Wow so it's been a while again...

Lets see.. In the spring my classes went o.k. I hated my one class though because the teacher made me feel stupid because I could not write as good as the rest of the class. I did bad in that class, but oh well. Over the summer I took 4 classes. Which is not bad because it was 10 credits. In the first session, I took a Human Preformance class for elementary education/physical education majors and that was alot of fun. I got to learn some games and just learn about different things. I also took a diversity class and that was alot of work. I did some volunteering with MRCI. MRCI has mentally handicapped adults in their place and they do some easy jobs. I helped out with feeding the adults in the room and their work. When we worked we put together the boxes of Christmas cards that have the same sayings in them. It was a lot of fun. I really got to know the 15 people in the room well.

Second session I took Statistics 154, which you would like to think would be easy, but it was not. It was alot of work. I really did not like that class. It was stupid. Another class I took was a class on how to do powerpoints, webquests, and other things teachers would have to do in the classroom. The only thing that sucked about that class is that we had to do it all on mac's because they are coming back into the schools. But oh well.

This summer flew by really fast. I got to see Susan a couple of times. Which was good, but I wish I could have visited with her longer. I was back in Rochester a couple of times, one was for a funeral of a guy 2 years younger then me. He was hit by a car and killed. It was hard to go to his memorial because I became good friends with him and I also knew his older brother.

This last week (Aug. 19-26) I was out in Montana. I took a vacation with my mom and dad. We met up with some if my dad's brothers from Washington. I had a blast. I got to spend some much needed time with my one cousin. I really wish that we lived closer together. He is like an older brother to me and I can go and talk to him whenever I need to. I might be going out to Washington next summer to spend some time with him. I want to get to know him more in his own setting.

Well I suppose it is getting late. Just thought I would update quickly.

Oh yeah, Classes started on Monday. So far they are not that bad, but I feel stupid with my math homework. I have to remember how to do algebra crap that I did like 4 years ago. Oh well.. Hopefully I will update more.. that is if I can remember my sign in and password.

Yay for updating your blog!
I just want you to know that I will be checking blogs more often in Scotland, since I won't be able to talk to people on the phone or see them on AIM as much (I assume, with the time difference, it will be less likely).

Anyway, hope your classes continue to go ok. =)

This is me checking your blog. No updates. I guess I'll go... find some haggis or booze... or whatever it is we do here in Scotland.
