March!

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well. This month went by in the blink of an eye. I have been a bit too busy with classes and life that I lost track of time.

I have been getting in the habit of planning ahead of time. For example, I have started looking for the classes that I have to take for the Fall semester. Although there are still a few months before Fall classes start, the window to register for them will open sometime next month in April and it is best to choose the classes as soon as possible before all seats get taken. Another example is since the movie theaters are now open, my friends and I have been planning since the beginning of January to go see a movie that will come in late April. Therefore, I went and looked through all my class schedules to make sure I know what needs to get done that day, so I know when to start working ahead to make sure I have that day free without having to worry about schoolwork.

 A few weeks ago, I passed by the Dollar Tree store and decided to go inside and see what was new since it was just getting rebuild and organized. I ended up buying a few art supplies such as paint, brushes, canvases, and a few wooden animals to paint. My goal is to have a day where my nephews and I paint something and have it framed to be put on the wall or paint wooden animals and have them as decoration or just to play with. I have been getting into a few arts and crafts activities. Last year when I had in-person lectures at my college, after class I would go to the computer labs where the printers were and take some of the free recycled paper and use it to make origami figures with my nephews. Not too long ago we had a competition to see who could make the best paper airplane that would fly the farthest. I have also gotten into putting 3-D wooden puzzles together. So far, I have only assembled two puzzles. One is a car that seems to be from the 50s and the second is a biplane.

Today I looked at my class schedule and I notice that there are only a few months before the spring semester and this school year ends. I decided to take a summer class to get ahead and not take as many classes during the Fall and Sprint semesters. Like I mentioned before I looked at the classes I will be taking during the Fall semester and it’s quite a whopping 17 credits. I am already taking the maximum credits recommended which is 15 credits, therefore I am not looking to stress out even more. Last week was the week that midterm exams ended. I although I’m glad I don’t have to worry about big exams for a while, final exams and final projects will be approaching quickly.

This is all for this time. Until next.

Best of health to everyone.
