A New Start

Dear Readers,

I know it has been a very long time since I’ve written to you all. I haven’t forgotten you. I tried to write a blog many times last quarter, but I couldn’t seem to come up with very good content.

I had a long and very rough quarter. I made good grades in English and Machining classes. I did fail out of math, as I was unable to keep up with the course load. I voluntary failed the math class as I wasn’t going to get the grade I needed to get into my next math course. I’ve never been very good at math and had only marginally managed to pass the class before this one.

Tomorrow, I start spring quarter. I hope this quarter will go smoother. I have another three classes scheduled. I’ll be taking the next English class I think 114 is the class number. I’m also taking into to engineering class and a history class. I have to take three electives so I picked history has one of them. I don’t know what other two electives I’m going to take.

My fall quarter was quite hard on my life at home as well. I didn’t have much time at home or to myself. I had late classes, so I didn’t have any time at home until the weekend and then I just wanted to sleep. I told you I took Thor for Aunt Mary and Uncle Steve. I was feeling really bad as I wasn’t able to walk him or have him out of the cage much. Let me say here that Molly is not bothered by being in the cage for long periods of time. She is quite content to sleep in her cage with the door closed instead of sleeping in her cage with the door open as she does when I’m home. “Grandma” White kindly looked for someone with land and a love for animals for Thor. She was able to find someone a week ago. They are a very nice family in the country who love having him there. I bet he’s happier there as I’m gone almost 18 hours a day.

I spent my spring break trying to get caught up on some things I had let slide during my winter quarter. I washed my bed clothes, washed some dishes, and got some sleep. I also installed a “on demand” hot water heater at the church. I don’t know if the church ever had hot water. I’m guessing not since they made it a church if it even did before that. It’s very nice to finally have hot water there as the water temperature of the water at entry is quite cold in the winter.

Well, I guess I’d better go I still have things to do before I start back to school tomorrow.

Your blogger,
