I thought I could pull it off. Two online classes plus two in class audits, how hard could it be?
Apparently a lot harder than I anticipated. These online classes are taking ALL of my free time and after I sit through these fairly intense lectures on Anatomy and Microbiology the last thing I want to do is read difficult philosophy or religion texts and write about them. I think I am going to have to give up on the auditing. As much as I think it would be helpful to me, I really want to keep my GPA up for my real classes and I just got a B- on my first religion paper. (boo.) I can rewrite it and he gave me suggestions on how to improve it but SHEESH. B-? I have never gotten a B- on an essay before. I really need to focus and with our upcoming schedule it's going to be nearly impossible (houseguests, boating weekends etc.) I understand that these profs feel like they need to cram a semester worth of info into 6 weeks, but do they REALLY have to cram a semester's worth in? I don't think so.
*sigh* I haven't even started my Religion reading yet and I have my first assignment due tomorrow. And I have to write my first Philosophy paper by noon tomorrow and I am really struggling with the text, why can't these people just SPEAK ENGLISH? Fortunately I ran into my Philosophy Prof at GU today and we had a nice chat. He seems to like what I have done so far so I think I will be ok, he gave me some tips on how to write but it is still really hard stuff. He knows that though so I will just do my best.
Ugh. I just want to get to the nursing stuff. Even though that will be hard, at least it will make sense.
I can't imagine, R. Thought about getting a degree in ABA but got overwhelmed looking at the courses I would have to take. You are doing so well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail! I'm feeling overwhelmed right now. I just want to have some time off and I don't know when I am going to get it :( Hopefully next summer! (Which seems like a loooonnnggg way off right now *sigh*)
