Just Pass Me By » school

Are you freaking kidding me!

admin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 02:28:11 +0000

Okay I am frustrated and rather unhappy with one of my classes! Okay last i looked a final exam was supposed to happen in the final week of class, but I get to do mine this week. It week three. Okay fine! I can do it, No big deal. Throw me a curve ball but it not going to keep me from complaining because your syllabus isn’t as good as a motorcycle gps garmin to let me know what to expect. UGH, I need a road map of sanity for this class! So we had to answer a question that seemed like an opinion, okay no problem I got it. Oh wait it not a opinion, good thing I touch on some things because I seem to be overly detailed or I would have failed it. Okay my perfectionist side of personality is coming out right now, maybe I am a perfectionist in general I expect a lot from myself. I am a straight A student and I worry this class gonna change that, because of the curve ball thrown to me. I knew this class was going to make me go a little crazy when I read the syllabus at the beginning and realizing it was a summer class. Well at least my final exam will be done early! But it just feels wrong to say that.
Okay I am in graduate school, so this is something I can handle. In the real world I will be faced with many challenges I know this, I don’t mind it. I just want things to work in away where I can schedule it with school and it hasn’t been working that way for me.

Reschedule

I have recently started to walk with my friend. I got the greatest gifts for valentines day, I have lost a lot of weight. Close to 16 pounds now, since being gluten free. Mondays are very busy. I get home at noon, practice guitar then go at 1240 for guitar lesson then come home by 2pm. After I get home either I do reading for the week, or spend time with my hubby. I had told my friend we could walk on Monday at first then realized wait its just to busy for me. We can walk Sunday, Wednesday, Friday and this would be easier.
Sundays normally I finish up my homework and submit my assignments. I do everything by a schedule, I divide up all my assignments to keep things manageable. This week I didn’t plan the way I should have I have 2 papers wrote and another 2 to write, which I need done by Friday before I take dad.

Back to school

I found a school for my Master program. I was looking for a school which was on line but at the same time accredited in Minnesota and a couple of other states. Well I found one, their graduation rate is not very high but it’s master level so maybe I can’t expect a high rate of success. The school other then being done on line is traditional in class room sitting, which means I will have to download the lectures and do a bunch of reading my cost for just 2 classes is 200, and that with saving 100 for webcam which I already have in my computer. Thank goodness for that because the last thing I need is credit cards to pay for this. I need 4 books, one book I have already but its the last edition so I will have to email the person and ask him if I can use the 5th edition instead of the 6th edition. I am wondering in the back of my mind I got the 5th addition over 5 years ago, so wondering how much has changed with APA writing format. Thank goodness I do not need to relearn MLA or what ever it is called like another college.
I found out because of being a Graduate level school I do not get any grants, but can do loans and scholarships, time to start getting serious about scholarships apply.
The class I have will at least relate closer to my job then my business management degree did, so I am excited but nervous at the same time. I am bummed because I had to find a new school but sometimes you need a new beginning, and can’t wait for a program to get started, maybe one day I will be able to teach there after I get some experience and help other people with the same goal as me get there. I ended up Choosing Bellevue University, so I will write more about what I think after starting my program. I start classes the end of this month and will be full-time, good bye game time.

What to do

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:39:24 +0000

I have now been out of school for 6 months, and I want to go back for my Master in Counseling or Social work. I wish I could get some of my counseling degree completed partly with a online degree would make it easier for me to complete my education. I completed my bachelors using Online, flexnet and campus at a extension campus at the UOP so I want to stay there I had a great experience there and do not want to leave it. I guess my options are to wait a long time for them to start their program or to find another school.
I stay in touch with one of the Alumni people from the school, and we talk sometimes but I just want to get it start and done. I want to start doing what I feel I ought to be doing for a career.

Not sure what to do

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:26:17 +0000

To be honest, I am not sure how to solve my problem. I found out the degree I wanted at school has been postponed and they do not know for how long. So now I have 4 options. 1. give up and say to much trouble for school. 2 take the GER testing, and find another graduate program 3. Convince hubby it would be good to move closer to the school or extension campus with the degree program,. 4 Wait until the program comes and figure out how in the world, I will pay off student loans while working part time and care taking for dad.

Recently someone asked me to look at the gmat prep, I wonder if maybe they will have something more for prep. The nice thing about this is I could study when and where I want. Now my worry about taking the GER test is because I am a horrible tester and I worry this could potentially disqualify me for a master program. So this seems like a program that might help with the preparing for testing. GMAT would help me if I wanted management masters, but since i am going into counseling it probably would do me little good. Business management is important I have the undergrad degree in that, but shoot if I am going to get a master in Business management I would be able to remain and not think about now what am I going to do.

