I ordered my sociology CLEP guide in December and I didn’t receive it until almost the middle of January. Then when I went to register to take the test, there was an almost three week wait. That slot was after a work weekend where I worked 24 of 48 hours. I woke up feeling like crap and with a headache to boot. Miraculously, I passed the test.
Sociology down, only 3 prereqs left.
Next step: Developmental Psych CLEP. Goal: Clep Developmental Psych by March 1.
Hopefully I’m on my way to starting my program of study in May. 5 days ago
Well, it took me over 10 years to make the decision to go to uni and now I’m just about to enter into my final year of my degree. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone.
For some reason when I was younger I thought I was ‘too dumb’ to get a degree and that it was just a pipe dream. Well, over the past 2 years I have come to realise that I’m not ‘too dumb’ and in fact I give myself far less credit than I deserve.
So, I have 1 final year left and when I graduate at the end of the year I know that I will feel so proud of myself – I can’t wait for that day. The semester starts back this week – wish me luck! And the best of luck for everybody else out there striving towards your own academic goals this year. 1 week ago
Last semester was hard. It was the reality check that I anticipated it would be. I am glad it is over and that I am ready to really focus on this. I have to be much more disciplined this semester. It helps that I am enrolled in classes that are interesting to me. 2 weeks ago
Long road getting here. But I’m finally enrolled in the right school. I can finish online towards my target degree and continue working also. 2 weeks ago
I’m enrolled and attending classes again! It’s going to take a long time but it is totally worth it. 4 weeks ago
Yay so I got accepted as a fulltime student and now i will be closer to finishing my degree. Instead of taking one or two courses a semester i will be taking a full course load. I am a lil worried though because of the money situation and how i am going to pay for rent. I do have some govt grants, which is going to help me tremendously.
I am also nervous because I also got back my “disease” chronic idiopathic urtcaria.. thats gonna suck. I am going to try and not let it effect my studies. Because of this condition, I really need to take care of myself and pace myself. No more overnight cramming. I have to stay focused and on schedule with my studies and I got to go to bed on time. I really hope this will resolve quickly. 4 weeks ago

When I was little I didn’t think it would be. I figured I’d go down the path that I was supposed to as a good and sensible middle class kid, graduate by the time I became a legal adult and get a nice job. I didn’t really expect to be diverted from this very average path somewhere along the way. At that time I was much too young and naive to realize that life throws everybody curveballs once in a while, and that what people think of as average is quite often a cushy ideal rather than a genuine representation of averageness.
But I still have my dreams. I still have my ambitions. Just that they’re a little different now. I’ll get there sometime soon, and it all starts with completing my degree. 1 month ago
A fairly epic task.
I ran away from Napier with a diploma and now I feel it’s time to start saving up the pennies to get that Bachelors.
I’ve really thought things over and, in a “if I don’t get where I want to be with my writing” kind of way, I really want to be a history teacher.
So I’m going to get my BA, then get my MA and then see where we’re up to.
I’m looking at the university of Melbourne, as they’ll take the credits I already have and let me major in history on a Bachelor of Arts course. Spending 2012 paying off my overdraft from the UK and saving up for this next phase in my life.
Wish me luck! 1 month ago
