Finished?!?

Yep, after at least 24 hours of sporadic work, I think I finally completed my 10-page research paper.  Don’t think I told you what it was on… free college education in the US.  I argued the paper in favor of it, even though the more I got into it, the more I think it won’t fix the problems with the student debt crisis or the rising cost of higher education.  But let’s not go there right now, my brain is mush as far as that topic is considered!!

Shout out to Jan, Elaine and Jeanette for all your help with editing BTW.

Gave a persuasive speech on cancelling your cable or satellite subscription in oral comm this week.  Aced it! Oh yeah 🙂

Enough about school!

But not much else is going on!  Fallen behind a few days with the Bible in 90 days program.  I should be able to catch up this week, I hope.  If not, I’m not giving up, just reading what I can, when I can.

I did lose 9 pounds during the Advocare 24-Day Challenge!  About 5 inches too, all without exercise.  I’m doing another 14 days on the program now with working out, will post those results later.

That’s about all for now, later!

 

Beginning of June 2014

Hard to believe it’s June already, but don’t we say something like that every month?  Time does seem to be flying by.

BIG NEWS!!!  My brother got engaged!!  He’s been with the girl for 15 years!  So happy for them.  Not sure when the wedding will be though, but I am in it.  I’ll be on my brother’s side, she has a brother who will be on her side.  Switching things up a little 🙂  Can’t wait!

I start classes at the community college this week!  Doing Eng 102 (online) and Oral Comm (on campus) this summer.  Then on Aug 18th, I start with Liberty (online).  If I stick to my plan, I should graduate either Spring or Summer 2016.  It’s going to be a lot of work, but I’m sure I can handle it all!  This Fall I’m taking Philosophy, Old Testament Survey, Evangelism and Physical Science, along with an online literacy course.  Whoa!

I started a challenge yesterday, I’m going to attempt to read through the Bible in 90 days.  I’ve tried to in the past and didn’t make it very far.  This time I’m doing it as part of a challenge our pastor put out there yesterday.  So I have people doing it with me. 

Can’t talk about it too much yet, but I might know where I’m going for a mission trip in 2015.  Possibly to a Muslim nation!  I don’t have a lot of details just yet, but I’ll keep y’all posted!

Next Monday I’ll start another challenge too!  I’m doing the Advocare 24-Day Challenge.  I’ll keep y’all posted on my progress.  Some friends of mine sell it and have had great results, so I figure I’ll give it a try.  More on that later, I’m still trying to figure it all out myself!

Just wanted to put a quick update out there.  Obviously things are about to get crazy busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂
