Going to be a busy year…

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on September 21, 2006). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Looks like there isn’t going to be a lot of free time in the coming months…but it’s all for a good cause.

I got financial aid this year (yay!), so I’m up to a full 15 credits at NSCC. This means I’ll be at school from 9am – noon Monday through Friday for classes.

On top of that, while half of my financial aid is grants (and I do like free money), the other half is work study, so I’ll be working part time on campus in addition to my normal part time job. I’ve signed up to do my work study tutoring at The Loft, NSCC’s writing center — the same place that Prairie puts in a few hours a week tutoring. She’s said for a while that a tutoring position there would be perfect for me, as it’ll give me good experience, so seeing an opening there during the work study orientation was perfect.

So, my current schedule (assuming nothing explodes in the near future) is something like this:

  • M-F, 9-9:50am: CSC110: Intro to Computer Programming (Schaffer)
  • M-F, 10-10:50am: ENG102: Composition (Harradine)
  • M-F, 11-11:50am: HIS101: World History to 1500 (Rausch)
  • Wed, 3:30-6:30pm: Tutoring at the Loft
  • Thurs, 2:30-6:30pm: Tutoring at the Loft

This will leave me from 1pm to 10pm Monday to Friday and both weekend days available for my off-campus job, with homework time on Wed and Thurs between classes and tutoring, plus whenever I’m not scheduled at work.

Busy. Definitely busy. But eventually, that should lead to a degree….

  1. I also worked 20-30 hours a week while I was at IU, due to my dad driinking all the money away. I once fell asleep during a percussion concert!

    Two things:

    1. It is worth it.

    2. I am very proud of you, not only for this, but also for the person you are.

    Love

    Dad

  3. Well good on you!
    And now that things are slowing down for you and Prairie perhaps I’ll be able to see more of you two?

    And I agree with Dad.
    1. Its worth it.
