The Pressure Finally Got to Me!!!

Renda I have no doubt that you can do it and do it well.

Hang in there and thanks for the remind of the cigar boxes. I remember mine.

Thanks!

Awww....don't back out!

It's scary..that's for sure. But really, you can do this. School as an adult isn't like it was when you were younger. And, it's probably even different for you than for me since, you know, you have a few years I don't yet...

You can do this.

Now, I've got to go out and buy some knee socks, a new pack of crayons and wonder if I can find a cigar box?

I have an old cigar box I would sell for $100. I think it's antique.

Me on the other hand...I'm 100% convinced I'm 100% crazy. lol (working 40 hours, babysitting 25 to 40 hours, tutoring on the side, taking 12 college credits, and single parenting 4 kids)

If you are not crazy now, you will be soon. When do you sleep, in class?

Sleep? What is this thing you speak of?

11 pm to 5 am, give or take. I don't work weekends (for now...I may have to add that in though just to keep the rent paid..bleh).

And I micro manage my time. Which is, of course, why I'm posting here right now. lol (I actually just finished an assignment for a class, a week early..YEAH!!)

I also am *very* cautious when I schedule my classes. This semester, I'm taking 12 credits..but it's split up pretty conveniently. I'm taking Texas Govt the first 8 weeks, US Govt the second 8 weeks. That's 6 credits that aren't at the same time. I'm taking US History all 16 weeks. And I'm taking Intro to Psych 12 weeks, starting in Feb. I'll never have more than 3 classes at the same time. And they're all online. The two I've already started also have the added advantage of being *self paced*. I'm overjoyed...I'm going to try to finish up one of the classes before psych starts in Feb. I might be able to keep myself to 2 classes at a time if I can manage my time well. There is quite a bit of writing for both of these though, it may stretch out my finish date a little, but that's ok. I'll live. I've taken more credits, and more intense classes too, and managed to survive.

This is my second "career" semester fully distance. I love it, but next semester I'll be stuck in a classroom again. For some reason no one offers higher math classes online...silly people.
