My next class starts Monday, but I can get a jump start this weekend if I want. It's called Sensation and Perception and sounds really boring. At least there is no research paper this time. I don't have time for one of those right now. I'm moving in 10 days and still have a lot to pack. 

Sounds potentially interesting i'd say, but then a subject title is not much to go on..who teach and curriculums has a lot to say

[LilyElizabeth]

I was right. It's very boring. But it's only 4 more weeks. 

[Ryrin]

I knew it too.

I survived it. Got a B, too. It was amazingly boring. I'm going to get with my Academic Advisors and find out what I still need for my degree. It's getting close. 8 more classes, I think.

It’s hard to focus on mind numbing material. 
 

Congrats on the B.

Good going..almost there as you say hopefully the rest will be more entertaining

[LilyElizabeth]

I met with my academic advisor and I only have 31 credits to graduate - 27 if I can get the syllabus from my Astronomy class I took at community college. They need to see that it was a lab science. Going part time, that's five semesters. Almost there!

[Niniel]

Well done! 

[Liitha]

good going, hope you can get the papers of your other class

You are definitely getting closer to the finish line. You can do it, Lily.

[LilyElizabeth]

Thanks, DJ. I'll be glad when it's over, except then I'll have student loans to pay off. 

[LilyElizabeth]

It's been a while since I posted on here. I'm down to 7 classes to go. My graduation date is December of 2022. I can't wait, although I am considering grad school at this point. We'll see. 

[Illian Tear]

Congrats. I actually just graduated High School, so I'll be on the same path soon.

[LilyElizabeth]

Congratulations!

[LilyElizabeth]

I haven't posted here in a while. 

 

I am nearly finished with my Social Psychology class (one more week! Yay!) After that I have one more year till I graduate. I'm excited but not excited about having to pay my student loans back, considering I'm not planning to get a higher paying job. I love what I do!

[Ryrin]

I’m glad you found the place you want to be. I think most of us in human service have to come to terms that the money will never be as high as those who work with “things.”

[LilyElizabeth]

I totally forgot about this thread! I graduated with my BA in December. I haven't seen my degree in the mail yet, though. Still, I am a college grad now!

[Ryrin]

Congrats! I’m so happy for you! 

[LilyElizabeth]

Thank you

Thank you

I remembered when you started. It doesn’t seem that long ago. 

[LilyElizabeth]

It does to me!

 

I have finally made a decision about grad school. Once my daughter is handling three boys on her own (with her husband, of course, but he works long hours), I will go for one semester. If I handle it, I will keep going. If it's too much, I will drop out after the one semester. I have been concerned how I will handle going to school full-time and working full-time. The only way to know is to try it. 

[LilyElizabeth]

I changed my mind. It's not financially worth the debt I would go into for the few years I have left to work. It would cost me more than I would make. So, no grad school. 

[Ryrin]

That sounds wise.
