Spring Break & Start of Being a Junior

Spring break came and went. The snow fell and went again. Haha, yes the start of my spring break came with a foot of snow! It is more like freeze your butt off break! Once the snow mellowed out, I ventured out of the apartment.

I hung out with one of my friends a lot and one highlight was that we went to the park together and had a picnic in the snow! Never had a picnic before in the snow! After the picnic, we flew a spider man kite and got it up pretty high! There were people sledding in the park and it was funny as they all stopped to watch spider man fly around, probably thinking those morons have the wrong season for flying a kite. Oh well, it was fun!

Spring break was relaxing and it was kind of weird to not really have to do anything for a week. The next trimester of school started last Tuesday and it is my first trimester as a junior! I think if I get my stuff together, I should be able to graduate next year!

I have four classes that I am taking this trimester. They are Hospitality Strategic Marketing, Statistics, Cost Control (there is a fancy name for this class but I forgot it haha), and Hospitality Managerial Finance. Marketing is going to be interesting as we learn the ins and outs of marketing and also have to do a marketing business plan for a company we create. Cost control is about controlling the costs of restaurants primarily. I get to do a term project about analyzing a restaurant. And the finance class is about taking what we learned in accounting and applying it to our personal and business life.

I also am CLEP testing out of three classes-sociology, US History I, psychology. I took my first test last Friday for sociology and I passed it! Yay! So for about $115 bucks I saved myself the time it takes to go to a sociology class for a whole trimester as well as about $1,000 or so dollars, if not more.

I have been doing 2 Bible studies and I think I finally found a church. One Bible study is about finding time to spend with God with a really busy life. We are reading a book for it and use a teleconference format. It is unique but allows us a lot of flexibility! The book is "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World." The other Bible study is based on a book by Francis Chan called "Crazy Love" and that is about being crazy in loved with God! Both studies are amazing and from what I have read out of the books, I would definitely recommend them.

Other than that, not too much has been going for me other than hanging out with friends and studying for classes/tests. My work study job should start up again soon in the next couple of weeks. Plus, I think I have been battling a cold that may be a sinus infection/ear infection since all that happy garbage has been floating around the atmosphere. With all these people in one place and with the weather being 60 degrees one day and snowing the next, our bodies are like ughh what is going on! I cannot believe that March is almost halfway over! Where has the time gone?!
