2nd week of classes.

I have started my second week of classes this semester. I have to say I am quite bored and sleepy. The classes are still prerequisites to other classes that count towards my  major. This is going to be a very dull semester. When is comes to classes that do not have an interesting lecture or not in a workshop setting. It is very hard for me to stay focused during the class. We will see how things go. It shouldn’t be to bad.

Fall Semester, Oh Joy

Just finished my second day of classes for the semester, I have to say they are pretty boring. I am looking forward to see if I can learn anymore about speaking in public in Spch 101 but thanks to Hempfield, and working there so long; I can say I am a fairly good public speaker as well as communicating one on one.

Every other class is just a bore or a repeat so, I could be either getting something out of it; or getting lots of sleep.

Time will tell.

Eager to get school started..

It seems like I am in the middle of summer and school is gonna start soon, but its only June 2nd. My life and the days of the week have become repetitive. I knew this was gonna somehow happen since I lost the chaotic, insane, and crazy environment that was HSD’s tech dept. My days go so much slower and the weeks grow longer. What i’d give for some crazy, insane, odd IT problems that I could help the team solve. I am so eager to get school underway and focus on something new. It should make time pass so much faster. I have classes selected for the fall at HACC and O am hoping to get accepted to Etown college for the spring of 2010.

I am loking forward to start my degree in Communication at Etown and begin to enjoy writing, public speaking, and new 21st century ways of communication to the public, and communities via: blogs, wikis, website articles, eNewsletters, and using twitter to communicate. I am also very excited to write articles for publications to complete my skills not only to layout magazines, and other publications, but also to write and compile the articles to go with the publications.

What to do….

The past week I have been thinking whether or not I should either continue to work and go to school and finish my Associates degree at HACC or not work at all and take out a student loan and go to school full time finish my associates, and continue and finish my bachelors.

I have been thinking about this the past month or so after leaving Hempfield. I have to say one thing that I have learned over the past 5 years working for the school district I spent 13 years at as a student was how much respect I come to have for education and all my former educators and how much of an influence they all have had on me. If it weren’t for these past 5 years working in the field I most likely would have still been lost and not know what I would want to do when I grew up. Most of you, if not all of you know how much I really didnt like being a student or studying hard at all. That has changed within the last year or so as I have been taking courses in college.

To me its kind of ironic that I wanna have a career in education; integrating technology,  or working in public or community relations in a school whether its in a K-12 public school district or a private or state college.

A new journey has begun for me but I know I have all the support in the world from some of the best educators that I will ever meet in my lifetime.
