Wow! All of them!
I won't get into how bittersweet that will be...that is another entry for another day.
But having all of my kids in school leaves me with an interesting new phenomena...TIME.
Time for myself, by myself doing what makes me happy. It will mean a clean house--at least between the hours of 8 and 3:30!
So in the interest of enjoying my new time I decided to do another semester of online classes. Thankfully, I still have plenty of options--I only need to be on campus for Biology and Math.
Jeff was telling me to take the semester off and just enjoy myself after 11 years of being a stay-at-home-mom, but that seems...well, not something I'm interested in doing. I fear that if I take a semester off, I will not want to go back.
School is hard work, doubly so online as deadlines are firm (no exceptions), there is no professor to bounce questions and ideas off of (though they are always available by phone, email and office meetings) and frankly, you have to be freakishly disciplined to get through each course. I spend a lot of time with my face in my books and computer reading lectures, watching video lectures, listening to taped lectures. And while it is difficult, I like using my brain.
So next semester I will continue with online classes for one more semester!
Cross your fingers that I am able to secure:
Philosophy
Cultural Anthropology
Economics I
Interpersonal Communication
I can study with my new-found time...
Studying without interruption? Sounds like heaven!
