MJ Update - Summer Registration & Is Spring Over Yet?

[Guest guest]

Sorry for the delay in updating again…hopefully, I will get back to weekly,

but don’t hold me to that!

See, I already failed in updating. My schedule is easier, but I just can’t

seem to get it together. This quarter I am more tired than normal. Sigh!

Classes are going okay. I have a biology test Friday and boy, do we have to

know a lot of stuff. English is fine, I did watched Brokeback Mountain over the

weekend and liked it (1 out of 3 so far), LOL!! I have to start writing my

major paper for next week. Of course, I picked a topic that has no articles

written about it, so I have to “wing itâ€. My topic is “Disabled in Disney

World: Male Monster to Hero!†History is going fine…got an A without even

putting forth an effort, LOL!! Rehab, is just rehab. We went on our group

facility visit last week. The facility was wonderful, but I was offended (what

else is new!). First of all, the wheelchair door button worked somewhat, you

pushed the button and then had to turn the door handle and push. Gee, very

helpful, don’t ya think. Then, the special ed teacher patted my arm and said

in that sweet sappy voice, “Oh, it is so great to see you sweetie!!†Gag!!

Then a few people we met on our tour asked if I was the new client? UGH!! We

were introduced as State students to everyone and they had the nerve to

ask me. I will stop there, makes me mad, I of course, wrote that in my paper

due today. LOL!!

Last weekend, we stayed home and worked on homework. made another

blanket for a boy from New Hampshire which makes 381!! My friend Beth P and I

are setting up a mini-mini gathering in Cincinnati for June…just to get

together to hang out. I also bought a new shirt that suits me perfectly. The

shirt says, “Stop me before I volunteer again!!â€

I also got a note last week that I was nominated for the National Society of

Collegiate Scholars. I will be inducted in October!

This morning, I registered for summer classes. I am taking 12 hours of class in

session A (I will have class for 5 weeks). Classes start June 11th and end July

12th. Talk about cram city…LOL! I am taking Essentials of Public Address,

Comparative Nonwestern Cultures: Music, and Music in Western Culture. No, I

haven’t decided to take up music, both are required as Gen Ed classes. The

best part of these three classes is that they are all on-line web classes. I

don’t have to “get up†at any specific time and don’t necessarily have

to leave my cozy bed if I don’t want to. A true slacker I have become!!!

On a sad note, I received a note that one of my little friends, Kalair, passed

away yesterday morning. Please keep Kalair’s family in your thoughts and

prayers. I had the privilege of meeting Kalair twice and she was such a true

princess. I will miss her presence but will never forget her.

..

Please keep my friends in your prayers too. K was released from the

hospital and is home and doing better, Madison R is sick as is Dani P and

H. A family we were talking to there daughter, Kaylie, passed away over

the weekend, so keep them in your thoughts too. More prayers to Kimi who lost

her fiancée, , recently. Also prayers to all the new families who are just

starting with SMA, those that are in the hospital, and everyone else who needs

some extra thoughts.

Big hugs to all:

MJ

It doesn't matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried

it before; it's important to realize that whatever you're doing, it's your first

attempt at it. ~ Wally Amos
