Thoughts on my first semester back to college


It has been an interesting one to say the least. I have my midterm paper next Friday and my final paper on the following Friday. They are both on things I am passionate about. My midterm is about the Women's Revolution in WWE.  I will have more on my final paper later as I don't want to spoil the surprise. After a few more weeks, I will finish strong with a 3.0 plus gpa.

This semester has been challenging, but rewarding. I brought up my gpa which was one of my main goals for attending this semester. Attending college online has also made me realize that I prefer being an on campus student. I will probably have online classes from time to time, but I just don't want to do them all online. I love the interaction of being in a real college classroom.

That's why going forward, most of my classes will be on campus. I will be taking 2 or 3 classes a semester, depending on what's offered and what I can handle. This spring, I am taking Writing for the Mass Media and Electronic Communication. I may take Interpersonal Communication as well, it all depends on my schedule. This is because I may be working at the college through a Work study job, so I have to plan accordingly.

It helps that I have received financial aid for the future semesters, which helps my situation immensely.  I am going to get my Associates from Tulsa Community College and then decide if I want to finish at another school. It is an exciting time in my life and will be challenging, but it will be so worth it in the end.

Finish strong!

We're down to the last few weeks folks! I have to finish my editorial on the college admissions scandal this weekend and this month will be attending a religious service for intercultural communication. On the 18th, I will be attending the Campus Activities Board for student leadership recognition and then a gala for winning a scholarship! This has been a challenging semester with lots of illness and pain, but I can see the light. I will have three weeks off until my summer classes start. I am taking Social Media Marketing and Honors TCC Connection. My job requires all students working there to enroll in a class each semester to advance their learning. In the fall, I am taking Principles of Advertising, Honors TCC Connection, Digital Photography, and Japanese I. Wish me luck! Gabrielle

Why going back to work was the best thing I could have done

I was a stay at home wife and furmom for the better part of a decade. I enjoyed it, but it got to where I needed more. I needed challenges and interaction from other people. I went back to college at Tulsa Community College last fall and aced my class. I applied and started working at The TCC Connection in December 17th. It has been a great experience for me and I'm loving meeting new people. I love the interaction with my coworkers and the camaradie. I also enjoy being involved in campus activities and being a part of the campus activities board. But mostly, I've enjoyed being a part of a community again. I enjoy being busy and having exciting new challenges everyday. It's days like today where I am at home ill that makes me appreciate my new life. I enjoyed my old life, but I have a great new one and I couldn't be happier.

Things are looking up

Things are changing around here... My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date. Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule. Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strate...
