Well got my score on test 2 of Biology II and got an A on it too – yeah! This Thursday is the first of 2 lab exams – crossing fingers!! In lab on Thursday I had such a coughing fit I had to run out of the room it was ridiculous how I could not stop to catch my breath and my eyes were running. This flu has been a downer for sure, however I have championed right through it to still get all A’s on my class tests and press on forward. I just took Calculus test 2 and got an A on it – SO I’m feeling MUCH better in general with all my schooling – I feel like I am on track for a 4.0 semester – I have to keep the momentum up – it’s getting close to mid term point – finals are going to be killer – oh and I have my ASL project to do – we’re doing a story this term, a child’s story – I have to figure which one I want to do soon and start practicing it!! I love ASL – it’s so enjoyable to be able to enter the Deaf world. Oh sure if you learn a foreign language you can now communicate with others that speak that language – but Deaf people have their own culture almost like their own world and I truly feel blessed to be allowed entry into it. Ok… time to go make dinner…

I received a letter in the mail today that I was granted my experiential credit which accelerated the CGS1100 (Intro to Microcomputers) course – So I can graduate now this spring! I’m guessing my dossier of work that I submitted was enough proof to convince them that I certainly can (and do) operate a personal computer well. I’m SO happy now!!! Isn’t it amazing what little things thrill me these days?! I had my 2nd Biology II exam on Tuesday – no clue yet how I did – but I’m feeling like I got an A on this one too, I’ll know next week. I just received my textbook for American Government course – so I’ll be able to pick up the pace there quite a bit too now. Somehow I injured my wrist over the weekend and it’s just been horrible trying to write notes in class (a must for me) and typing forget – owie! It’s making it awfully difficult to enjoy my brand new computer – I went ahead and got a 24″ Flat Panel Apple iMac – it’s gorgeous to say the least – I plunked Jimmy’s (Siberian Lynx) photo on there and in short – it’s now breathtaking! If it’s possible to fall in love with a material object this computer’s going to be it – it’s definitely got the “wow” affect.

I decided I didn’t have enough to do with American Sign Language, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology and Calculus – SO I signed up for the American Federal Government course today. I was so blessed that the Professor and FCCJ allowed me to enroll and get into the course. It’s an 8 week accelerated course which truly looks like a lot of fun. It will be interesting with the current political climate of the elections/primaries taking place right now to be in a government course. SO it looks like I will be getting my AA degree sooner than expected – which will be nice, I’m looking forward to it! I am taking 24 credits this semester, not an easy task by any means – I am shy one course – Intro to Microcomputers – however I put in for experiential credit – since I’ve been using a computer and basically all the software/business applications one can imagine to both run a business as well as create a web site for MANY years, anyone that knows me will attest to my computer proficiency – so I pray I am granted the credit so that I may actually graduate SFCC this semester with my son and we take our AA degrees on to university together… stay tuned for the decision and outcome.

Not that I’m a huge football fan – but being a native New Yorker what can I say – my team won!  ;-)
