Back to school (for me)
Soooo, I’m back in school this week after being out for a year. I got my grant stuff all straightened out and I’m so ready to finish up these last few classes and graduate. I’m not sure what kind of job I will get but I’m hoping to do transcription at home. But if I have to, I will get a job working in a hospital/doctor’s office until I can find one working from home. Either way, I am sure I will enjoy the work. I’m taking Medical Office Concepts and Public Speaking this semester. I think I will enjoy the MOC but the Speech class, not so much. I am taking it online so it is a little less stressful than actually going to class on campus. I have to tape my speech with an audience of at least 4 people (and yes, it can be family). Even though my audience will be family,I am still nervous about speaking in front of them. I mean having a conversation is one thing, but getting up and talking about some boring topic they have no interest in is another. Thankfully, I only have to give 2 oral speeches. I know some people act like public speaking is no big deal, but it is to me. I have stage fright and am really shy when it comes to getting up and speaking to a group of people. But I’m just going to do my best and hope for a ‘B’ lol.
Ok, I try not to complain on here very often, especially about people in my family, but my mother-in-law constantly has negative things to say to me, especially on facebook. I mean she’s just really a smart alec and it drives me crazy. I really don’t think she knows how to think before she speaks. I try not to take everything she says personally but sometimes I just want to ask her what her problem is. I don’t bother her and she lives 4 hours away. I always try to be nice to her and not say anything back to her. We may be going to visit her next month so I’m trying not to say anything because I know Will wants to see her. I just get tired of feeling like I’m getting stepped on though. I try to treat people the way I want to be treated and I just would like the same respect. I guess some people just don’t get it though.
camera frustration….
I’ve had my Nikon D3000 for a few months now. I really like it but since I’m not an expert photographer, I have no idea how to really use it outside of the auto mode. And I have no money for extra lenses so I just have to use the 18-55mm that was sold with it. I did buy a UV filter and a polarized filter. I am not sure I can tell the difference between taking pictures with and without them though. I mainly got them because I read that it was better to have a filter on your lens to protect it from scratches. I keep taking pictures but it just seems like maybe I’m not a natural photographer. I wish I was though because it’s something that I really enjoy doing. So if anyone has a D3000 and can give me any tips/suggestions, please do….
And speaking of photography, I want some input from mommy bloggers about sharing pictures of my kids on my website. I have been wary about posting pics of my kids because I don’t want people stealing them or linking to them without my permission. So any advice anyone has on that would be greatly appreciated.
Ok, well I have supper to make and laundry to finish so I’m gonna get off of this computer for awhile. Hope you all have a great night!
