I´m working on it…
How to get my degree
It made me
Accomplished! 
"A lot of hard work!"
How I did it: Double majored at UCSD for four years got a BA in Communication, and Political Science: American Politics...took a year straight of summer school, sometimes 5 classes a quarter. Lots of reading & writing! Now I'm trying to get my BSN and become an RN!
Lessons & tips: +Stay motivated.
+Use a planner.
+Work hard, but play harder, or else you'll burn out.
+Stay on track, it's easier to keep getting through it instead of putting it off.
+Don't procrastinate! I definitely did and it was stressful!

Just got off the phone with the University and my application is going to be processed over the next couple of days. Yahoo. This is exciting. Next step is to get in contact with the various other institutes that I have gotten credit from and have my credits transfered over. One step at a time.

Now I have my resume finished in as much detail as I could put together. Gathered up all of my diplomas and course certificates and it’s a package thats a lot thicker than I thought. Got to work and the first thing that I did was fax off my application to the University. It’s really happening and I’m excited. This morning I am going to go through he policies at work and prove to my supervisor that I am eligible for the grant program through work.

Just got off of the phone with the Business Program Advisor. I am so excited about it. I have to apply to the program and then I email the campus a copy of a detailed resume. The cost of applying is nominal and the first stage of the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition is free. Now I’m off to start detailing that resume.

Just downloaded all of the forms for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) in order to have my work and volunteer experience credited towards my degree. What a lot of paper work.

Just contacted my supervisor and found out that my brother was given %100 reimbursement for his education. Because my degree applies directly to my employment, I am sure that they will be able to see the value. I am now going to draft up a letter to my boss for him to consider.
