School daze

I am having some issues getting this school stuff together. Since I'm on the back end of my degree there are not many classes I have left to take. I think this summer will be the last summer that I will be able to take classes towards my degree. Only 3 classes I need are being offered: swimming 1 and 2 and muscular skeletal anatomy, and I plan on taking them this summer. I guess I got to really step this exercise up more and more cuz me and swim suits don't get along. Physics 2 is being offered too but even if I took the class by itself I couldn't work a 40 hour week which is what my higher ups look at.

As far as the fall, I run into the problem of all the classes I need being offered at just about the same time. Every class is a MWF class :0( To keep my financial aid I have to take at least 6 hours so I really think I am going to take a filler class like Sign Language. It's not part of my grad requirements but I want to learn how to sign so it won't be a total waste. I have a clue of what I can take and still work my 40 but I don't think my higher ups will like it. I spent some time checking stuff out online and I don't have many options. If I can just get an okay for the summer and fall I will be good. Feb. 1 I plan on starting my new gig in a medical setting.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can last till 2/2008 cuz my motivation to come here still dwindles by the day. Monday night I went to bed late and made the choice to sleep until 6:30, which is usually the time I am out the door or already at the daycare. I forgot to change the alarm back to my normal time yesterday and naturally got up a tad after 5 even after going to bed early. Think I rushed? Nope. I treated this morning as if it was a weekend. I cooked breakfast, sat and pondered over what classes I should take and figuring out how my work hours, watched the news, etc...I mean I didn't get to work too late. I got in at 7:30 but my motivation is bleh.

The only reason I am not looking elsewhere now is because in 08 I become vested w/the state and even though I don't completely know what that means, I do know my benefits and options increase and that is good enough for me. The coworkers that changed jobs before me all pretty much advised me that that is the route I want to take. I believe them.

As for today, I am just glad to be employed w/a decent job that pays the bills.

You are going to be fine when you start back again. Sure the transition will be a tad shaky but it will pan out and you will get your flow.

At the very least you are working somewhere that is related to your career. That is a big help. Your on a good path.

Thank you DNT.

Now I got Dr. Angelou on the brain! LOL I hope you're right. I look at my pictures of my kid on my desk and contantly remind myself that I have to go through the proper process for me and for her.
