Plans Change

Here comes May and while I don't see any employment plans on the horizon, we're doing better then I expected and I haven't even stressed about it all yet. That's a first. I think we can make it through the summer with you concentrating on school and reevaluate the work issue come August.

I really, truly hope you get into the Physiology class. It will help you get where you want to be quicker and help you feel like you're accomplishing something, plus you really like your teacher. I know it will be grueling and most of your days will be spend studying when not in class, but you can do it!

Forgotten Post

I forgot to ever post that although you getting laid off, in Feb, was a bit nerve wracking, maybe it was a blessing in disguise. The home owner was a jerk and draining you emotionally and physically. Concentrate on school and get through this semester with your sights set on FT employment again come May.

Semester from ?!?

I would say hell, but I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg. You are quite stressed about these two classes and I'm hoping once they're done that you won't be so grumpy. I know you're sick of Math but it will be over soon. You're doing great and getting B's in both these classes even though you feel like your doing horrible. We've already discussed you getting into a better study routine, now we just need to get it into place so you don't feel like your studying all day every day, which just isn't the case.

I'm frustrated, you're frustrated and it's taking a toll on us. Let's work together to fix it.

Get Back to Work :)

Well tomorrow you start your next semester. I wish you much luck and you know you have all of my support. Continue to look at all that you have accomplished and not what you have left, but keep trekking forward!

Home

I just have to say, that as much as I enjoy having you home, it's really weird to me for you to be home. For the last year you've been going to school or recovering from surgery. I'm now use to being able to run an errand after I pick up J, but now you're waiting at home for us. It's nice, just weird. I know in two weeks you'll be gone 4 days a week again, so I'm glad you're here while you can be.

Final Grades

We are still waiting for the grades on the finals, but we do know that Ryan got B's in both classes this semester, English and Beginning Algebra. Good job sweetie! Now it's on to Intermediate Algebra which is your last math class and Biology, your first of many science classes. I hope these two classes plus working FT is not too much of a strain, but I have faith in you.

Essay

So this is your third essay that you are suppose to have written for your first, of two, English classes. Every time you have had weeks to complete the rough draft to bring in for peer review, and both times you have waited until an hour before class. Can someone say Procrastination? Please start applying yourself now. For your grades and my sanity!
