I survived....

English 101 and the 3 reports that were required. The last report was worth 25% of my grade so it was a little intimidating. The topic was on the environment.
I felt completely overwhelmed because this topic can splinter a 1000 ways. All I really needed was 1000 words. I prayed, researched, wrote and prayed some more. I submitted the paper on the final day and waited and waited for a grade. Apparently the teacher was on spring break because I waited all week :-( Then I got the grade...95 out of a possible 100. Now that is fun! I messed up in stupid little ways having to do with the MLA writing style. Overall the teacher felt like it was well written. Miracles come in all sizes and I'm glad one was given to me. I finished the class making an A.

Now it's the start of yet another class. I was telling David that it takes me about 4 wks. to settle into a class and then we only have 4 wks left to "enjoy" the ride. Thanks for riding along with me.
This is a repeat for all my Facebook friends. Sorry!
