Ah....Christmas has come and gone, along with the break, and everyone is back to Judson and getting settled in. Classes began at the end of last week so everyone is ready to get into the routine of everything this week or, we were...

The weather had other plans though and because of possible snow and the likelyhood of ice, classes were canceled for today, so we got an extra day to make sure we were really read for the semester and to catch up with friends before everyone got extra busy with schoolwork. It seems to have almost become a new tradition, getting out of classes at least one day during the first week back to school after Christmas Break. Last year classes were canceled our first Friday and Monday back because of weather.

I am ready for the semester to really begin, though. I am excited about my classes and for the first time since my arrival at Judson as a freshmen, I don't have an 8 a.m. class. In fact, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I don't have to be anywhere until 11 a.m. I guess I should be smart, though and use those mornings off to get some work done rather then sleeping in like I want to.

Other times, my schedule this semester is similar to last semester. I have two business classes,two web classes, two required “core” classes, and then, of course, my team riding class. I think I am looking forward to my java scripting class the most - what can I say, I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to computer stuff, I mean it is just so interesting. I decidedthe class that I am least looking forward to, is Research Comp, a required class where you take a semester to write a paper. I understand the importance of the class, I just don't like writing papers.

It should be a fun semester! Check back to see how it goes.
