college update

ok so this is my spring semester schedule. (don't know why they call it spring when it starts in january lol)

*dev math 0310~8-9:20
*music appreciation~9:30-10:50
*dev reading II 0310~11-12:20
*microcomputer applications~2-3:20 lab-3:30-4:50

so those 2 developmental classes will complete the developmental series.. so that will be the last of those for me! after you pass those then you can take any class you want. which means starting nursing pre-reqs for me. :) i will use the same book for math that i have now... which makes sense because it's huge and cost $160! lol. they have book buybacks next month so i think i will get some of my money back for two of the books i have now. the music appreciation class is actually one of the pre reqs for nursing. you have to have an art credit because they want you to be a well rounded person or whatever. so the counselor told me i should just get it over with now.. and i chose that class because i took it in high school... so i already know alot of the composers and different types of music.. so hopefully it will be easy for me. the computer class just teaches you about all of the computer programs (word, powerpoint, office, excel, etc.) i know word and powerpoint good but not the others. she recommended that class so my transcript would have variety you know. i'm going the same days of the week that i do now. and i have a longer day but i will make it... i have a long break in between though from 12:20-2 and right now i only have 12:20-1. so i'm def going to take advantage of that time to do homework and stuff. i hope i like all of my teachers like i do this year... my friend had the math teacher i'm gonna have and she said she was really good. so i can only hope for the best! lol. i'm going to have 12 credit hours for this semester and then next semester i will have 13 because the computer class is worth 4 credits. so 25 credits for my first year wont be too shabby. :)

so the plan after the spring semester is start nursing pre reqs in fall of '09. (i'm considering taking one or two classes in the summer of '09... just because the more pre reqs you have done the better it looks when you apply for the nursing program). then in jan of '10 i will apply for the nursing program.. even though i will still be taking pre reqs that semester.. you don't find out if you are accepted or not until may. it will be so nervewracking! lol. and then i can only pray i will be starting nursing classes september of 2010. but that is still a ways away so i'm not even gonna worry about it! lol.

the tuition is $754 (it went up. sadface. lol.) but with all of the other fees and such that they throw in there it's $947 total. and i have over $1000 in savings so i have more than enough and you have to pay by jan 7th. i'm just gonna write them one big fat check so i don't have to worry about making payments! haha. i will just start saving for the next semester.

anyway.... besides school and work i don't have anything else going on that i can think of... i can't believe thanksgiving is in like two weeks. i think my reading teacher said we have thanksgiving week.. then another week of classes then the next week is finals! the end of the semester is coming quick! i'm not telling my boss i want to work during christmas break. LOL. i want some time off! i just want to work my regular hours.. oh and today will be 5 months that i have been working there... time has gone fast! sad thing is i still have 7 months till i can get pto. :( LOL.

so i guess that is all for now!

sounds like you're rolling right along! man, you stay pretty busy. you're doing good though. I bet you're excited about starting the nursing program, but it's good that you're staying focused on what you have to do before you get there. Good job on saving too! Well, hope we see you soon. Have a really good week. love ya.
