Half Way

I always thought of Spring Break to be about the half way mark for the semester, well not in Louisiana. (duh). The half way mark is done via Mardi Gras break (at least year, because Easter is sooooo late). David has Monday-Wednesday off of next week, and I get off Monday & Tuesday (from school). I still haven't got quit accustom to the whole MARDI GRAS thing, but whatever. I definitely celebrated enough to last a lifetime in my more 'hethen' days, though. My Spring Break is the week before Easter, then we go for two more weeks and we will be done for the semester! Seems kind of out of whack to me, but whatever. I am just thankful I still have my head above water and I am doing well in my classes. :)

I am half way through my first semester at LSU - Shreveport! I only have 9 more months to go, before I get to walk across that stage with my degree! Ahhhhh. I simply can NOT wait. This is one goal I never thought I would actually achieve, but God had other plans to help push me towards it. I am so thankful for that, because I really do love what I am learning about. Going to school and learning about something you can apply, that makes sense and I enjoy, equals complete success to me!

LSU-Shreveport does a 'half way grading' thing that basically, gives you an idea of what your projected grade will be if you continue down the road that you currently are on. I can proudly report, all three of courses reported: A's! Who knew? I do in fact have a brain. lol.

My goal is to complete my Master's Degree with a 4.0gpa. Apparently, I like to push myself beyond measure, because I subconsciously get some sick pleasure out of it, since I do it more often than not! Seriously though, I love learning about this stuff and can't wait to complete the task.

David is doing just as great, if not better. Go figure. He began his JUNIOR year, yesterday starting the Spring Quarter. He wont hardly brag on himself, so I pick up the slack. :)

This quarter marks so many things for David:
1. He has completed over 60 hours
2. He doesn't have to take any more science
3. He doesn't have any more 'basic' courses to complete
4. He has more than a 3.2 GPA
5. He has successfully completed his 'beginner' accounting courses - with flying colors!
6. He has been asked to join two different National Honors Societies
7. He has been approached to complete an application for the College of Business (COB) scholarship
8. He has been asked to be a part of the 'welcoming' committee for incoming freshman at Tech
9. He has been asked by the dean of the COB to apply for internships for this coming Winter Quarter
10. He has accomplished all of these things and so many more while still making time to be with me. :)

Every day isn't easy, but every day we wake up and move just a little bit closer to our goals. We are learning all about my word of the year: focus.
