Ohmygee! When did life get busy??

I haven't posted in a long while because, well, I haven't found time to! All I have to say about the reflection of that is "DAMN!"

I started a new job, which took up Monday - Friday, 5:30 (that's a.m.) until 2:00 (that's p.m.). It's shift work, but unfortunately I was, for a long time, one of two people who could open. Now I'm one of four *phew!*  and I won't be expected to open as often. Especially since I'm not available as much.

And I finished two courses. And I have bragging rights when I say I finished with honors (again). So now I'm finally taking the sign language interpreter program. It's a blended format program, which essentially means there is some face-to-face instruction and some online components to some courses. All courses have face-to-face time, just some have an online aspect. Which essentially means we have a lot of discussion and information thrown at us while we're in class, then we go home and look online to have more (typed) discussion and information and assignments thrown at us. So, yeah. It's a lot of work. It requires a lot of attention. Which is why I'm on the internet, blogging. Good times!

Actually, the course will be great, so long as we (the students) support each other. It's a small class of 14 women (that's right, all women) who vary in age and experience. So. It'll be good :) All smiles all around! And I was quite lucky with the text books: I saved about $200 because a friend who took the program last year let me borrow his books *phew number 2!*

So it all is going well. So far. I just have anxiety about my organizational skills. Or lack thereof. God bless Starbucks for providing free coffee & awesome co-workers.

Something odd: You know how most college courses span over two to four months? Well, we are taking in an entire course load/instruction in one week. This is one of the courses with an online component. Gah!

So... GAH! I've been busy, but I do want to find more time to update this thing, even just for myself & my sanity.

Now, to read Critical Thinking: Tools for taking charge of your learning and your life. You think I'll find procrastinating as a positive thing in there?
