Well, it is that time... Registration time for next semester. Time of anxiety and worry, so few classes offered and such a schedule to keep to be able to graduate on time.
Oh, yea of little faith and of so much anxiousness.
Well, I had been told the first day of registration is a mad house and you had to get there early. Classes fill fast and when you do not have many classes that you need it can be very tricky getting a full load of classes in your curriculum. EEEEEE!!!!
okay, so I got myself situated. I arranged for Chris to take care of getting Charles to school. I trucked over to Franklin campus (Louisburg) got there about 7:45, it was too cold to have to stand outside. I arrived and there was a line of about 50 people, I was calm though. Hoping that most of these people were taking the other classes I do not need. Within about 20 minutes all the stressing and anxiety was over!!! click, click, click, enter.
Okay, here you go! I was like that's it??? The registering clerk was like, yep, when you come early it is pretty easy. Semester 1 down, semester 2 is in the system!!! 2 more and I will be done. XX
I got my classes!!! 4 On-line and 1 traditional, totaling 15 credit hours.
I will be taking:
Developmental Psychology, Interviewing Techn., Advocacy, Counceling, and Intro to Sociology.
The Interviewing Techn. is the traditional class, and the instructor is my Advisor and the same teacher I have 3 classes with this semester so I am all set, I know what he expects, I know when and how to reach him with issues (not that I "expect" to have any, just encase). I like to be prepared and know what the process is before I need to use it. :)
So I am feeling a little better about things, classes are winding down and only 1 paper to write and one presentation. (Still be praying these are considerable chunks of my grade). I think I have crossed the bridge to managing the anxiety of speaking in front of people, and I have finally tackled the emotional outbursts when in a "hostile or heated discussion" {PRAISE!!!! :) , that was very stressful, embarrassing and counter productive, but one flaw that just would not go away}
So now after this semester, I will have 13 credits off of my degree, which leaves 38 credits left to earn. The break down for my degree is :
Credits required for degree: 70
Credits earned in MA program: 19
Starting balance in 2008- 51
Credits earned Fall 2008 13
Credits expected Spring 2009 15
Credits expected Summer 2009 15
Credits expected Fall 2009 8
Graduation!!! (Ceremony) would be in May of 2010. If all goes well, I will be well established working in the field and working on my Bachelor's by then. XX :)

Yay! How exciting to have a definitive "chunk" of work behind you - which will be even more of a relief in a few weeks! Congratulations on your work thus far!
How exciting. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished and where you are headed!
