a dream deferred...

I'm sam.i.am and I'm an English major.

I have officially changed my major back to English! (Cue applause) The math thing (although I love it) was not working out. I was feeling quite dumb to be honest and realistically I need to finish school so I can begin teaching already! I put myself 1.5 years behind pursuing the math thing and though I do plan on accomplishing that goal in my lifetime, right now, I am going to focus on my love, English, and earn my bachelor’s degree in that field. With the knowledge that I already have in mathematics, I can probably test for my endorsement for K-8 math… for now, I am fine with that. It just gives me yet another goal to work towards.

So from this information, you can deduce the outcome of Calc Redo and Calc Take 3. I’m not giving up per se; I am just putting it on hold.

La-a out!

Gettin' 'Er Done!

Summer Session II is underway and I am working really hard to do the very best that I can in what I like to call my “Calc Redo.” Remember in the 90s when Pepsi attempted (not so successfully) to market the Pepsi remix soda…that’s my inspiration… except I will be successful. Since I am a follower of Christ, I believe that I can get assurance and peace from the Word of God a.k.a. the Bible. The scripture that I am standing on is Phillipians 4:13- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Another thing that I am doing to ensure that I am doing my absolute best is that I am going to the Rec. Center to exercise and get the blood flowing to my brain before I go to tutoring. I’m not playing around! I want to be able to say at the end of this that I did the best that I possibly could. I’m not sure if I could live with myself doing only a portion of my best.
