Spring 2010 1 week ago

I spoke with a counselor andddd… I will be able to graduate in the spring! On time!

Hooray!



and more importantly stop lying to friends and family about having done so. 1 week ago

When i first moved away to college I became so wrapped up in all of the new experiences and freedoms that I neglected why I was there in the first place. As I have matured, I know that finishing school isn’t just about the education, it is about finishing something I started, obtaining personal skills and broadening my horizons. I am so ashamed when I learn that friends have completed school or are working on professional degrees that I ‘lie to kick it’. Now I am almost 30 and still in school struggling in a math class that should have been done ages ago and wondering where the past 29 years have gone.

Taking another course this summer 1 week ago

In total, I will have taken nine credit hours by the time I start UMD in the fall. I might actually be able to graduate “on time”, if I do winter classes like I want to.



Starting again in the Fall. Started in 2000. :-( 3 weeks ago

I have to get this done. It’s manadatory. Not having one causes a huge confidence issue for me. I am very smart. Honestly, after weighing my reasons for not finishing as of yet, my ruling is: I am lazy, and weak at times. I will get through this.

motivation for hw is low 4 weeks ago

Because the reading is boring. It is also repetitively arduous. I am just wading through pages of text thinking “there must be a better way!”

As quick as I can 4 weeks ago

...Without burning out again. And get along in my new living situation.

Kind of a compromise on the statement “don’t just live, thrive.” Though I’m not sure why it’s a compromise. Maybe doing it quickly is the compromise. But that desire doesn’t just come from my dad, I think I want to be done, too. There’s still a lot of work to do but I have to enjoy it the best I can. That will make it go faster.



first day high! 1 month ago

Yesterday was my first day back in school. I can’t believe it’s actually happening for me now. Since, I am balancing my job with my studies I am feeling a bit of pressure with time management. I got to talk to one of my professors today, as I was late for class because of the horrible traffic. She was really cool about it and made an arrangement with me so I don’t have to attend class all the time. I just had to submit certain requirements and of course pass the exams. So glad it’s working out for me so far. =)
