Today has been fairly unproductive. I got up and had breakfast in the University Cafe. I went to social science class where we discussed how blacks in the Caribbean are still the minority because minority refers to how much power a racial group has and whites still have all the power here. (I find it interesting that the governor and all elected officials are black...) I'm not sure how this lady gets these facts. Anyways, after that class I had volleyball at the beach. That was a nice change. Now, I am going over a presentation on Autism. I have enjoyed putting this presentation together and was supposed to present it to class on Monday. However, we ran out of time so, hopefully, I will be presenting tonight. I am a little nervous which is to be expected. I guess, like most people, I get the most nervous about the things that I have put the most work into and am the most passionate about. I have also been working on a speech I will be giving once I return home. I have written some of it out and made a little slide show. It's hard for me to focus too much on it when I have been working a lot on homework. But I am excited/nervous about that as well.
I just turned in an eight page research paper on the Rastafarian religion down here. It is a week early (YAY Me!). I now have to work on a presentation to give to the class on the religion, no powerpoint, nothing but just standing up and talking. I also turned in a research paper for health class early. SO...for my Education class I have my presentation tonight, field experience in a local elementary school, and a final presentation to wrap up. I have two PE finals to do which should be easy. I have to finish my Missouri speech and get down a song to sing for January before I leave again for Alaska. Whew. Hopefully this will all come easily.
Just a side note, today I added another class which makes 7 classes for spring. Not to worry though. It is just a power pump PE class. I need something to do during the day because ALL my other classes are at night. So I added this PE class and I also emailed the Learning Center in Juneau about a tutoring job. I think it might actually work well because my classes are all online besides the PE class, so it should be easy to find time to work. Plus, I can work on homework at slow times.
Wow. Well... not long left until I am on my way home. I have to say it is bitter sweet. I didn't expect it to be but it is a lot of Sweet with a little Bitter. I am so excited to get home and also to get back to Juneau, but the water here is gorgeous. I will miss having the beach right near by. And the weather has finally cooled off to where it isn't unbearable anymore. I will miss the safaris too. I really like riding in them, feeling the breeze (even if most of the time the driving is crazy). Anyways, I still have soo much to do before I can even begin to worry about leaving.
Whew. It's going to be a crazy ride for the next few days.
