Alright, so yesterday didn't go as well as I had planned. I knew automatically that I wouldn't be passing the algebra portion. I just don't get it, I don't understand how things are done. Not to mention, it's been 7 years since I was in school. But what I didn't plan on was not passing the essay. Well, I didn't exactly fail, I did get a 2, but it meant that I had to take Eng 10: Basic Writing instead of moving on to English 11: College Writing. It's not so bad, it just means I have to start at the very bottom and work my way up.
So I go to my advisor whom I've been assigned and he says "Good news you passed two, bad news you failed two. So this is what we are going to do, put you in math and english but you won't get credit for your degree. You like Psychology, oh okay we put you in Psychology." I was horribly distraught. I didn't even get to pick the times that were good for me, he just went ahead and registered me for it. I took my schedule to the book store and they gave me my book list and the prices. I was just in a foul mood afterwards. Taking math this semester definitely wasn't on my plan of how I wanted my college experience to go. And I certainly didn't want to pay for three classes and only get credit for one in one semester.
When Jeff came to pick me up, I discussed this with him and he told me I could change and drop my classes on the website. I felt better instantly, I was able to pick the classes I wanted, but they had to be night classes. I definitely didn't want to loose out on how much I was able to work, but I agreed to it. So after we visited my little nephew [Colby is doing fantastic! Such a little squirmer!] and sitting in the NICU waiting room, I opened up Jeff's laptop and changed my courses. First, I dropped Math. It was a prerequisite course, so I didn't need to take it this semester anyhow. Then I added History 11 which is all the history of the world up until the Renaissance. And changed my Psychology course to a night class. I was lucky my English class was already scheduled for night. I felt even better after fixing it.
As I was looking up the bookstore hours and maybe see if the Professors had posted the books we need on the website somewhere, I realized that my history class was split on two nights. Not only does that mean less time I'm able to work, but that my class will end in mid October as opposed to mid December like all of my other classes. I frantically fought to find another History class that maybe was before one of my other classes, but the effort proved to be fruitless. In the end, I ended up switching my class schedule again. But, not as drastically as one might think. Instead of History 11 [which is required for my degree] I am taking History 12 [which is also required]. History 12 is just from the Renaissance to the present, so it's the second half of the class. But the good news is, I don't have to take History 11 first, I just have to eventually take it. So my class schedule is all set. I am ecstatic to be going to school.
So, my availability for work and school is as follows:
Monday : [Work] 8a.m. - 3p.m. [Class] History 4p.m. - 7p.m.
Tuesday: [Work] 4:30p.m. - 10p.m.
Wednesday: [Work] 4:30p.m. - 10p.m.
Thursday: [Work] 8a.m. - 3p.m. [Class] Psychology: 4p.m. - 7p.m.
Friday: [Work] 8a.m. - 3p.m. [Class] English: 7p.m. - 10p.m.
Saturday: [Work] 8a.m. - 10p.m.
Sunday: [Work] 8a.m. - 7p.m.
That's how it's going. I even have my school supplies list already and set to get. I'm just really excited. Jeff's gonna drop by the bookstore with my updated schedule so that I can have an updated list of the books I need. Well that was yesterday, and today I get to work again. Another 6 days working. Sigh...
