Week 3, 4 and 5 down…only 11 more to go!!

So I've been absent from my blog recently...but school picked up and to be honest...the thought of making myself log into a computer or use any more ounces of brainpower...just didn't sound like a good idea. But I have missed my blogging...and I'm ready to spend a little time on here getting caught up!

On the school front here is the latest:

Week 3 brought the Labor Day Holiday and a rescheduling of HR Management. I couldn't make it to the make up night...which I later regreted while I took both a quiz and a midterm in one night. This week also brought me my first of 4 test grades in Business Law. I was informed I "Kick the sh$% out of that test!" by my instructor. Can't beat that! I was proud and very elated to hear this news!

Week 4 brought a quiz and a Mid-term in HR Management as previously mentioned. Though I got done early, I felt like I got run over by a mac-truck at the end of the night. Also, this past week was short b/c my glorious professor of Business Law had a speaking engagement. So we met the next week for the Mid-Term and a lecture over Crimes.

Week 5 just wrapped up and the lecture of Crimes was interesting to say the least. The Mid-Term was a nice surprise. He gave the true/false and multiple choice in class and sent the 5 essay questions home with us. Saaweet! Next week might be a bit of a bear. I have Quiz 2 in HR, Essay Questions due, and Test #3 for Business Law. Wow.

Something's of note about the past couple weeks of school:
Love having Grilled Cheese and Bacon Sandwiches before a long night of class. Wash it down with some ice tea and it's the perfect greasy mess to dissolve any woes about what my little boy was doing at home with my husband while I sat in hours of class!
Torts...both intentional and negligent are highly interesting. At least I'm better prepared if someone decides to sue me for negligence.
Everyone should take some kind of business law. There are so many random pieces of should-be general knowledge and common sense facts out there that link back to something in law it's amazing. Case and point...if someone trespasses on your property...You owe them a duty of care...that they won't get injured on your property. If they do get hurt, they can sue you...AND WIN!
Studying 4 hours for an exam in HR that is 8 chapters worth of material...helped, and rendered me a B on my MidTerm...I'll take it.
True and False Questions are tricky enough on their own. Don't take 8 chapters of material and get tricky with me on what I actually know!
I'm slowly adjusting to the time spent away from my son...and if nothing else it has made me cherish the time we do spend together even more than before.
My husband is a saint...and patient and amazing.
Getting to hold Owen just before he went down to sleep is the best surprise at the end of a long day.
I have two tests, a paper and two finals before I can call this term over...however....I am over one quarter of the way to my December graduation! WOOHOO!
