get a college degree

I was looking at the requirements I still must meet in order to graduate, and calculated that if I take 4 courses each quarter for the next 5 quarters, I can graduate NEXT SUMMER. This is very exciting news for me, because it’ll be the first thing I have completed in my adult life that I can be proud of and actually talk about (as opposed to things I have done that I am proud of, but not everyone would see why…). I am very excited, and I am willing to work very hard and put in many hours in order to complete a B.A. finally. Godspeed to me!

I have to admit: I’m jealous of all my friends who are graduating this year. I’m 22 years old and I’ve hardly made any progress toward my degree. I still don’t even know exactly what I want to do. I’m not going to give up, though. I’m determined to have a bachelor’s degree in my name! :)

I will graduate in June of 2010, I wanted to finish school before I turned 50, but it was not to be. At least I’m going to finish it, and I am determined to do this!

I want a college degree, I alswasy have I just never did it. I work full time right now and barely have energy to shower at night, so no, I won’t take night classes. I can’t take day classes due to my job. I guess I am going to start doing online courses then…it makes sense, its the easiest way for me to do it I guess. I coudn’t apply for the perfect job for me because I didn’t have a college education…bummer huh?

Many small steps to meet this goal. It feels like a quest: obtaining transcripts and scores, filling out the application, registering for required classes to meet admissions requirements – all before even being accepted! There’s still applying for financial aid and scholarships, moving, and of course, the actual time involved to obtain the actual degree. The longest journey begins with the first step, but how about the safe cozy feeling of having some distance between present location and the beginning? More miles, please!

I have been at this now for the past 8 years, I have two semesters to go. I need to finish the damm B.S. in Economics and stop talking BS!!!!

It took me three different schools spanning over 9 years, but I finally did it. I have a B.A. in Anthropology and Creative Writing from the University of South Florida. (I also have an A.A. in Liberal Arts from Hillsborough Community College.)

And I’ve decided to go towards a B.A. in psychology =)

I think this is going to be a very fun journey…I can’t wait to see where it goes!

I have taken some courses, but I would love to put something besides “some college” in the box for “Education.” Bachelor of Arts, or a degree in English is my goal.

I want to improving my english with your help.
