Drama (most of which played out on Facebook & Twitter via status changes and comments) was rampant, but in the end I managed to get registered for one class this summer! I am taking a psychology course as my first step on the road to being a registered nurse.
A week or so ago, I found out that the summer course offerings were very slim this year. The only ones offered were a computer class (which was my first choice), a math class, and a psych class. Since I’m limited to distance ed right now, this wasn’t great news. All were available online, but there was only 1 section available for some of them and everything was full. I found a substitute class I could take for my math, but it was an extra hour (which meant additional tuition) and the book was more expensive. So it really wasn’t going to work. After I threw a drama queen hissy fit, I pouted for a bit and decided I just wasn’t going to even try to take summer classes. I would save the money I’d budgeted and try to take more classes later on.
And then spaces started opening up in those classes. And I figured I’d at least go to registration and see if I could get into one of them. I gopt there before it even started, and there were already a lot of people ahead of me. As time ticked away, I just knew my classes were going to be full and I was going to be SOL. (That’s sh*t out of luck for those who don’t know.) When I got in there and told the advisor what I wanted, she shook her head to my 1st two as she checked them, but by some miracle, the psych class was open. So I’m enrolled, paid for, and I’ve bought my book.
After that was done we hit Walmart for some prescription ibuprofen for my poor knee and a few household items we needed, and then my wonderful husband treated me to a “college student’s lunch” at Taco Bell. I can’t believe I’m doing this again! Maybe this time I’ll do a much better job of focusing on classes rather than partying…
