So first of all, lets answer my “5 Lies and 1 Truth” blog last week. Several of you got it correct than I DO have my A.S. degree. I finished that up in 2009 for Fire Technology. Everything else would be true if I tweaked a word or two.
This week’s blog topic seems to be a result from a blog I posted a few weeks ago about too much homework. Because I posted my feelings about the work load from this semester last week, I will answer the other questions. So what do I like about this semester? There are actually several good things about this semester. The new friends I have made are great. In most of the general education classes I take, I don’t talk to many people because we don’t seem to have the same interests so it’s hard to keep talking to them. The English class seems like one big family of friends. Everyone seems to talk to everyone which is nice. My other classes seem to be too anti social for my taste. Another good thing is my public speaking skills have improved a lot because of my speech class.
So what is bugging me about this semester besides the work load? I would have to say teachers that cancel class without telling us or sending an email to the students saying there won’t be class 30 minutes before class begins. Then the next day they say, “Well I sent an email. You need to check you email.” I am coming from Simi Valley so I don’t have time to check my email before school. I get up, get ready, and come to class. A 24-hour notice would be nice. It makes me want to punch those teachers in the face when they say things like that. Anyways, that’s the other thing that is bothering me a lot this semester.
So what keeps me motivated even though this is a tough semester? I would have to say that I keep telling myself it’s my last here at OC. I also think of each day that ends, is one more day done of this semester. We are basically at the start of the home stretch. Finals use to bother me but now I look forward to them because it’s the end of that class for good. I know once I walk out after the final I am done. After this semester I am either going through the fire academy or looking for a bigger and better EMT job in Los Angeles.
So that is what I like about this semester, what bothers me about it, and what keeps me motivated. If people think we still have a longs ways to go, think of it this way, we are 11 weeks down and have 6 left including finals.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
