Really Exicted

I'm not sure whether Blogger is featuring my snippets or people have happened across my page on accident but I was excited to see so many people take an interest in little ol' me. I will post new subjects / debates later right now I'm too frustrated that I'm paying $367 to see and work on my blog while professor behind me lectures on something I took the quiz on without studying and got a 100%. On the mean while I read Dance with Dragons first few chapters on a preview on Kindle and I'm super excited for it to come out in paperback which isn't until the end of May. That's what I get for wanting the entire series in the same cover. I bought the other four in the box set because I had read them through the library at school. Which is a plus side to UNL that I don't think a lot of colleges have, they have established a relationship with the surrounding schools and libraries to trade and loan books with eachother so students and teachers have a greater pool of access. I know I have used it over 50 times since I started going to school here 2 falls ago and they haven't failed me yet.

pointless classes

I am going to school to become an educator in foreign language with a focus on Spanish why in the world do I need to pay over $400/each for astrology, turf management, and history of jazz classes. I get the general purpose is being a well rounded person entering the work force but I think my time and money would be better served working with native speakers and first generation students. I have to pay for and sit through 14+ 'general education' classes like the aforementioned. I understand that sometimes students go into college being undecided or that they take a few biology classes and decide that being a doctor isn't for them but I am not one of those students. I have known what I want to be since I was a little kid helping my siblings with their homework and teaching them mine to help myself understand my work better. All around I think college should be a tool for me to better myself not waste 6 hours of my time a week listening to a teacher lecture about how corn grows when I live in NEBRASKA. I love the college in the broad sense but there is a lot wrong with it. Number one: I hate the two separate campuses. On the up side the college does provide you with a free bus pass for city buses so you can get around. Number two: The way they have financial aid set up is aggravating. They always have students backed up in line asking for help because it is so confusing and expensive but that's another complaint all together. Number three: The parking is far too few and far too expensive. It's almost $500 a academic year to park anywhere near campus or you have to pay a meter and risk getting a ticket if you are a few minutes late.      

Needs a change

Is it worth staying?

I am having real trouble at home with the father of my daughter. He is really lazy and has been out of a job since October. One second he is really loving and caring like a week ago I fell in the street while going to buy a soda and he was really concerned. But other days all he does is sit on the xbox while I beg my parents (whom we have to live with) to watch my one year old while I try to do homework. How to I break it off correctly? I don't want Emma to lose her father because I grew up without one until my mother got remarried in 2004. This is really troubling me and affecting other parts of my life mainly my relationships with my daughter and my parents.

Round 2

First few days back at school

      You would think my energetic passion to pull up my gpa and further my education would have lasted longer. Nope the thing I've got most excited about is creating my google site for my teach class. 

       I did finish reading The Earl's inconvenient Wife by Ruth Ann Nordin. I found myself reexamining everything I thought about arranged marriages. I also found out that Elizabeth: the disinherited daughter by Elizabeth Arnold Hitchcock is not about Queen Elizabeth I like kindle led me to believe. Also my new favorite 'go to' book is Her Dark Angel by Felicity Heaton. The passion leaped off the pages. As of moments ago I started reading The Seven Devils by Sara Danvers and I haven't been disappointed so far. 

     I will post more later on for now I am off to a Spanish class where I can't understand or hear the teacher. That is all.
