Wow, that was a fast semester....

Although it didn't seem like it at times, I can't believe how fast this semester went. Sure, the bad winter really made me question why I wanted to go out every night for classes, but I'm glad I did now. The blowing and drifting snow and black ice on Hwy 28 all seem like a distant memory now. So, what did I learn? Well, in my math class I got a really good refresher of algebra and now move on to 105 and hope that I can cope with that. In my English class I learned several techniques I hope will make the rest of college and my writing life beyond competent and coherent.

I have many more semesters to go through before I'm done, and going part time doesn't help either, but I hope the rest of them go as quickly as this one did. I'm guessing that it's because I enjoyed the classes as the reason why it seemed to go so fast. Yes, I know time is constant and doesn't speed up or slow down depending on our current enjoyment status.

As a non-traditional student, and also having gone to college right out of high school, I can compare the two situations and realize how different I am now than I was back then. However, it seemed to me that when I was in classes way back when, it didn't seem to go as fast. Maybe it's because I had several situations I was dealing with that made college not a priority in my life then. Much to my regret now, but I'm working on correcting that.

So, this is my last blog for school, and I'm not sure if I will continue to blog. Well, maybe not every week. I do like the format and a few years ago my husband had suggested to me that I should start one. I'm not sure if he was just tired of my babbling on at him or if he really thought I'd enjoy it. Maybe both? Anyway, it was fun to pick topics and see what discussions came out of them. I enjoyed reading my classmates blogs too.

So, thanks everyone for reading and leaving comments. I wish you all luck with your future classes and will probably see you around campus.
