Neglect and the job hunt

I'm sorry.  Frankly to those of you who check this on a regular basis, I have been failing you for a few months now.  I have been very infrequent with m postings on here.  I enjoy writing, but I have been pretty busy with the apartment and school.  I'm looking for a job right now, so that's taking up time as well.  The problem is that I need a job that doesn't involve food service and is preferably in an office environment.  I'm not looking for a job that pays under $10 per hour, and it's not going to be something demeaning like standing outside of a business jumping up and down to get peoples' attention.  I have been enjoying fall.  Check out my post about my trip to Cook's Dairy Farm, Ashton's Orchard, and Middleton's Berry Farm.

Book Buy Back

So I'm kind of peeved.  MCC's book buyback program and BookMark's buyback program are really ripping students off.  I bought a used textbook for a business intro class for $100.  For those of you that read me frequently, I love business and this class is really very unnecessary.  I know the material covered by this class inside and out.  Anyway, I tried to sell the book back to the school, but I learned that they will not be buying the book back because they have moved on to the next edition.  I then went to the independent book store across the street from the school called BookMark.  They also would not buy the book back.  I guess that I'm going to have to sell it online.

Summer Classes

So, I'm starting my first summer class in half an hour.  It's Advertising.  Wish me luck.  My summer schedule is:

Advertising and Promotion Management
8AM to 12PM
Monday through Thursday

Business Enterprise
6 PM to 10PM
Tuesday and Thursday

This should turn out to be an interesting summer.  I'll keep readers informed.

My how to presentation

So for speech class, I have to make a presentation on how to do something.  I chose making a blog using Blogger.  I just finished it.  It's interesting.  The PowerPoint is a skeleton of the presentation.  I was going to put the PowerPoint on here, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Speech Class Hell

Why is it that when this one kid comes up to do a presentation, I have to listen to rap music?  It makes my ears bleed every time I have to hear it.  I really want to leave the room, but unfortunately I'll get yelled at.  Blah Blah Blah....  I think that I'm going to go for a jog later today.  This presentation bores me a lot, but luckily it hasn't put me to sleep yet.  :)

Crazy events during Phil-2200

Hey guys.  Well the weirdest thing happened today.  First there was a guy that was asking a bunch of questions about the material.  Apparently it was too much because when we went to a ten minute break, a woman came up to him and just started bitching him out.  It was really crazy.  She just came up to him and started chattering about how he was asking too many questions and how no one else could get a word in edgewise because he was asking too many questions.  The reality as I see it was that he was the only person that was calling the teacher on the fact that my teacher doesn’t seem to know ANYTHING about what he’s trying to ‘teach’ us.  He spent half an hour arguing a point and then just changes his mind immediately when he reads the book and finds out that the author disagrees with his point of view.  Then after explaining why he was wrong, he changes his mind and says that he was right after all and that the book was wrong.  It’s getting so silly.  I became so uncomfortable with her chattering away at this poor guy that I just walked out of the room.  Before I did, everyone went silent because everyone was listening to what this woman was saying.   A friend of mine that was in the class was out getting something from the vending machine.  Before she walked into the room, I pulled her aside and explained to her what was going on and why I was uncomfortable with what was going on.  She decided that she agreed with what the woman was saying and so she wanted to go in the room and bitch him out with her.  I was like do what you want to do, but I’m not involved in this and I’m not going to get involved in this.  I have a feeling that when the class ends, she’s going to bitch him out again, and my friend said that she’ll be right there next to the woman.  :(  This is totally awkward, and there is no way that I’m going to get involved.  I’m typing this in between typing up my notes.  It’s pretty crazy.

First Busy Week

Hey guys.  Well this is really the first busy week for me of this year, nay, this decade.  Classes are starting for winter semester.  I've got accounting, math, speech and intro to logic.  I have math and accounting back to back on Mondays and Wednesdays and then Intro to Logic on Fridays.  Starting in February I will add a third class on Mondays, Intro to speech.  Wish me luck.

Last Thursday

Thursday was a super busy day but I wanted to get a quick post in.  I thought that I'd take the time to write a little bit more about it now. I had missed sleep that night but I was absolutely determined to finish an English paper that was due the next day.  It had to be one to two pages which was not really a challenge because I had a lot to talk about.  The problem was finding the time to get it typed.  I had planned to go to sleep from 7 to about noon.  Then I would allocate myself two hours for typing it.  I had a two hour study group starting at two, followed by a two hour math class, followed by a meeting with a friend.  The English class was the next morning. I ended up not getting ANY sleep.  Instead I pushed through and went to the library in the morning and typed the paper.  I'm proud to say that I got it all done, but it was quite a day!

One Month

Guys I'm sorry that it's been a month since my last posting.  I finished the summer class at Macomb and I've decided to do a fall semester there after comparing prices of pre-reqs at Macomb versus the same courses at Wayne.  It was way less expensive at Macomb so I'm headed there.  The savings should be great!

Sorry.

It's been forever since I've written.  I think it was June 4th or something like that.  I'm sorry.  That was just way too long to keep everyone waiting.  I haven't had time.  I graduated on the 10th, and started college on the fifteenth.  I'm taking a summer class at Macomb.  It's Composition 1.  It's really easy.  I expect to do quite well in it.  More to come.
