Marching into March

-The next few post may seem a bit weird because i hand wrote them since i had no time to upload. Enjoy! This one is dated March 4th-

Hello everyone and welcome back. Just a few administrative items, registration for the spring is still going on if you have not done so please register. Tax season is upon us the sooner you file the sooner you can fill out your FAFSA and NYHESC Tap form. This will also allow you to clear earlier instead of waiting for the last minute.

We have finally reached the last 4 weeks of the winter semester here at Berkeley College. I have to say by far this is the hardest semester and busiest semester I have had here at Berkeley. It is so crazy that a 2 credit class is giving me an 8-10page paper due in about a week. On top of that I need to change that paper into a PowerPoint presentation that I must do before my classmates as my final presentation. So far I am batting an A in that class and I hope that my final presentation keeps up the pace. In my taxation class I have my midterm this week in week in week 9, talk about late. The only upside to it all is that we only need to study for one chapter when it comes time for the final so I am cool with that.
In International Business I also have an 8-10 page paper due next week and I will also have to lead a small discussion on the paper the week after. Then a week after that is our final which will be 50 true or false questions which does not leave much room for error. I also have taken my second essay test in Microeconomics. It is funny because it was based on two chapters but both questions came from only one. This is one of the reasons studying is so frustrating. You think you covered everything then you get the test and half of the test you thought not to study is on it. Personally I don’t know how the student body has not united as one and cause a raucous every time a professor does that.

Now it is time for the Rebecca and Jose corner. Well in his eagerness to catch his sister Jose has mastered the art of the baby walker. He is a virtual speed demon that can change direction and speed in an instant. I still manage to not get ran over and that is a goal that I intend on keeping. His sister on the other hand has found some diabolical ways to harass her brother while he is in it, such as pushing him from behind. Other than that she continues to be a very loving and caring big sister to her brother as she grows and learns what her responsibilities are. That is all for now stay tuned for reviews on Watchman the movie, a new book by an familiar professor and many other cool events as we wind down the winter semester.
