Week 10.....

HOLY COW!! I officially hate access...that was the most grueling 3 hours of school yet! OK but I am done with it now. I can get on with enjoying Thanksgiving.

As a whole I have enjoyed this class, I am signed up for my classes for next term, I am still really excited to be in school, but I know by summer I will be ready for a break.

I have been 'Black Friday' shopping online. So I will include a link to a fun site I found:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

WEEK 9

I am so looking forward to thanksgiving! I am having some of my family over, when we all gather there are about 30 or so, just with my siblings and their families and my parents. This year a couple of the siblings are going elsewhere, so it will only be about 15 people or so. Nice small family gathering!

My 10 year old and I (my daughter especially, she can hardly contain herself!) are so excited to go see the New Moon movie that is coming out Friday. I can post this on this blog because my Mom does not read it. We are going to surprise her and all go to it for her birthday. She thinks right now all her kids are too busy to go with her to it, and when you have 7 kids, that is kinda a sad story!

OK so onto schoolwork, this week was really easy, and fun! I worked all evening until about midnight on my game for Microsoft, I just got started and the time flew away from me. I really enjoyed making it, I could see making other presentations in Power Point. The only thing I have left for this class is the interviews, the hardest part is finding a day that I can dump my kids on someone, so I can go interview someone undisturbed! But all in all another successful week in the world of college as an adult (not a young adult!) I also got registered for my classes for the winter term, I really would like to take four but at this time I am signed up for three.

Week 8!!

Nearly done with this term! The PowerPoint quizzes kicked my TAIL! I am not sure how I did on the assignment, I guess I will wait and see. I am not sure why I did so awful on the quizzes, maybe I read the information too late at night. It was one A.M. by the time I finished all four skills reviews. Otherwise, this class has been pretty easy, just a few new things, I didn't know before. I am looking forward to next term, I am curious if all of my classes will be this easy, or if they will get harder as I progress? I expect they will.

So we had an ER visit this week, thankfully it turned out to be MINOR! My four year old was playing with a metal necklace, when she started crying, I was trying to figure out what happened when I saw blood coming out of her ear! I was terrified. I don't deal with my kids getting hurt well at ALL. The necklace is the kind that is a hard metal and goes around your neck without any clasp, so it snaps when you pull on it, I snapped it on my hand and it hurt, so somehow she snapped it in her ear, but thankfully she didn't damage her eardrum!

Week 7

It's week seven! I am I so excited its Wednesday night and I am DONE with school work! Wait I think its Tuesday night, oh well by tomorrow night I will be done! I have to take a test for another class tomorrow, then I will officially be done with my school stuff for the week!! My daughter will be so jealous. She laughs at me when I am still doing school work and she is done for the week! I think I can totally handle more classes next term, provided I can get into any, since today was early registration and I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone to get me signed up for classes. When the advisor who helped me registar for classes this fall told me to start with one or two classes to see if online learning was for me, I was very scared thinking this was going to be REALLY hard. However I have found this to be very easy, now I want to try a Math class, since everyone says those are really hard to do online! May as well see what I am up against for the next however many years it takes me to get a degree!!

This week was fairly simple. I will say Access has been difficult! I have actually had to work through all the samples instead of just skimming them. I am ready to move onto Power point, I think that will be fun!
