the semester is over!

Published May. 12, 2008

I haven't really "bonded" with anyone in particular on Golo, but I just had to say I survived another semester! I just finished my final exam for my online class! I am so happy!

I figured there is probably somebody out there in Golo land that understands what it is like to be an adult student with a family having to work full time while taking classes that understands where I am coming from. It is so hard to stay motivated to get my degree when I can only take 2 or 3 classes at a time.

Anyway, hooray! Now, maybe I can read a book (for fun), clean the basement, plant my butterfly garden, learn how to put a picture on my blog, sleep late without guilt . . . until next semester. LOL

You can do it! One thing I did for inspiration was to print the list of classes I needed to take, and at the start of each semester, I would highlight the ones I was taking that semester, counting them as finished. It was exciting to see that list get more and more highlighted! Kept it on the fridge or bathroom mirror...

Wow! You must have had an interesting range of assignments to complete. The chemistry course would have taken up all of my energy; it was never my strong point.

This semester I had chemistry, English and industrial safety (ugh - it is in my curriculum unfortunately - biotech/lab tech dual major). I really struggle sometimes with sticking with it, but I figure stretching it out is better than not doing it at all.

I actually have not started the garden yet. I started looking up what plants to use today. I started out with the idea of just attracting hummingbird but figured I would add some flowers for butterflies also.

Congratulations! Relax for a few weeks (days) and then focus! It will all be done soon, and behind you! Yayyyy!!!

I'm right there with you, Tap! I just finished taking my last class. Motivation is hard. I keep motivational sayings all over the place -my office, textbooks, in the car- to keep going. At least I've been too busy to get involved in "golodrama", that's got to be worth it. LOL! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!

Congratualtions to you...I can't see how you find the time and energy to do it as an adult. It would kill me. So glad you're doing well ! Keep on keepin' on !

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! I'm getting ready to do the exact same thing

I worked on my Masters at night for three years while teaching during the day and being a parent, too. We posted a lot of assignments online and via email. My instructor commented that most of my work came in after midnight. That was the only time that I could write in a quiet setting. :-)

What classes are you taking?
