How is everyone fairing? Tis' crunch time for sure, and I am having a hard time winding myself up for the final run and you?

What date is your semester over?

Will you partake in winter session?

Im done but you knew that

Ugh!!!!!





I'm sooooo not into this right now.


My last classes are the week after Thanksgiving. My very last final in Dec. 12th. I'm not doing crap on my holiday besides work. I'm not taking a class. They don't offer them here during Winter session.

When do you start back next year? What are you taking?

I'm taking the second half of A & P with the lab and Microbiology and the Lab.

I think that is fantastic! I met a lady today that also graduates RN in 2 weeks. I am so glad I did. She was real cool. She didn't promise me a rose garden but she was thrilled to say she got this far.

I can't WAIT to see pictures of your ceremony!

I am having a hard time getting my head around a paper due in the morning and also finals focus. My Anatomy final is Dec 12 and encompasses 350 points. YIKES!

I will take winter session and grab Art history ( Oh that will hurt, I am forced to go to 4 museums! Not!) I think I'll nail math too....

Spring session I am going to grab the next math class, English class and probably Psychology. ( Remember I am 24 years behind and have my prereqs as well as my GE to cover)

Im afraid Physiology, chemistry and microbiology will have to wait one semester but I will likely catch up and do to for one.

I'll nail speech and the like over summer.

ummm, about that.... i am not walking my Associate's

IAintTheOne said:

No, why not?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Yeah. I think I'll take the public speaking over the summer. Get it over with in 3 weeks or something.

hokie said:

Ok? I seriously doubt we could get less then an A+, right?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I used to get horribly nervous, but somehow I just can't be nervous when my audience is all young enough to be my children.



Not only that, but at my age I just don't give a rat's ass anymore.

hokie said:

Well If I ever said I suffered from stage freight, there would be a gadzillion orgers to call me out. but the too old to care one way and or another part, I hear ya, sister.

I think the greatest part of this adventure so far is the world it has opened up to me; It's so fantastic! Everywhere I go, I somehow have "student" written on my forehead and it is the topic. I'm in love with the process.

This morning at 12:20 am I emailed a 20-page case presentation paper to my instructor after spending all day Friday working on it from page 8 on. Today I've been doing everything except homework.

For the next week and a half I have to write three more papers. They are due each day Dec 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Then the semester ends on the 9th with an actual final.

Thanksgiving will definitely be a paper writing day. I can't wait for the semester to be over. Break time until Jan 12th. Hopefully I can find a job.

Case presentation. Sounds like a client of mine prepping for a Psychology paper. The case being the prompt? I loved hearing hers. Excellent stuff.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

can't afford it right now, and I will walk my Bachelor's and my Master's

hokie said:

Best. Class. Ever!
Micro is amazing

I cannot imagine EVER liking undergrad work...


got my masters in 2000 so IF i ever do go though with law school i dont have to take any crazy electives ie.. art history it is just a chance for the university to MILK students for money

My classes last 10 weeks....so I am at the beginning of new classes...but 3 weeks ago I was freakin' out with finals. Now I am into week 3 of my new courses.

IAintTheOne said:

They bill you? Yikes, I better plan for it... or do you mean the funny getup?

thekidsgirl said:

From your lips to Gods ear. I pray that is my truth!

ZAUBERFLOTE said:

ROFLMAO.. I hear ya, but Dora, you are so far better rounded for it!

MoniGram said:

Oh wow! That puts your next finals right behind the holiday?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Pretty much. we have a holiday break...where classes won't start again until the 3d of Jan...but after that..it's my crunch time.

MoniGram said:

Exactly! I'll be studying like a loon, over this week I have off, for my finals.

Steadwood said:

I bet! Thing is I am as close to the staff as students given my age, so we talk about it a bit.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Yeah... It's pretty much the same with me... only I'm older than most of em

Last final is on the 10th.

I'm SICK of this quarter and want it to be DONE.

I have a research project due for a co-enroll (English and History) that will be worth a total of 375 points (200 in English and 175 in History), with just the report due in English, and a handout/oral presentation in History. I'm avoiding it a bit, but it's at the stage where it just needs grammar/mechanics tweaking and the Works Cited page needs work, too. Fortunately, I started thinking about it as soon as the report was handed out.

Note to self!

I've got until Dec. 5 to finish two big projects. I'm off work this week (after tomorrow) so I hope I can get most of it done.
I'll be starting winter semester in Jan.
