I'm finally going back to school (out since Fall 2000). Yay me.

[casavant]

Yep. It's going to be a bitch finding open classes that I want this late in the registration period, but I'm just taking two classes, and at $5 a credit hour, I don't care too much if it's underwater basket weaving just as long as I get my ass back into the fray and get the ball rolling again.

Just thought I'd share.

Good job, cas.

I need to do the same.

 

[beastboy]

Good luck.

Maybe one day I'll try for my Master's.

I'm finally leaving school in April (in since Fall 2000). This has been quite possibly one of the worst experiences of my entire life.

Yeah, I hear ya. I only have 30 hours under my belt. I completed one full year in '98/'99. I came out with a 3.78 GPA, but the pressure of having to keep a 3.5 minimum to retain my biggest scholarship, along with not having any earthly idea where I wanted to take my life made for a pretty miserable experience.

Now I feel that I can have a decent life even while going to school instead of feeling like I'm in hell, and I have more of an idea of what I want to do, so it's not as bad. Still, it's going to suck, but probably not as bad as the ever-increasing feeling that I'm an underachiever with a stagnant life and unrealized potential.

 

[WODIN]

Keep on trucking cas.

$5/credit ??? Is that some sort of employee discount or something? I wish I could get that.

In the same boat as you, going back to school after a long layoff, got my associates degree but decided its not what i want to do for the rest of my life, so back i go with a Biochem major this spring, should be interesting to see if i can handle work,school,life. Best of luck Cas.

I'm a full time appointed staff member at the main library on campus. I even have a title- LAT I, or Library Academic Technician, level I. LOL. So yeah, I get classes for $5 a credit hour plus activity fees, and I can study a little on the job. It's a pretty cool deal. I'll probaby go full time next fall. This is kind of a warmup.
