Well I was having problems getting the classes I needed to graduate b/c one was dropped, BUT I was able to get the independent study course on the politics of the abortion debate that I REALLY wanted! Now that I have that I can graduate in August!
I told Dr. Jackson who is doing the abortion class (and who I only met that day) that I wanted to just hug her after she said “yes” to the independent study course and then she HUGGED me! lol
19 hours over the summer seems like a lot but 9 of those hours are at home. 2 classes are online (nifty classes about science and technology!) and then the independent study course which is also at home. So during the May-mini-mester I only have one class, summer one is 3 classes but only ONE on campus, and summer 2 two classes with only ONE on campus!
I think I will enjoy summer so much because the classes are more challenging and each day will be a step to graduation!

That doesn’t sound too bad. I don’t suppose I ever took more than 12 hours over a summer, and usually more like 6 or 9 — but that would have been while also working 20 hours a week. My favorite summer school year was 1981. I took ceramics both summer sessions, which meant daily 3-hour labs working with clay, and it was in the same building where I worked. I never got any good at “throwing” pots on the wheel, but had lots of fun building boxes and stuff out of clay, and experimenting with glazes. And for credit!
