Only three weeks in the semester left and.....

I am nearly done with this semester and I am at my usual can't wait to finish it and start on something new. This time around classes have been good mostly. English has been the least fun but I think I have my A anyway. Only one project and one small assignment to complete and it will be done. The math is going well as can be expected. It is another baby step to college algebra which I will take in the fall. Then I will have to plug away at statistics in the spring and that should wipe the math for my degree out. Yeah! Psychology and Sociology round out this semester's academics and I am holding my own their as well. I expect to have A's in all of them as I have succeeded in doing well in all of the tests so far. Finally the Water Aerobics and the Swim for Fitness classes have done me the most good physically. I have lost nearly ten pounds and built some great muscles all over. I never knew I would like to exercise. In fact as a kid I avoided physical activity as a rule. Wish I hadn't though cause then I would have not had all the weight and health issues I experienced over the last 30 years. So as the semester comes to the end I am satisfied at accomplishing something I never have before. I have completed three consecutive semesters of college and can really believe I will see it all the way through to my BA. How great is that?

Focus

I haven't done this for a while and this is only my second entry in as many months. The actual embarrassing reason is that I forgot how to get back into the Blogspot. I did figure it out finally so here I am. I celebrated my 54th birthday yesterday and I am happy to still be here walking the earth considering the alternative. 
Did I title this blog focus? Yes I did because it is something I have difficulty doing. I definitely have a condition that causes me to be easily distracted and flit from one thing to another. In my first entry to this blog I told you all I am planning to get a degree in Psychology and Sociology. After spending time in both of those classes I find that though I get both subjects and am having no trouble passing the tests I don't think that is really the career I want after all. I am now changing my major to Health Education but I still plan on minoring in Psychology. How did I get to this decision. I have an English assignment to thank for this. I had to create a document that included my major and the job possibilities after completion. This caused me to explore more options and I found that as a health educator I can still do what I want to do and have a better chance of making a living doing it. 
At the end of this semester I will have finished a full year of classes. I have not ever been able to stay a course this long before. And I am still enjoying it. Fortunately for me I only have to focus for a few months at a time on a subject and then I can switch gears for another semster. I am already looking forward to summer. I will have only one academic class and a PE class. I may even be able to find time to volunteer somewhere for the summer. 
So even though in the past I have had difficulty finding focus in my life I think I have finally found what I need to do it now. Its hard but Its fun and in a few years just in time for Terry to retire I will be ready to begin a new career. Wish me luck because I think it can't hurt.
