One Down

Well, I did it! I completed my first term back in college and I achieved my 4.0 - all A's! Yeah!

I feel very accomplished with earning straight A's. While I was only taking three classes, it was still a challenge with juggling work, school and family. I really enjoyed all my classes, but my favorite was my Ethics & Critical Thinking class. It made me realize that if I felt I could find a job in it; Philosophy would be a pretty fantastic major! Unfortunately, I don't know of many options for people with a Master's in Philosophy - unless it is teaching. I've checked out professor's salaries and it's just not that hot. Perhaps part-time, in addition to another full time job, it would be ok.

Fall term is going to be even more of a challenge. I'm taking 19 credit hours, which is full time status. I'm also working full time and of course, am a full time mother and wife. I just really need to get through these pre-req's so I'm moving full steam ahead!

I'm taking Biology, College Algebra, Humanities - Renaissance and Baroque, US Government, Understanding Religious Traditions and Fundamentals of Speech. It should be an interesting and challenging term.

I'm on break until August 31st. Until then, I'm going to enjoy the time with the family.
