miss not actually having him, but I needed to be home and available for the contractor. I'm just thankful this course wasn't a dud like some of the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a 100-level philosophy class a couple of years ago, having just finished calculus and discrete math, and it was a nice change to just cruise on through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many balls in the air! Group projects in college are the dumbest thing ever. I'm currently doing a solid 45% of the work for our 5 person team. Another woman is doing another 45%, with the 3 remaining splitting the remaining 10%. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 That's it exactly Sassenach :) Especially when there's no allownace in grading for the slackers. They are too-often an all or nothing thing. I once dropped a class because, on the first day, the prof had people draw a name to partner with and the two were supposed to write a paper together. I changed to another. I'm very particular about academic writing and I'm good at it...I wasn't willing to risk the class grade (or my GPA) on a paper that was half our semester grade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 I passed my licensure exam today! I was sooooo nervous. As soon as I got into my car, I called my Mom and burst into tears. Graduation is next Saturday. I guess I’m really going to have to find a job now. Wow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peach Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I am finally home from the looooong drive home from Charleston SC to MOntana, with a detour through Florida. Got home 2 hours ago and omg I am so glad to be home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Buckin' Longhorn Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 I know the feeling! I’m about 10 hours from home. Spent the week after graduation in Las Vegas. Took a detour to look at the Grand Canyon on the way home. I love a road trip, but looking forward to sleeping in my own bed in Austin tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I really miss Austin sometimes. We stopped at Sonic on the road trip, the first time I've been to one in 17 years, and had limeade. It was sooo good ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve pretty much given up drinking calories, but there was a time when a daily cherry limeade was my JAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
