[Guest guest]

Hi, MJ. How's it going this week? I'm glad your first week went well.

Well, almost a full week has gone by and I have survived my first week of

classes. Four days of classes and it went well. Tuesday and Thursday are my

longest days, but I survived. I just don't have a lot of time during the week

to do updates, so you will have to wait until the weekends.

Tuesday's classes went pretty quickly. I met all my teachers and they are

all pretty good. My sociology class does not have a final at all, just 3 unit

tests and a paper every week and one project. Not too bad. Precalculus is

okay. Mostly review but hopefully, it will be an easy class. We have 12

quizzes, 3 tests and a final. This class is my biggest, there are maybe 35 kids

in it. Tuesday afternoon, I have Service and Society Seminar...and I can

tell you right now, it will be my favorite. We do service projects, watch

movies, and talk. How cool is that?! We have to do a journal entry every week

about what we did in class on Tuesday. Don't you wish, every class would be

this cool!!! LOL!! After Seminar, I have 15 minutes to get to my next class,

on the other side of the campus. It is Psychology. It is an okay class,

but mostly lecture. has trouble staying awake for this class. She

sits down and the professor starts talking and she starts to nod off - so I have

to keep prodding her awake. I give her Pepsi so she stays awake. Tuesday's

start at 8:30am and end at 6pm. I am up at 6:30am, hard to believe...but I

am ready for bed by 10pm. Thursday classes are the same, except no Seminar

class. Still makes for a long day though.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I also have precalculus class...we meet 5 days

a week. Thankfully, I only have one class those days, so I can spend time

during the day doing homework. I have done 3 papers and read 4 chapters for

my classes, had a quiz, and did lots of homework for precalculus.

Okay, that is the schedule stuff. Now, onto the other stuff....Wednesday,

the Medicine Shop came down and replaced my bed...yes, in less than a week, my

bed quit working. It is all fixed and works great. My water delivery, and

CaTs (the Internet people) appointment never showed up, so I had no water

and no working internet connection!! SIGH!!! I did receive my mailbox key,

only to find that it wouldn't open my mailbox...so there sat my mail even

longer! Thursday afternoon, I got back from my 2 morning classes to find my

water

delivery in the hallway..poor had to haul all that water in and set

it up. Friday, I had an appointment with Dr. Mueller at Children's in

Dayton...only about 9 miles away. It went well and I sounded good. I have major

post nasal drip, but are sure hoping it stays where it belongs and out of my

lungs. After my appointment, we went to Meijers to get groceries again. Funny

story of the week...At the store we had to buy a new fan, 's was dying

quickly or slowly, depends on how you look at it...'s old desk top fan

would take 30 minutes or more to turn on. You would turn it on and it would

work up to spinning. So, at the store we looked for a new fan...of course,

being the end of the season, there weren't many small desk top fans to choose

from, so we had to get the only desk top fan they had...would you believe it

was a glow in the dark fan...thankfully, the blades haven't glowed yet...I

think it would be freaky to see the fan blades spinning all night long!

Yesterday, we went to Urbana to visit grandma again and Aunt Jill and the

boys. Uncle Chris's family came out for dinner too, so I saw the whole family!

It is strange to be here in the fall, it is the first time I have been in

Ohio in the fall and it just seems so strange. We did laundry at grandma's

yesterday so everything is clean.

In case you were wondering, we ate on campus twice this week. Chick Fil'A

and also the sub sandwich place on campus. Both were good. Friday night

after groceries, we stopped at Arby's for their loaded potato

bites...delicious!!!

Last night we finally got our mailbox key and it works!! WOOHOO!!! I also

got my checks and ATM card (but no PIN number yet). We also we to have gotten

PCA keys (sent us 5) and a deadbolt remote. We got those, but they don't

work. The keys fit into the door, but won't turn. SIGH!!! Big bummer. Oh,

well, we can get into the mailbox, so for now I'm happy.

Tomorrow, after class, I have an appt at the bank and at the

Engineering/Computer Science office. Plus, CaTs, the computer people, are to be

coming to

get me set up so I no longer have to use dial up!! Cross your fingers!!!

Until next weekend, hugs and prayers for all my friends who are under the

weather. Have a great week everyone.

" People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;

Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;

Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;

Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;

Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;

Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;

Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;

Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;

Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway. " ~Mother
