News from Joshua in Texas

Life has been most excellent thus far in San Antonio.

I continue to work at CollegePlus! in areas of website updates, graphic design, computer support and special projects. As August and September are just around the corner, peoples’ minds are thinking more about college. So are we…with a full seminar schedule coming up this fall on how to do college from home. Part of my job responsibility includes managing and marketing the technical end for these upcoming events (i.e. – designing flyers).

I am also enjoying my studies for and currently have 51 credits (in 3 months!) through the CLEP and Dantes tests that I’ve been taking at the UIW. Most of these tests were lower level subjects that I was either somewhat familiar with or had previous knowledge/experience. I’m almost halfway through my degree. However, I don’t expect this rate of earning credits to last much longer since I will be transitioning into some upper level, more difficult/specific material. Some of you are asking when I will start online classes. The answer is…a Managerial Communications course…probably this fall. Overall, I am satisfied with the progress I am making with my BSBA in General Management.

As far as my social life goes….I toured the Alamo and walked the River Walk a few weekends ago with some friends. I personally thought the Alamo was interesting, but the River Walk wasn’t all that great – although the Casa Rio restaurant had delicious, authentic Mexican, low priced food. The Casa Rio restaurant was the first business to open along side of the River Walk.

I’ve also had the opportunity to meet and fellowship with many new people down here, mainly through the church I’ve been attending. If studying becomes too much, I can always exercise, swim, play water volleyball, frisbee, or cards to maintain a healthy equilibrium.

Well, that is about all I can think of currently. I will try to update everyone on a more regular basis in the future.
