Summer School

Summer School. A blessing in disguise?

I really am blessed to be able to take summer courses. However, it is difficult to balance class and a social life during the summer. This is difficult even during the school year itself. Trying to balance summer and school is even more challenging.

I am taking Fine Art: Music through OBU. This is a May Term course. It's been good. I get to go one my own time. However, I'm still playing catch-up from the beach. I should be writing a discussion question right now, but I needed a break.

I sign-up for Pulaski Tech classes tomorrow at 8am. Yikes. Haha. First summer term I will be taking Biology and an online history class. Not sure which history class I am going to take yet. Second term I will be taking Physical Science and an online English Literature class. Again, not quite sure what literature class I will be taking.

I keep reminding myself that taking 17hours this summer will allow me to graduate a whole year early and is saving me and my parents money. There are always pros and cons to situations.

I'm quickly learning those pros and cons of summer school.

God Bless,

Blessings

I am so honored that I was able to help the community through the revitalization of Downtown Arkadelphia this semester through the class, Ad-PR.

I am truly so happy with everything that the class accomplished. I don't want to go back to the beginning and start over, but I wish I could keep the class together. We had some challenges that we had to work through, but overall I feel like we really developed a campaign that accomplished everything that was asked of us.

It was so exciting to finally present our presentation today and see the Downtown Arkadelphia Board's reaction. They were so pleased with our campaign. They are taking our baby into their own hands. While it is the end for us, it is the beginning for them.

I cannot wait to see how they take our suggestions and run with them.

It was truly a blessing and it makes me so much more excited about my possible career in public relations!

God Bless,
Kaitie

Last Week Before Finals

It is the last official week of classes. 

What am I doing? I am in the computer lab typing this blog. You see, I am in here helping with a group project. I am actually here just if someone has any questions. Right now, I am of no use so that is why I decided to type this blog.

I don't have anything better to do with my time, right?

I could be sleeping, but you see the last week of school one really doesn't understand the definition of sleep. In fact, one is very lucky if they are in bed by 2am. Maybe I am just crazy. Pretty sure though, all the Mass Communications would agree with me.

Funny story, I skipped class today just so I could take a nap. I literally was not functioning like a normal human being. It was much needed. (Especially since I had work from 4-8pm, a group meeting at 8:30, and now this meeting that begin at 10:45) I love being a college student. Seriously, I really do. I just love sleep too.

It is crazy to think that in a few weeks I will be able to call myself a senior! 

Yes, I should be a technically be a junior next semester, but as I believe I have mentioned before I am graduating a whole year early. Yes, I realize I am completely crazy. I am so excited about everything though. God has opened the doors to allow me to do so. I know that I am headed down the right path.

Well, I think I am going to wrap this up. Honestly, I am too tired to stare at the computer screen any longer. I might go crossed-eyed if I continue to do so.

I hope you are having a wonderful week and getting sleep in which I am lacking.

God Bless,
Kaitie
