17 to 14 wahoo!

I feel soooo much better about this semester now!  I took a Western Civ history class before I transfered to BYU-I and for some reason it wasn't counting towards anything for my minor, and earlier I thought 'ok, no big deal, I'll just take one more History class.'  Then I started my last semester before graduating, and had to take 2 upper division history classes to fulfill my minor requirements, and boy was it tough (on top of all my other upper div major classes).  So I petitioned it, and it passed!!  Today I dropped my Renaissance and Reformation class, and I can just feel the pressure lifting!!  That's 5 books I don't have to read, 1 extra term paper I don't have to complete, and 2 class presentations I don't have to do (not to mention all the tests and quizzes)!!  I still have my African history class which is still lots and lots of reading and work, and I have a powerpoint on Islamic Fundamentalism in Northern Africa due in a few days that I haven't even began research for, haha.  I think I have major "senioritis" haha I feel like such a slacker!  But going from 17 credits to 14 just seems SOO  much better!!  
Oh, and I started my internship this week, so that's been fun too :)

Way to go Michaela. The last year is tough but it's not that much longer. That's a lot of extra work you don't have to make up.

Hi Kyla! I had no idea you were into history, thats awesome. That's what i got my degree in. well it's good to see that you're doing well and almost done with school. I love knowing that I'll never go to class again!

I'm glad you were able to drop credits, I can only imagine the relief!

Oh, and senioritis? I have literally had it bad since summer semester last year..... (This is my 6th semester in a row)
