School for me is one big worry fest. I go into a routine that most would think is totally uncalled for, but it works for me. and the more I worry, the better I do.
I drop all extra activities, and I get down to the point of studying my head off from the get go. Worrying of course, from day one about the last day. This time it was french and how I was going to talk w/ my upper plate in my mouth and make that darned frnech "r" when it was clearly blocking it. So, i e-mailed the prof, and told him about it. He said that it was alright. whew... that was one worry off my mind.
Now, we have gone through 7 chapters in 4 weeks and I am less confused than I was at day one, or day 13, but still somewhat confused. I'll have to continue my outside reading of french and speaking it aloud to understand it fully.
I've gone and made 700+ notecards of everything in thes 7 chapters and I don't know if they helped any or if I just wasted my time, but I have 4 index card holders w/ nouns, verbs, expressions, and everything else including pronouns, time, etc...
I'm currently 3 days away from the test and well, not feeling all that safe about it. Even though the prof. gave us the test, to study!!! and.... I have typed it out, and printed 10 copies of it for me to practice upon. So far I'm finding my weak points. and starting to remember the sentences that I need to write. The translations... and the answers to questions and how to write them.
so... y am I going around in circles???
I get up at 4, study, drink coffee, get ready, study, go to school, go to class, work at the library, come home and fix supper, change, study, then crash in the recliner until my hubby tells me to go to bed.
On weekends, I study all weekend long. I hardly walk around w/o the french in my hand or get up from the table except to take a break. Like right now, it's 5:15 a.m. and I've already been studying for an hour and drinking coffee and it's break time.
Tomorrow, I will do the same,routine that I normally do.I will go full circle. and then get up the next morning and do it all over again. Hopefully ready to take the test, (oh yeah, did I mention that this is the only test of the course/????) talk about HAHA... NO PRESSURE!!!.
Believe me when I tell you that next weekend, I'm going to party my butt off. Not only because I have finished this course, but because I have done it to the best of my ability w/ a crazy prof.
OOOOH, yeah, didn't tell you about OD. did I? He's a nut. He spends an hour of the class talking about today's events and what's in the news then the last of the class, he spends talking about french class w/ wild tangents of course totally not related in any sort to french. Kinda leaves everything up to you.
But I don't mind his way of teaching, it makes you rely upon yourself a bit more and teaches you to study upon your own. I'm generally always the first in the classroom and the last to leave. I bring dry erase markers to class as there isn't ever one in the room. and well, I take care of the class in my own way. We get things done b4 OD gets there so that when his chat gets over we can get down to business.
This was all Summer I.... I'm taking another 5 week course during summer II, which will be Probability and Statistics. I can only hope that we spend the entire class time on the math, I'll need it. and I don't mind the speed of the course, it's just the blamed homework that is given to us if it isn't. What it is, is a 15 week course knocked down to a 5 week time period that the prof has to speed up and get everything in during 2 hrs a day for 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. with a final.
I do love working at the library. There are some slow days, but then are days that are busy as a bee. We are fixing to start doing inventory. As long as the system is up, I think that we will be able to do it. The library is split into 3 sections... for inventory. This time we're doing the downstairs. there are a great many more books and videos downstairs than upstairs, but I don't mind, just as long as they can keep me busy. Esp. during slow days.
I know this is long, I've not been around in a while, but if you want to check out the school I'm going to, go to http://www.uvawise.edu ">http://www.uvawise.edu and see what it has to offer.
I recommend it.
Laterz.
