I finished interterm about two weeks ago. For those of you who don't remember, interterm is when you take one class for 2-3 weeks every day. I took helping relationships (which is part of my major) which was really fun. It was a very hands on class as we learned and practiced important skills that we will need to know if we go into that field. We did a lot of role playing - pretending to have conflicts with each other while another person mediated that conflict. It was a great class!
Once interterm was done, I had a week and a half off until the spring semester started. I did not do a whole lot during the break - just relaxed, read, and worked. I started a new job (again). This is a day job in admissions, answering the phone and doing paper work. I also still do student calling, but this way I get some more hours. So far I really enjoy the job - it has been fun and the office camaraderie is great.
On Tuesday spring semester started. I have now had every class once. I am taking 4 classes - biology, social work practice, social work policy, and ceramics (yes pottery). It should be really busy semester. The two social work classes are upper level classes so they are very involved. Biology is, well, biology and is probably my least favorite subject of all possible subjects, but it was required for my major so I had to take it. We will see how it goes...and then there is ceramics, which will be my nice get away and relax class. the only bad thing about it is that it is a night class. So twice a week I have to go to class at night which is no fun.
So that is my life. Now two random side notes:
(1) I started another blog. This one is with my roommates. We have decided to try out some new recipes and write about in on a blog (sounds familiar eh?). So if you are interested check it out...perhaps you can learn something knew too :) here is a link: http://www.mennonitegirls.blogspot.com/
(2) Ever heard of groupon? If not you should sign up here: http://www.groupon.com/r/uu11372181. We bought a groupon to get some professional pictures done. It was $25 for a one hour session and all the photos on a disc. We had a lot of fun and we love the pictures.