They claim you can get up to 50% of your money back, but I am not sure. It seems like a good program to get a person ready for Management testing..

Almost there

I have one more class to go and then I graduate from my Business Management degree. It has been a long few years and I have had to use plenty of web directories list, plenty of websites and I still can not seem to research simple subjects with any success. I entire words they suggest and get so many bad articles it frighting, I think things as far as good information was better when most of it had to be found in the library. The internet seems to be simple so full of useless stuff.
Oh well I am sure if I keep looking I will find something good at least this week it’s one article and studying for the stupid final exam. I hate taking test. I also have a presentation this week. My next step is getting my masters in community counseling or maybe social work depending on a few things and if I change schools.

I will be happy when school is done

admin — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:04:29 +0000

I have to admit that I am starting this class off to a bad start. I am already behind on my assignments for weekone, and can’t get my paper started until I get everything solved on my computer. I don’t want to stat this process and then have nothing but troubles later. Last week I got a call from school, almost wish I wouldn’t have gotten it because now I feel like I have a case of senioritiz. I am so close to being doing with my business management degree and almost will hopefully start my masters right away and get it done with, I might want to take a little while off but I don’t really want to. I have taken a lot of business classes, I wonder how insurance marketing would be for me with my degree, actaully I wouldn’t leave my job if someone gave me a million dollars right now. My masters will be in Family counseling I want to help people, and my job right now I help Autistic children learn daily life skills. So I feel good about what I do.

Graduation day

admin — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 19:03:12 +0000

Yesterday was a pretty good day, except I forgot to feed myself before the ceremony, but it was over by 130ish so it wasn’t to bad. We had a couple of interesting speakers and I was surprised at who the keynote speaker was it was a republican congressman. When I was told it was a politician I have to admit I was worried he’d be a politician that I wouldn’t want to listen to but I have to admit I think the congressman did the 2nd best of the day. I liked our student speaker, she was adorable to say the least.
What I can’t get my name isn’t that hard, but yet everyone says it ondrea, it’s Andrea, but goodness, every one always says on-dray-ah, never and-ray-ah which is how my husband suggest I spell it to get it right. But I guess it got said wrong again oh well, worst things can happen. Plus I am sure I miss say people names all the time too.
I have 3 and 1/2 classes to go and then I will get my diploma, then continue on with a master. I am so close to being done, I am glad but at the same time a little nervous. I am still disappointed in my mom for not coming, but I will have to forgive her and learn I can’t expect her to keep her word. Kind of need to be like a pond pumps and filter out the things which causes disappointment.

Almost to the finish line

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:25:30 +0000

I wish fat burner was easier to do than college is, I been trying to lose weight and feeling a touch unsucessful. But the good news is I am very close to completing my BA in Business Management. I have spend about 2 1/2 years and took a year off because of family troubles. I will be graduating it looks like in September and then have to finish off 3 classes and then I will be done.

I have to decide where to go and what to do for my masters. Do I want to do Counseling or Social work is the question. I found out they are trying to change the laws for what I want to do. I am not sure if I want to do a doctorit to be honest, I am not sure I can make it through another stat class. Stats I have found next to impossible, honestly it one class I don’t care about.

I have to decide on one elective and have about three options to chose from, I am not sure which one I will pick. I feel like everything is so much up in the air and it’s a little frustrating to have things so up in the air. I know what I want to do but now with the change in law I might have to decide something else. I know Social work I would be good at, and I don’t necessarily have to work with children taking them out of the home. The thing is if I do social work and did Child protection services, I would be able to relate just a little to easily. Counseling would be good because I could help people process through things which are hard. Welll I got some time to pray and think about what would be good and time to talk maybe to my employeer. I love my job working specail need children.

What is the end goal

admin — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 02:34:13 +0000

Lately I been wondering what my end goal will be. I know I either want to do couselling or socail work of some type of program. Right now I am doing business mangagement. Lately I been debating what is the end goal. I could do drug rehab

at a few centers, but I know from expereince with my family it is very difficult. I watch my mom struggle with addition and my older sister, for some people they need the rehab for others like my mom they are able to quit on their own when they see just how bad things really are. Grant it, mom waited until she lost her rights to her children but that her mistake and well I forgave her a long time ago from and I am proud of her for being sober now my sister was another story is needed help. It is important if you have a problem with addition to get help expecailly if you can’t leave it behind. Lately my sister and I have been worried about mom because she starting to hang out with the wrong crowd but sis is moving near so she’ll helpfull be able to help mom stay on straight and narrow.

I have been going to the UOP for several months and close to be going with my

degree program, I need to determine if I want to do family counseling throw them or go somewhere else and get a degree in something else. I really like the UOP so I rather stay there, but the question is does their degrees in my State for masters fit my need.
