Well tomorrow it starts at 11 am. I have a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule with Tuesday and Thursday off. I am taking 13 hours that includes political science (American government), intro to communication, quantitative methods (aka psyc math in stats), and abnormal psyc (about disorders and such). I go from 11am to 5pm on Monday and Wednesday with out any break for lunch (although that does not not mean I won’t eat, I will just be doing it in class). And Friday I go from 11am to 2pm.

I will go and see a counselor soon to fix some class errors they made (not counting classes in the right place) and to check my math on what I need to graduate. From my calculations, I will need 18 hours after this semester to graduate. Only 7 of those hours (2 classes) are a specific class while the others can be in any subject I want as long as 1/2 are upper lvl to fulfill the advanced hours requirement. The max hours one can take in May-mini-mester are 3, summer 1 and 2 are 6 each, so I will have to get permission to add 3 hours to that so I can graduate this summer.

I am so scared of graduating! I have no clue what to do. It has been suggested that I wait to go into grad school, but the only thing I know how to do is being a student. Too bad I can’t make a profession out of doing that! Just think how many classes I could take if went to school until I retired! I would be so smart and have dozens of degrees. I am just reluctant to give up my freedoms as a student like getting to choose when I have class and taking a month off in the winter. In the “real world” some boss will be ruling my life and deciding my schedule. I am not a morning person, but our society believes at being at work from 8-5. It is rare that a person gets to dawdle into work when ever they wake up (like Dean).
