Hey guys.
I am sad to report that the Black Llamas (my intramural soccer team) posted their first loss to close the regular “season”. We still get to play for first place in the playoffs, but it ruins our perfect season. I’m placing the blame on the fact that I have been watching my weight for my first wrestling tournament this weekend and haven’t walked through the doors at Chipotle in quite some time. Bottom line, we’ve been slacking on our training and I’ll be sure to get one of those burritos first thing when I get back from my tournament.
On a lighter note, advising season began last week and scheduling for classes next semester begins over the next few days. This means that the semester is almost over! But that’s not the only good thing about advising season. Since I’m in the Education Department, I need to fulfill course requirements for both my major, History, and for the Education Department. After not looking at the course maps for each department for a while, I tend to forget what all I need to get done still before I graduate. So when advising comes around, and I meet with both my advisors, I get a mental refreshment on the remaining course loads for my time here at the Mount. And this semester I was pleasantly surprised! I wasn’t supposed to graduate on time due to a change in majors, but I have caught up my classes and am now on my way to graduating in four years. That’s great news! I won’t have to fork over an extra semester of tuition! And I owe all this to my advisors. I sort of bounced around with my major advisors because I changed majors, then my history advisor was on sabbatical so I had a stand in. Now, I have my usual history advisor. I also have my Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) Education advisor that has really helped me stay on track and get things taken care of on time.
If any of my advisors read this, Jim, Buffy, Dr. Lynch, and Dr. West, thanks a lot and I appreciate the hard work you all have done to keep me on track!
To the rest of you, I’ll get back to ya next week!
