Week 13: THEME Big to small

I love to learn!  Education is very important to me.  I started college in 2006.  Mother of four with a busy and demanding lifestyle I knew it was going to be tough.

I went in through the Onward program, wanting to double major and go to med school.  Leading study groups, joining co-ed sororities, nutrition club, I did it all.  It was a lot on my plate.  I went in full force, taking 15 credits per semester.  Two years, three years, four years, including summers.  The momentum started to give.  I could feel the wind being blown from my sails!

Year six, since the first didn't count.  One major, I've decided is going to be enough.  This semester, my final semester, 6 credits.  Still busy with a demanding schedule, pushing through classes, one by one.  Knocked out my forestry class last week, keeping up with english, biochem lab exam earlier today.  One class at a time, one assignment at a time, I'm pushing through it.  Twelve more days 'til graduation, then eleven, then ten.

  1. Gonna graduate before you finish with ENG 162??? Nice!

    I like the way the big to small content is mirrored by the change from big and important sounding sentences to tiny gasping fragments. If that was planned, very clever. If unplanned, fortune favors the prepared, and sometimes the writer writes better than she knows she can.

    1. Yes, graduation is May 5th! Very nice :) Thank you for the compliment, and yes, the tiny fragments were planned. If I feel it, I can write it...as you've seen in this class...if I don't, that's when I sometimes stumble. I have enjoyed this class and learned new things along the way. You make it a fun class and I have already recommended it to others!
