*Deep breath*
It's taken all day (who am I kidding I was up at 2 in the
morning putting the bookcase together) but I think I've finally worked out a
schedule for my classes that won't kill me (or at the very least will kill me
slowly). Part of me knows I'm WAY over my head here (it's been 12 years since I
took a full college load & then I had an awesome support system) but I also
know this is pretty much my last chance at becoming a productive member of
society again (unless I win the lottery & then all bets are off :) ).
All the big "experts" say when you're making big
changes you need to 'put it out there'. The idea behind that is so that
hopefully those close to you will keep you on track and support you as well as
hold you accountable. So here is my game plan for the fall semester:
- Sunday - Football
- Monday - COM 110 (Introduction to Communication)
- Tuesday - Look for a job
- Wednesday - HIT 114 (Health Data Systems and Standards)
- Thursday - tutoring, job searching & COM on campus class
- Friday - BIO 165 (Anatomy & Physiology I)
- Saturday - MED 122 - Medical Terminology II
The idea is to spend the entire day doing the work for the
week due that week, studying, catching up, yadda yadda yadda.
I've also had to sign up for a study group (hasn't met yet) that I need
to add into the mix at some point. The online classes (HIT 114, BIO 165,
and MED 122) have online exams that I will require I adjust my schedule a
little bit. Most of them are no more than 60 minutes long (and trust me
that's not as long as you might think it would be) so that shouldn't be too
much of a problem.
...and of course if I'm offered a job - this entire schedule
could be (as Yosemite Sam used to say) blown to smithereens! (Job gods, don't
let my work today stop you from making a reasonable offer.).
