SCHOOL IS OFFICIALLY OVER...for me.
Patrick started his final semester this week. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. It's going to feel so good when he is finished. However we really don't know what is going to happen when he does graduate but it will be fun that he's done.
Audrey keeps calling me and Patrick teacher....It's a little depressing...but what am I going to do about it? I kindly remind her that I am mommy and not teacher and she cutely replies..."oh, right, mommy." or "oh. right, daddy." It's never been frustrating but it's still sad.
She has learned another song. If you're happy and you know it. She likes to sing the hooray verse. She looks like a cheerleader when singing it. super cute!
I went to El paso last week to surprise Michelle and Dan. It was fun to be there. We got there Thursday night and then Michelle had Virginia on Friday morning. I then left on Sunday afternoon.
These are some of the shots I snagged that weekend and actually used for my final project in my photography class.
I'll send all of them to Michelle so that she can have the pleasure of posting them on her blog. but I wanted to show you some of my favorites.
She really is a doll....but I don't want to spoil Michelle's fun by telling you about her. That's Michelle's job not mine. But she is really cute.
The trip was good. El Paso is a sad sad place....it's very dead. But they have a super awesome outlet mall that was 2 minutes away from our Hotel. Mom and I spent some time there on Saturday. Mainly shopping for Audrey and Virginia. They can't be spoiled enough. :) The Hotel was really nice it was a Hampton inn. I didn't get any shots of the Hotel...I should have it's practically new. Here's a link to the
Hotels Site. Other than driving back and forth from the Hotel and the Hospital we didn't do much else. We tried to stay away so that Mom, Dad and Baby could have alone time but I figured I'm not going to see her very often I'm taking every chance I can get to see her. Sorry guys.
Other than that I don't think anything else has happened. I am happy that School is done. I finished last night at about 9 pm. I was so worried that I didn't get everything done that I was dreaming about missing assignments last night. UGH! I think this is how the grades will turn out. An A or A- in Digital Photography and Composition 2. If I get lower. I'll be pissed. Most likely an A- in Interaction Design. It could be a high B+. I don't know how we did on our final project. I think we did great. Then in Digital Media Project Management I'll be getting a B it could be a B+ if she is nice. I'm a little upset about the B. I've been averaging an A- on all assignments and tests. What's bringing me down is I missed 2.5 discussions, the class was an online course. I got 34 out of 42 in the discussions because one I was really sick and forgot and the other I can't remember. But the discussions are worth 45% of our grade. That means for every point you miss that's 1.07% of your grade gone. I don't think the dicussions should have that much weight on your final grade. It should be tests...which only accounts for 30% of the grade. teachers have so much power. ugh!
Another thing I am upset about is that we had to do an online reflect and share in the interaction design class. I thought I hit submit on the reflect and share but the computer must not have registered it...I don't know...I noticed it about day later and submitted the assignment late. I got a 7 out of 10 for it being late....I could understand losing 1 or 2 points but 3 I got a C on an assignment just because it was a few hours late. I hate grades and don't think they are fair...all the time, and I am going way way way off on a tangent. Ugh! I need to finish.
