Class on Labor Day?
I'm sure most of you are enjoying the Labor Day holiday off, but not here at JMU! Unfortunately for us, we had class. It really wasn't too bad though, because I only have two classes today so I still had most of the day to do whatever I wanted.
Right now I am actually working on some internship stuff. I have the very last batch of Greensprings folders to index and put into the database. So as soon as I'm done with these folders, the project will be finished. I went through a lot of folders this summer!
All of my classes are still going fairly well. I haven't had any major homework to speak of yet; just some reading here and there. One of my classes has what the teacher calls "lottery questions" because he puts all of our names into a cup and draws peoples' names to answer questions. For that class I have to make sure that I get the questions ahead of time and have the answers ready just in case my name gets picked! I've never had a teacher use this approach to make people participate in class before.
This past weekend was the first JMU football game versus Lock Haven. We beat them hands down 56-0. Unfortunately I did not make it to the football game because I was sick, but I am so glad that we started the year off with a great win. I defitnitely plan to attend the rest of the home games if possible.
Other than going to football games, I still like to go to UREC and go running in my free time. A few of my friends and I are actually training to run a half-marathon in the spring. That is 13.1 miles! Yikes! However, it would be a great goal to accomplish, and as long as we keep up with our running, I think we can do it. JMU also has some 5K and 10K running events during the year, which we can do to practice running races.
Thats about it for today! Hope you had a great Labor Day holiday!
