Thoughts on the Semester

So it's been a while since I've slapped in an entry into the blog. My apologies for not being able to keep up with all of my friends' blogs as well. MIS is, well, MIS. I haven't had time for anything, but honestly for this semester that has been a good thing. I've been able to catch up with Michael Finley and Daniel a couple of times this semester. This semester... now there is something to think about. When I ventured back to campus from a terrible summer, I promised myself that I would do my best to enjoy my senior year. I wanted to have the most fun that I could possibly cram into an academic year. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do that. At first it started off pretty well. Then I started the MIS classes in full swing, got pressure from a faculty member to work for Lowe's, had to endure a busy time with interviews and projects squeezed in between, and of course the situation at home with my stepfather. One great thing has been the football season we've had. That was a good going away present from the University to me. Now, the dust has started to settle, and I am beginning to wonder if there is any way that I'll enjoy my final semester here at the Capstone. I will be even more busy next semester, and life after that is going to be decided soon. (I'll get into that in the next couple of posts) So, the highlight of my semester was probably the trip to Chicago. The holidays are here, and it will be a bit of a somber time. Hopefully, everything will work out. My grades should be ok, but I am somewhat concerned about my distance ed class that I need to finish before long. I haven't met any new people really, but I did have a wonderful Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving on Thursday. So, all in all it's been a tough semester, but I look forward to deciding what to do with my life which is its own conundrum and to getting on with it.
