School starts back on Monday, and while that should fill me with dread, I am SOOOO looking forward to it! I love my family, and I love being home, but I will be really glad to get back down to the business of finishing my undergrad degree. Not to mention that when I'm home I feel the need to organize and clean and boss people around. My kids will probably be glad to send me back to school as well. I rented a bunch of my books this time around because I didn't have the money to get them on my iPad. I get my refund in a couple of weeks, but a lot of professors are real sticklers about you having your books on hand the first day. Seems they should release your money earlier if they are going to be like that. But I don't look forward to lugging around paper books when they could all be snug in my iPad.
I feel like being off for too long throws off my groove. I am afraid that the stuff I've learned starts leaking out of my ears if I don't shove more stuff in there quickly enough. Anyway, I'm off to take the kids to the movies!

Ah, well.
The final grades were posted today, and I got a C in Chemistry 2. It didn't affect my GPA too badly -- still a 3.9. I guess I had hoped that I would keep a 4.0 through the whole 4 years. I certainly didn't expect to get a C, but there it is. It's definitely not a habit I want to get into, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. So now to put it behind me and concentrate on success in fall semester.
School starts back August 15, it just doesn't seem like much of a break. But after fall semester, I will have almost a month off. I'm taking Organic Chemistry 1 (with lab), Research Methods in Biology, Principles of Biology, American Government, Concepts of Fitness, and two Honors classes: Culinary Arts and Historical Venues. The Fitness class is only half the term, and the two honors classes only meet four times each. So it's actually a pretty light semester for me. The American Government class is online, which will be nice.
I'm looking forward to getting started, I've been pretty useless since I've been off. I've had a nasty chest cold and I can't seem to get enough energy to accomplish anything useful. I've done some knitting and I've watched the whole first season and part of the second season of Doctor Who with my kids. It's been very relaxing. I'm sure my hubby would like it better if I'd accomplish something else. :) But hopefully next week I'll feel better and I can attack a few projects in the house.
