Well I have a full course load for me this semester -- taking three classes: Advanced Spreadsheets (Excel), Human Resource Management and Accounting. I have had a quiz in Advanced Spreadsheets (100%) and a quiz in HR (100%) so I am off to a good start so far. Hopefully I can keep up. These summer classes do move at quite a fast pace. I have an Accounting quiz on Wednesday so I am off to study for that. After studying tomorrow I am going to take a break and take Matthew (oldest) to the pool for a little R&R. Joey (little one) is still sick but doctor's say we are looking at Thursday before he can go back to daycare! ughh... Keep me in your prayers that I make an A on this accounting quiz. I really want to do well this semester. Hoping for either A's or B's in all classes!

How are all of your other college folks out there doing --- :)

you are taking a heavy load for the summer - hoping for your sake these are the 10 week classes not the 4 1/2 week ones

you are off to a great start girl - keep it up

I am doing good in pcyh  - dropped algerbra ( I will take it in the fall - it is HARD for me) - to much stress in life to be spending 4+ hours a night on one class 5 days a week while the kids adjust to daddy being gone

hope we all do great this summer

hugs

Yeah I know... heavy load with working full time and two kids and a husband but  I needed to get back into the swing of things and I need to finish my Associates sooner rather than later because we desperately need the additional income that a better paying job will give me. I work in Accounts Payable but would like to get back into a supervisory role, but everyone wants either an Associates or Certification so that's what the game plan is. As soon as I complete my Associates (and the market is better) I will begin looking for a job as an Accounts Payable Supervisor as I was before getting laid off two years ago -- can't complain though.

I need to take the Psychology class but I was too scared of taking that one in the summer not so sure I could do that in a condensed 12 week course. Let me know how it goes for you and I can pick your brain in the fall as that is one of the classes that I am taking!

You are such a great mom! Hopefully the kids will adjust and you too, I know that must be really hard for you and them. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up the good work in school. Too bad I am so far away. I made a 99 in College Algebra -- love Math!

Amanda :)

Thanks Karla and Liz -- Right now I am going to Houston Community College to get my Associates Degree in Accounting and after that I have plans on attending University of Houston to obtain my Bachelor's of Business.  At least that is the plan as of right now.  After getting my associates I am going to study for some specialized accounting certifications (CAPS - Certified Accounts Payable Specialist Certification and the CPB - Certified Professional Bookkeeper Certification along with an Excel and Quickbooks Certification!)

Hopefully all of this will pay off in the long run for me and my family! Seems like an insurmountable task now but I know that I can do it if I just stick with it. Might take me longer than others, but I WILL FINISH !! Finals are on my Birthday this year .... Happy Birthday to me.. All I want is an A or B in all three classes.... I will take that as my only present.. ha ha.

 Hmmm  I guess I could give you an Excel Spreadsheet test by sending you my blood test tracking ss ..  for a little "customization"?     

  Good luck!

Hey Amanda,
Im a fellow "student" BUT I take the summers off because I am too selfish with my time.  But I have been taking classes consecutively every semester since 2006.  This fall semester I will be taking THREE night classes.  Like you, working FULL time and taking care of hub, sons and home.  BUT after the fall, I will only have 6 more classes and I will FINALLY have my associates in Paralegal Studies.  I will then go on and get my BS in the same field as well.  I am doing it more as a personal goal, than looking for a better job. ( i have it made where I work now. lol AND I would still utilize my education)  I am the oldest of 7 and I am one of the LAST ones to get my degree.  So, I feel I HAVE to get one.  I have had A's in ALL of my classes, but I guess its because what I am learning is in my field of work.

Anyhoo...keep it up!  As you know, it will so worth it in the end.  Take care.

Hugs,
Monica
