In six weeks, I'll be a graduate of California State University, Fullerton!! I'll have my Bachelor's of Arts in English, emphasis on Secondary Education. I have worked for many long years on this degree. :o) It would not be possible for me to go to school without the support of my fantastic husband and my great mom. For the past three years, Chris has given me encouragement, made innumerable cups of tea, massaged away worry knots in my neck, and watched the boys so I can get my papers and reading done. My mom has watched the boys for me so that I can attend my necessary classes at the same time she has been taking classes for her own university studies! I am so blessed to have a great family.
I'm currently reading "Middlemarch" by George Eliot and I believe it's the longest book I have ever read! (Which is saying a lot for an English major...) 850+ pages with size 9? font makes for some tough reading. What else have I been reading? "Gulliver's Travel" by J. Swift for another English class, "The Crucible" for another class, and "A Doll's House" for my fourth class. I love to read, which is why I'm an English major!! **If you don't like to read, don't become an English major...**
I finished designing my graduation announcements and will be sending those out with the next week or so. I think they look pretty good. Not as professional looking as the one available for purchase from the company outsourced by CSUF but as I do not have $150 for announcements, I made my own for $13 (the cost of the paper!) and my own imagination (priceless!). :o)
Focusing now on working on writing papers for each class and writing them well! I'm an overachiever which means that I always aim for an "A" in each class I take. :o)
Enough blogging. Got to go back to reading and writing.
