First, I am sorry that I have been slacking on my blogging. School started...enough said! Actually I am not as busy as I would have expected. I actually finished my keyboarding class the first day of school. I had to take a five minute timed typing test and I had to pass with 45wpm and less then 10 errors. I passed with 69wpm and 2 errors. Now I don't have to buy the book and do all the assignments! I was really happy when I saw my results :) Now I just have 3 classes this semester: Intro to LAN Networking, Exploring Multimedia Applications, and Advanced Word Processing. My LAN class I new would be easy because I have the same professor I had last semester for the prereq class. I knew how he taught his class and the last one I got almost 100% in. So, I knew what to expect. I wasn't sure how my Multimedia class was going to be, but it seems pretty easy so far. And we only have one test, the final. We mainly have class participation points. So that's pretty cool. Then my Word class is online, so I figured we would have a lot of assignments and test, but nope! He has us do the assignment to prepare us for the test, but we don't turn it in. And the assignments take about an hour to do total, and there are only 5 tests I think, so I am not afraid about that class either. My goal this semester is to get a 4.0 since all the classes are pretty easy. We shall see! :)
Another exciting thing that happened this week was finding out I can waive my practicum (which is like an internship if you didn't know). I talked to the professor who is over it and asked her what I need to do and she asked me my work experience. I told her I have been an office manager for almost 5 years and she said with my experience I could probably waive it. All I have to do is write her a letter stating everything I do at work and then she will present it to the department and they will decide if I can waive it. She seemed pretty confident that I would be able to. That would be so nice because that way I won't have another job and I will only have two classes next semester then I'm done! Now I just need to write the letter. I am a little afraid though because not all my classes have helped me in my job. I mainly work with Quickbooks and they don't have a class on that. I do make spreadsheets, and tables, and my accounting class helped, but I am afraid they will think that's not enough. I guess I will just write it and see what happens! Ü

Oh my gosh I TOTALLY understand!!!!!! I CONSTANTLY have people who scream at me because they feel they have the authority to! They feel that their problem is the city's fault because they have no one else to blame. It drives me CRAZY!! I don't know why people think that if they are rude to you that they will get things done quicker or easier. When people are rude to me, I usually move more slowly and do a more sloppy job. Why do something nice who is being a jerk to you?! Oh I SO totally understand!
