It's my third week

I am in the middle of my third week of school, and while the homework load has picked up significantly I still find it quite manageable. At the start of this week we had a key term quiz for interpersonal communication as well as some group stuff. It almost seems like we are doing a chapter a week in there. Composition.... ugh
Composition is one of those classes that you enjoy because you like the topic being covered, but at the same time you dread doing the work. On Monday we had to prepare two thesis statements for our narrative essay. I wrote mine as the teacher walked into class which is a habit I would love to avoid.
Thesis statement 1
Becoming a father is a life changing event. It made me realize that I need to reorganize my priorities and start putting my family first.

Thesis statement 2
Becoming a part for the first time is an exhilarating experience that introduced me to so many new things. Things like diapers, midnight feedings, and losing a lot of sleep...
The rough draft for this paper is due today, so I wrote mine yesterday in about 40 minutes. All of our papers are supposed to be 800-1000 words. It seems hard at first but after a while I was already at 922 with out being conscious of it.
Tuesday brought intro to software applications, and principles of marketing. I really like both of these classes, something about them just feels right. Intro to software applications is pretty easy so far we are currently working in word. There is a little home work for this class but it's not to bad at all.
Principles of marketing- this is a fun one. On Tuesday we broke into groups to begin our capstone project. The plan is to get a team together that will build a marketing plan for this generic product. I had originally signed on to be the designer/creative person, but as no one chose to be the writer I opted to do that instead. I gotta get headed out the door to bring my kids to daycare and to go to class. I will leave you with a little video I find quite humorous. Have a good day!
