End of June 2014 #school #Advocare

I’m supposed to be working on my Eng 102 10-page (!) research paper.  But I needed a writing break.  Yeah, I know, it doesn’t make sense, just play along 😉

So, I’m failing Eng 102 😦  I’m getting a 100% in Oral Comm 101 though 🙂  So, lesson there:  I can speak English at a college level, I just can’t write it at a college level.  grrr. 

I’m not against the idea of dropping Eng 102 with a ‘W”.  I figure it’s better than an ‘F’.  I’ll see how I do on this research paper and go from there.  See, here’s the thing, I didn’t realize my writing wasn’t at a Comp 2 level.  We turned in 2 essays before receiving any feedback from the teacher.  Now I’m about 1/2 way through the class and not sure how much I can improve my grade with what we have left.  So, I’m considering dropping the class and starting over at a later date.  Not giving up really, just taking another go at it at a later time.  I took Comp 1 a long time ago, maybe I need to dig those books and notes out and refresh my brain. I might even consider taking the class ‘live’ instead of online, maybe that would help.  Maybe then we’d get more, faster, feedback too.

Anyway, I’m on day 20 of the 24-day Advocare challenge.  Weight is down and my clothes are a tiny bit looser 🙂  I’ll post the numbers after the challenge is over on Tuesday.  So, where do I go from here?  I’m going to stay on some of the products to continue the weight loss.  Glad I signed up as a distributor so I can get the discount 🙂  I’ll also keep eating clean.  I gave up dairy products for the challenge, I’ll probably add them back in my diet – in moderation.  I might get a pizza on day 25 though, just a slice or 2, that’s one of things I’ve been craving like crazy!

Haven’t had time to work on any art, too busy with school.  I need to make time for it though.

I have made some time for leisurely reading.  I’ll have a book review out today or tomorrow (you know, when I need another writing ‘break’!)

I got caught up on the 90-Day Bible reading plan!  I’m now reading about David.  Can’t believe I’ve made it this far, I might actually make it all the way through!  Just in time to start at Liberty on my BS in Religion, where I can read it all again.

I’d better get back to writing and researching… blah! 😉
