The first week of my Senior Year

I need to clarify something really quick. My Senior year is probably going to last three semesters so it won't be like a typical Senior year. It will be a Senior year for with a victory lap. I mean after all, why deny the college community the privilege of Scott Lemons? That's what I thought.

I am taking 6 classes this semester.

  1. Cultural Anthropology
  2. Books, Media, and Literacy for Children
  3. Classroom Assessment
  4. Methods of Teaching Social Studies
  5. Corrective Reading
  6. Modern English Grammar and Usage
All my classes are very interesting. The only thing this year is I really need to be adhering to a schedule or else I will not be able to get everything done that I need to get done. I was telling mom that my workload and content was more in depth and she was like, "Well you are in upper division in your Senior Year!" I guess that's true. I shouldn't have a big issue with the classes this year as long as I manage my time. My only problem is that I work best doing stuff the night before or a day or two before, and I have a lot of semester-long projects. Not fair!

I am leading a Lifegroup again...this time of 8th grade boys! I moved up with my guys, so it's all good. I'm really excited because we're going to do the Case for Christ! I always wanted to read this book now I can read and teach it! It will be sweet. This will be very challenging for them as well as me because we get into, "Why do you believe what you believe?" this year. All of us have some big evaluating to do.

I'm also on the leadership team of the College Ministry. It's exciting. I'm being reminded that I am pretty much the oldest college student there. That's okay, it just really didn't cross my mind until I was like, "Wait a minute...I'm 22 years old and a Senior." I'm looking forward to this semester though. Things will be different, but I feel like we are going in a good direction.

I better be going. I hope you all are having a great rest of the day and I will blog soon!
