The fall semester begins Monday. I am really looking forward to it. It is going to be a really busy semester but hopefully that means it will go by quickly. I am taking nine hours while working full time. It was either nine hours this semester or nine hours next so I decided to do nine this time and coast to the finish line with just six hours next semester. That is right. I graduate in May of 2013 with my Bachelor's in Business Administration, Human Resource Management. Five more classes stand between me and that degree! Of course, then I have to decide where I would want to work but I am putting that off of my radar for now.
I have worked so hard for this. Working full time and going to school part time can be a tricky business. I have maintained a 3.90 GPA since I started back in the fall of 2010. Night classes followed by a 30 minute drive home sometimes become very tiresome. Never seeing my husband because of class or studying has been a real sacrifice. The housework definitely suffers (my hubby takes care of stuff but sometimes you just feel you have to do it yourself.) Thankfully, I have a wonderful support system. My boss for allowing me to skip lunch hours so I can leave early to study for a test and for helping me work around my school schedule. Thank you! My husband, who has become quite the cook, makes sure I study and do my homework and is so supportive of my dreams...and proud of me for trying to accomplish them. My parents and grandparents (and the rest of my wonderful family) who knew I could do it (but I am sure wished I had done it sooner!) And my dear friends and church family who always cheer me on and congratulate me when I get an A on a test I am sure I failed. So many students have no support system and I don't know how they do it other than their internal motivation!
I am truly blessed by the people in my life. I love you all.
