Thought for the day

Well, i am almost done with my first week back to school.  i am definitely enjoying being back in the academic setting again.  Honestly, i do not have quiet the excitement that i had last year, but none the less, i am still excited about it.  i believe that my schedule, this semester, is going to allow me to do all of the things that i need to do.  Yesterday, i did my "shop and drop" of my classes.  i always register for one class more than i intend to take so that i can get a feel of the class, what it needs from me and how much of my time will be invested.  Having to take some of the general education classes again, this is a good strategy because i still have plenty of time to fill those voids.  And, at some point during the semester, i will be arguing with the registrar's office about my credits but that's for another day.  Since, in one of my social work classes, i need to get in 40 hours of volunteer work by the end of November, taking 5 classes and working a part time job will be too much.  So, dropping one of my gen ed classes works well for me and frees up my schedule so that i will be able to get it all done.  It will be an extremely busy semester for me, but i look forward to the challenge!
