graduate from college

I’m halfway through the semester…a little more that that actually…so I’m in my second placement and I’m doing pretty well! I got my cap and gown and everything….It freaks me out, thinking about it, but is totally elating as well!! WOW!

Only 7 more days of class plus a final!

taking classes online, only way that makes this possible for me. feels like it is taking forever though! GRRR trying to stick with it.

Well I first started at a private 4 year college, that didn’t suit me, the college was filled to the brim with students who were well off, and I really could care less about that. So I moved to new college after that first year. To begin with my first major when I was going to college was Pre Dentistry, which I know is really not my cup of tea. I ended up changing my major 5 times before I found the right one, I went from pre dental, to biology, to a teaching degree in biology, to technical education, to industrial technology model making, and then finally I found prototype engineering. Which I know sounds grandiose and complicated, but to sum it up, this major gives me the skills and abilities to work on product development by making the very first prototype or model of a product from scratch, it is very exciting to learn about for me. Plus I get to work with my hands, and I love to work with my hands. So here I am at bemidji state university going to the only program of it’s kind in the country, and frankly I can’t see myself doing anything else.

I need to get the student loans in order and then get into school again. I’m 2 classes shy of my Bachelors in Business administration, but my sights have changed over the last 20 years and I now want an MSW. It’s more in line with my talents of working with people to help them make a better life for themselves despite enormous odds against them.

I quit school 23 years ago just two classes shy of my degree. I’ve had a sour taste in mouth for the last 10 of those years.

*I can and will do this. *

This lady got 100% on her midterm. Suckers.

Well it looks like I will complete my final coursework this summer semester (2010). Not the major I planned or want really- want biochem, ending up with psychology- but it’s still a degree. I guess what I am learning in the long process that is my life is that we can often get what we want, just not in the package or way that we expected.
So what’s next? My second BS of course! LOL I am applying to an accelerated BSN program in New Hampshire. I think I am addicted to going to school!

I went from being a straight A student more or less all my life and I’m failing out of college because of a stupid medical condition. This is never going to happen.

Got an AA in Liberal Arts from my local Jr. College and then transfered a few hours away to a university. I dont like it, Feel like I am running in circles and going no where fast. This will be my first, and last semster here. Not worth it, at least at this point in time. Good luck to everybody working on this goal.

Although my performance last semester was less than stellar, I’ve been able to stay on top of everything a lot more effectively this semester. I’m hoping this will make up for spring and bring my GPA back up to where I’m accustomed to it having it.
