No April's Fool

Hello and welcome to the beginning of April and the beginning of a new semester at Berkeley College. I wish all of our current students good luck and a great semester. This semester promises to bring a lot of excitement and new things both in and out of school. So far I have had only 2 classes out of the four I am taking this semester. I had Oral Communication and the Mind and Body classes. Oral communications seems like it is going to go by pretty quickly with already our first speech due on Monday. Our assignment is to choose and object not a person that represents us. We have to give three reasons why it represents us and present it in front of the class. Currently I am stuck on trying to decide on what object I should choose but as soon as I do and I do the speech I will let you guys know how it went. The topic for the speech is very interesting and I am going to present it as this blogs question. What object represents you? How or why does that object represent you? It is interesting what you will find out about yourself and others. As a side note to all incoming freshmen or High School students that are looking at colleges I recommend you taking Oral Communications as early as possible. It will definitely help you in your other classes especially if you are a business major.

My first ideas about the Mind and Body class was that it may take more of a philosophical approach to things about the mind and body, boy was I way off. The whole idea of the class is exploring different ways to get your mind and body in sync. What that means is how to not only do well physically but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We are going to explore some alternatives to traditional medicine which means this class is going to be very interesting. The professor is very lively and keeps the class awake which is difficult when you have worked all day and have to go to school. Yesterday we discussed Traditional medicine vs. holistic medicine and we discussed different illnesses. Next weeks topic will be anger and anger management which should prove to be interesting as a class discussion topic.

The remaining two classes will be on Friday and Saturday so you will have to wait until the next post to hear about them. My Friday class will be focusing on PowerPoint 2007 which should be interesting. My Saturday class is going to be on Web Design and that is the class I really want to get a handle on.

Now it is time for Rebecca's corner as I bring you an update about my little one. My little one is only a small step from running around like crazy. Yesterday she took three steps without holding on and even though she is still a little wobbly she is getting there. Now for a little self promotion as I wrap up this blog. Many do not know this but I am a tutor not only for college stuff but also high school. I also have helped high school students through the college transition and procedure so if anyone needs any assistance in tutoring or the college prep just comment here and leave an email address. I get an email notification when you leave a comment so I will respond in less than 24 hrs. The best thing is I have no rates or fees for tutoring or college help. Hope you enjoyed the blog and remember to think of an object that represents you and why it does.
