I wish. I got roped into going back to school for my bachelor's degree. I've been spending a while trying to work it out.  Someone call me crazy |

I won't call you crazy, do you want to go back to school?

Will you post your updated bio on the board? Or is it sill in development.

It's in the character registration thread, I'm not exactly done with it, but it's up there.
I do and I don't want to go back to school.

I must have been really tired when I looked the first time.
Its a hard choice to make for sure.
What was your first impression when it (going back to school) was suggested to you?

It's ok. It's been hidden up there for quite a while, and I had just edited it before I posted in here. Disbelief. I really wanted to wait a bit before going back to school, but the school is offering a 40% discount (but I can't have that and the scholorship they offered me  ) . The major problem is cost and time. I now work a full time job. I also know that going full time at school will result in me probably either going crazy or not doing well. But if I don't go full time, or close to it, I lose out on financial aid. |

That is a hard decision. But its one only you can make.

It is a hard choice to make and Sarina is right, lots of things to think about. It is a good discount. But do you buy everything that is on sale, just because its a sale? You had already made plans to work, and go back later. Do you enjoy your job? Whatever you decide, feel the choice, make the choice from your heart not your head, and you'll be happier.

I swear, I think I'll never be happy.
But I'm used to school. I'm going to go half time.
It'll take me longer but I've only got to take 12 classes to get my degree. They're transferring over my associates degree from my community college, along with my RHIT certification from AHIMA and giving me credits for those. Technically speaking, I could finish this all in 4 semesters if I followed their plan.

Why do you think you will never be happy?
|
|
|
|
Post by Astraea on Aug 17, 2018 2:54:38 GMT -5
Because right when I get used to things, something comes up to throw a wrench in it.
But mostly because there's never enough money.

I agree with you.
Maybe finishing this degree will help change some of that.
Do the courses you have to take look interesting?

I'd love to say yes, but they're making me take an English class. Which ruins everything. Because I can't write professionally. Why not just write a paragraph instead of a three page report. |

Post by Astraea on Aug 20, 2018 15:54:58 GMT -5
Now this is annoying. They'd say I'm getting a 40% discount thanks to the fact that I attended the college I went to for my associates. It's just...they're refusing to put it in.

Post by Capt Anita Thomas on Aug 21, 2018 7:19:09 GMT -5
I agree with you, why write three pages when 3 paragraphs can say the same.
Just so I understand this correctly, they are refusing to give you the 40% discount that they said they would.

No apparently they offer this discount, and then make it so the department in charge of financial aid and stuff like that have difficulty implementing it.
Apparently it's also very normal for them. I'm a little behind all my friends who've already taken a few classes there. One girl didn't have it put in until 3 days before class started.

Sounds like they are causing undo stress for everyone involved.
What classes will you have this up-coming term?

Post by Astraea on Aug 25, 2018 23:48:46 GMT -5
English 311 Professional Writing
GPMT 287 (I have absolutely no idea what GPMT is standing for) Principles of Project Management
and HLTH 101M Introduction to Health Careers (Dude, I work in a hospital, I've had two clinicals, I think I've been introduced enough but whatever...)
And yes, lovely stress. Add that with my internet not working properly. I'm downloading the games with gold on my xbox. I started like on Sunday....and I'm 75% today on the first game.

Wooo!
My discount is in! I paid.
Also, my internet company came out. Naturally, it's my xbox that's causing the trouble. Get rid of that and it'll be good for everyone else.
I'm sorry, no. I'm not getting rid of my xbox.

They actually told you that? Wow, that is really un-professional of them.
HLTH 101M Introduction to Health Careers, I hope you don't fall asleep in the class.

They said it was something else too, but that mostly the xbox one I have eats a lot of bandwidth. I'm like sure, but don't you think I'd have this problem since like...the beginning?
And like it's literally only been two weeks since it's taken a week to download a game.
And I keep getting kicked out of Destiny 2.
And I've lost the ability to use netflix or youtube on it.
It's pretty much something I can't use anymore. It's unusable.
