Registration Complications

Every semester comes time for us to register for our next semester schedules. It's a mad dash to get to mySRU and pick up the classes you want/need. For me, I have yet to have good luck with it. This semester of registering was a roller coaster. I wasn't able to get every class I wanted, and that is fine, but I didn't get one class that I needed. Public Speaking. All the sections were closed by the time I was able to schedule. So I decided to register for the online summer course. However, I was removed from that because of some department issues. A few days ago I was presented an email from the Comm. Dept. saying that they were going to open a new section for those who were removed from the summer section. Thankfully everything worked out for me to get the last class I need to enter the College of Ed next semester.

SRU Weather Was Lucky

Normally, when we think of the weather here, we think of Snow and Rain University. Well we got the rain part today, despite the forecast calling for around 4 inches of snow. For once, we were not the ones being nailed with the worst of the worst of the weather. In no way am I saying it was nice out today but a lot of other areas south of us had an accumulation of snow on the grounds this morning. Although, looking at the overall picture, what is up with this?! It's almost May... MAY! I, for one, am not asking it to be in the 70's and 80's everyday but at this point in the year it should be in the 50's and 60's. I hope this weather doesn't put a damper on the rest of our semester!

Relay For Life

I have been slacking on the blogs. I have been slacking because I have had this little thing called Relay For Life on my mind for the past few weeks. Last night (Saturday) I played an acoustic solo set at the event in the field house. It was the first time I had ever done something like that as last year my band played. I was also able to get my friends band come play as well. Seemed like everyone enjoyed the night of music for such a great cause. Fighting cancer is something that needs to be done in such large groups as this. Around an hour before I played I was told that my friend, who had been fighting cancer for months, was "cancer free" for the time being. They say you cannot be considered totally cancer free until 5 years later. Here's to hoping he is.
