Finishing My College Adventure

Well, after the financial aid drama (which I finally got!) and the pure adjustment to doing homework again, I have finished my spring semester and only have one semester left. I will be taking 2 classes over the summer and then I will be done! I can’t put into words how truly excited and proud of myself I am. I have spent years telling the kids that not getting my BA was the biggest regret of my life. And it has affected my self-esteem all of these years because I failed (literally). But actually going back and finishing? That was just a ridiculous and intimidating idea. And honestly, if I had tried any sooner, I don’t think I would have been able to stick with it. There were a couple of false re-starts in my late 20’s, after all. I don’t know what got me to finally pull the metaphorical trigger but I’m so glad I did.

Summer School

I’m not looking forward to this summer. I have to take Research Methods Lab and I’m dreading it. Somehow, I took the class already but not the lab. 🤷‍♀️ Even though, I registered as soon as I could, the online class was already full. Well, crap. So I put myself on the waiting list and hoped for the best. I also decided to enroll in an on-campus class, as a safety net. That’s when I learned that you can’t be waitlisted in one class and enroll in another. So I was kicked off of the waiting list and by the time, I could add myself back, I was the last of 24 people. So guess who is going on campus?? This girl! But guess who has a full-time job?? Also, this girl! (I also have an online sociology class to take but I’m looking forward to that one.)

Luckily, it is the summer and work will be lighter so it shouldn’t be an issue. So yeah, I will be in an undoubtedly really boring class two days a week from 9:30 to 12:00. Ugh. This will be quite a time-consuming 1 credit course. Ha.

But then I will graduate!

Here’s To The Future!

I don’t know whether I will move up to a teaching position at the school I work at now or if I will end up at a different school but I do know that I will suddenly have many more options. The future is looking brighter. And after all this studying, I am a little brighter, too. 😁

The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.
