finish my masters degree

As my final semester quickly approaches, I just registered for my final term. The next step is the final tuition bill – thankfully it is before tuition will jump again in my state. Hurray! It’s in sight!

Hmmm…. What’s that weird feeling? Could it be optimism?

Talked to the Program Director at my potential new uni. Depending on whether / how much advanced standing I get on my previous courses, she says I can grad in three to five courses plus a mini-thesis.

That’s better than I thought!

Most importantly, the school seems ready to accommodate and generally student-oriented.

I am still exploring whether it makes sense to switch schools/programs. Since my last entry, I’ve received a transcript from my former school.

I have also set up an appointment so will be traipsing about on campus again soon. In fact, in early June, I’ll be meeting with the Program Director at a potential new university. Hope there is something that works out!

I’ve finished the first year of the two-year program. I think the second year is going to fly by! I’m excited to be done and to see where this takes me.

Well, I screwed up a bit, but am officially done with the requirements for my ninth class. I may not end up with the grade I want, but it’ll be good enough. I’m just glad I caught my mistake before the term ended, so that I at least gave myself the chance to make up for it, even if it won’t count for anything.
Nine classes done; five to go. Bring it on!

Tonight I stayed up late to finish off my paper for my eighth class. That’s right, I’m up to 8/14 completed—not bad!! :)

I finished my first of the three classes I took this term. That puts me at my half-way mark: seven out of fourteen classes completed! I feel relieved to be done, and am now more eager than ever to finish my other courses. I might finish one tonight if the motivation holds up.

Seriously considering switching programs… Which is probably something I should have examined as a possibility sooner! Anyway, I’ve requested a copy of my transcript from my former university as a first step to potentially transferring to a new school.

My presentation is over, and I passed!

I have three more classes to take and my university always throws some stupid roadblock. I had trouble registering for classes which means I have to go in person and find out what the problem is…also, they kept me from taking classes last semester because I didn’t have a measles shot since 1977- I took care of it- too late for classes and now it seems I’ll never achieve this goal because I’m out of the loop.
