Third Semester - Spring 2010

After the completion of 2 full-time semesters, I have amassed a total of 26 credits towards attaining a bachelor's degree. Given that a typical degree amounts to 120 credits, I'm roughly a fifth of the way towards that end.

For the Spring 2010 semester, I have enrolled in four courses: Western Civilization II, Music, Public Speaking, and Intermediate Algebra. The math course is a remedial class designed to get me up to speed in order to properly complete a pre-calculus course, and therefore will not be a transferrable course. Given that, I will accumulate 9 credits in total for the other 3 classes.

I'm still utilizing online marketplaces to purchase textbooks and supplies, and have been satisfied with this method. Just to recap, I was awarded $2100 in financial aid for this semester, similar to fall 2009.

Classes begin on Monday, January 11. I'll be attending four days a week for the first time, Monday through Thursday, with 2 classes per day. I'll be taking the city bus to and fro for the duration of the semester, as I did the last one. On a personal note, this may be my biggest fret, as at times there is a 2 hour time frame in getting from one destination to the other. Aside from that, I am confident I can and will revert to attaining similar success that I achieved a year ago in my first semester - all A's -and will expect that to be the result.

Stay tuned...
