So, I finished the Spring 08' semester last week and today was my first day of summer semester. I have some fun classes including a communications class. I walked into class a bit late due to the class being clear across campus from the previous class and the professor was singing...singing. We all sat there laughing as he continued throughout (almost the whole) class period of 2 hrs singing different phrases, the syllabus etc. It was entertaining to say the least. I think it might be one of my favorite classes. I don't think I fear public speaking as much as he says most do but we will see. We have eight or so speeches to give this semester beginning with one in two days. It is supposed to be my funeral eulogy in third person. Interesting, I wonder if we can make things up lol. I think I will rock that one but other than that I haven't looked forward to the rest of the speeches.
So, I am using Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 for my notes in class this semester. I have a hard time keeping track of the millions of papers I receive from classes so I think that will be a lot easier. As for professors giving out paper I really believe they should just go with the 'go green' theme at UVU and literally go green and have everything posted electronically. There is no reason for such a waste of paper. I believe it comes from the fact that most of the professors are older and do not realize that the computer and the technology it brings is their friend, not foe.
Micah is getting big. He is exactly 3 years, 6 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days old. He is a great kid and helps around the house a lot. He also likes to be a vegetable and watch dvd's or play outside for hours on end. It can get pretty cold out there when I am out there with him. He is doing really well with the bedtime of 8pm but sometimes I find it hard to motivate myself to put him to bed at that time...he kind of freaks out at first but by the time he gets his pj's and blankie he goes right to sleep.
My friends, Jackie & Dujuan, just had their precious bundle of joy April 28, 2008 I believe at 5:56am or so. He was 8 lbs 5 oz and 21 inches long (if I am remembering correctly) He is just about the same size as Micah (8lbs 2oz) and looks sooooo darling all wrapped like a burrito in his hospital blanket. Jackie is looking beautiful and I know her and Dujuan are going to have a blast with this little one. They have waited a long time for this and definitely deserve it.
My dating life...well, I don't know how to describe it. When it is good it is good. Right now it has kind of picked up but I am thinking I need another break. I am tired of going on endless dates and ending up back in the same place. Don't get me wrong, I loved the dates and people that I have met. Most of them have added value to my life but at this point I know school and Micah are my priorities and I haven't found a person that I should focus on and make a priority in my life. I am good with friends for now. Maybe I should stop dating until after law school in 2011...lol. People always ask why haven't I gotten remarried yet...I think it is because I am okay with being single, being independent, and I love myself for who I am and not for who I am married to. Anyways, this could probably go on for awhile but I need to catch some zzz's before I need to wake up.
