CEP 882 Blog

A place to think, write and learn through out Spring of 2011 in CEP 882. I will post to this as often as I have a drive to sit down and write, it may or may not apply to this course specifically but every day events often find their way into our learning so I will use those throughout the term.

Back in the Groove

Well the week has been flying by once again. I am ending it on a different note than last week however. This week I have found rejuvenation through several aspects of my life. First I found a good way to get a work out in each day giving me more energy to get things done around the house (including homework). Second I found life and excitement by getting off the ground again. Flying was my goal since the 3rd grade and after quitting Army Aviation in October I was feeling a little down, today I had my first flight in a Cessna 152 to revive my dream. The best part of the rejuvenation is that I am feeling motivated to sit down and get my school work done. Not feeling like a bump on the log due to the work outs I am now finding motivation to do all the other things that require my attention on a daily basis.
So this week has put me back in the groove, back in the swing of things...whatever you want to call it I have it. Now I have to make sure I hold on to it! I hope all is going well for everyone else this term and if you have a fallen in a hole like I did, I hope you can find a way to climb out!

Welcome

Two weeks have flown by and I am feeling like I don't know where to begin. I have had a slow start to finding motivation and diving into this course. I always feel bad when this happens, not for myself, but for the classmates that I feel I am letting down by not keeping up. I know this happens at times throughout the term, usually not in the first few weeks, but I usually get through it. Having a lack of motivation in the beginning is making it harder for me to feel like this course will be a positive experience right now. I know I will get through it, but I always wonder when. I am working each day to find a little more motivation and a little more strength in myself so I can get into not only CEP 882 but my portfolio course as well.
This is my last term with MSU and I will not let myself or anyone else down by waiting too long to get into this course. I am excited for the topics listed in this class and I can't wait to jump in. I hope to write again in a few days with more motivation standing behind me.
