Time to get down to work.

Hope you are doing well.

The semester has well and truly started. Assignments, readings, and class work are in full swing and I'm feeling the burn. I'm not quite at the stress level quite yet, but juggling 18 hours of class work with soccer and the other extra-curricular activities I am doing, it's getting kind of tough. Although, my professors are only just giving me my money's worth, lol.

On top of all the school work, I am in the process of figuring out what I want to do with my life. I am contacting a lot of professors and Appalachian administration about what to do if I want to go to graduate school. I'm not sure if I want to stay at Appalachian (don't get me wrong, I love the people and the place) but I want to get out and see the country. Anyway, the advise I have been receiving has been extremely helpful in guiding me with my prospective decisions. I urge you, if you have any questions about coming to Appalachian, don't hesitate to contact some. This could include me, the admissions office, or a program your thinking about studying under. We're only too willing to help.

The soccer team is doing well, we are currently 5-2, with Radford University tomorrow. We had a very creditable result against #1 ranked Wake Forest midweek, and hopefully this holds us in good stead for the upcoming match, as well as the conference games starting next week.

Until next time,

Another day, another dollar (I wish!)

Hi, I hope this all finds you well.

So another week has been and it started off extremely well last week with the football team crushing Jacksonville 56-7.

On a personal level the Men's soccer team has had a successful start to the season, wining their first three games. Hopefully we can keep it up.

Classes have well and truly started now and I am going to give you an insight to my class schedule:

CI3850 (Literacy, Technology & Instruction): This is required education course about the three aspects mentioned in its name. So far the instructor has been interesting and knowledgeable, despite it being two and a half hours long (but only once a week.)

CI4020 (Teaching Physical Education): This class is required for my major and I basically can't wait for the field experience aspect of this course to start. This is where I go out to the public schools and teach physical education to school children.

DAN2014 (Dance Appreciation): This course is to fulfill the humanities requirement of my major. It's certainly a different course compared to what I am used to but the instructor provides a fun and cool perspective on a subject I have limited knowledge of.

HED3450 (School Health Programs): This class is to fulfill the requirements of my second concentration, health education.

HED4650 (Drug Education & Prevention): Again this class is to fulfill the requirements of my second concentration, health education and the instructor is extremely funny and likes to play his guitar as an instructional method.

PE4002 (Psychological Aspects of Sport): Finally, this class is required for my major and is extremely interesting and i love turning up. I love learning how sport and exercises affects psychological aspects of people and how psychology affects the performance of sport and exercise. The only bad side to this course that i can think of is that it is at 8am, lol.

Therefore, this semester i am currently taking 18hours worth of classes which is semi-difficult (15 is the norm and 21 is considered difficult - i can attest for this.) However, because 5 out of my 6 classes are required to be a physical education major with a health education endorsement it isn't too bad because this is what I want to do with my life after college.

Anyway, this is a typical schedule for a senior student at Appalachian and I hope it gives an insight to what might be in store in the future.

Take care and I'll talk to you later.
