First week

I have made it through the first week of school. Yay! I'm taking 3 online courses. Yes, I like to take online courses cause when I actually have to show up to class, I find myself skipping class so I can be at home, snuggling with Jason. This then turns into failing grades and money wasted. (Now I see why my dad told me no boys or pets while in college.)

I'm taking History 102. This is everything from Reconstruction through today. I've been reading since a week before classes started cause this semester seems to be nothing BUT reading, and my first homework assignment had nothing to do with anything I read! I had to make sure I was reading the right book. Hopefully in the next week or so we'll get going onto the topics in the book.

I am also taking Accounting 220. This is Integrated Accounting for Windows. Even if I was a have to sit in a class and be taught by someone standing in front of me, this wouldn't have happened. This is an online only class. It helps you learn how to use windows, and how to use the programs most accounting firms use. This is my kind of class, because, it's all black and white. NO GRAY AREAS! WOOT!!!

My third class is Business Law. Ugh. Just the sound of it makes me want to cry. The cost of the book, which I already complained about a couple weeks ago, makes me want to cry. Luckily my work pays for books and tuition, so that will be included for my tuition reimbursement. This class is pretty tough. There are a total of 5 ways you can get grades. 25 points for your "Introduction of yourself" and 4 quizzes at 120 points each. There are a total of 565 points you can earn, and if you get 472 or less, you will have to retake the class. My first test I got a 77.5 on. I definitely need to give this class a little more attention.
