First Day As A Graduate Student

Earlier today was my first in person graduate level course at Molloy University. I was very ecstatic to begin my graduate studies at Molloy. Out of the four courses I chose to take this semester, this class is the only class that is not hybrid. I prefer being inside of a classroom, so it does not bother me.
So far I have enjoyed the experience, although the online component was the one thing I was anxious about. After completing my class today, everything has been manageable, and there have not been any technological dilemmas. I was very relieved that my first day went smoothly and that there were no unexpected issues. Hopefully the remaining portion of the semester will continue to progress just as smoothly as today went. I am very thankful for the opportunity to learn from the professors here at Molloy.


Vocabulary: 

 Graduate Level- Master's degree level of college

Molloy University- A college located in New York

    I am glad to have you in the classroom as well as in the online classroom. I hope that you will learn a lot in both.
    Your vocabulary choices and definitions are very good. With the grammar point, perhaps you could give some examples -- was/chose -- to point the students in the right direction.

My Monday Morning

Every weekday morning at eight o'clock I wake up. I work for a school as a class size reduction tutor. I do not have to go into work until ten fifteen in the morning. Sometimes I consider eating my breakfast as more of a brunch , since I have work so late into the morning. As I ventured to get ready for the day, I put on my blue button downed portfolio shirt and dress pants. I went into my drawer and grabbed my brush. I brushed my hair and afterwards I put toothpaste onto my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I put my tea cup underneath my coffee making machine (which I can use to make hot water for my tea). I sipped on my cup of tea and enjoyed the taste of caffeine .  As I walked into my car, I knew today would be a great day! Vocabulary: class sized reduction tutor- a teacher who stays in the classroom with the head teacher because there are more than 27 students in the class. brunch- a breakfast meal you can eat later in the morning but before it would be considered lunchtime.

God's Exciting Week!

This Sunday morning my church launched it's second campus.  It was a very exhilarating  day, knowing that now we have two separate locations sharing the love of Jesus with individuals. A plethora of exciting things have been happening in our church! This Friday we will be starting up our monthly youth nights, for students in 6th through 12th grade. We are going to be having a live band, a DJ, a photo-booth, free pizza, even a hype man . There will also be a mini sermon  given by our head youth leader at the end of the night. It is going to be a great night of fun and friendship for the students. November has been an exciting month! It is crazy to think that I began attending this church six months ago, and God as really blessed my time here in that six months. This place isn't about a religion but about a relationship with Jesus, and it shows in the work it is doing. I'm excited to see what December, and all the months to follow, have to bring. Vocabulary: campus- a
