Slowly, But Surely…

I’m getting better. The coughing is subsiding, so I guess it’s not bronchitis. It is related to my bronchial tubes, though.

School is taking a toll on me. I have 5 classes right now. Two of them are seven week classes, and pretty much that means they cram the whole semester’s worth of work into those 7 weeks. I don’t mind because I know once they’re done I’ll have more time to focus on Pre-calculus, Chemistry, and Biology. The 7 week classes are Behavior Modification and Social Psychology (both Psych courses). It wouldn’t be so bad if I were better at time management. I’d really like to pass all of them with a B or higher, and there are a few of them I know I should get A’s in if I apply myself.

I think after this semester I will be taking a break from college. It’s not because I’m tired of it, though, it’s because of the price. If I do that, I’ll be transferring to a different university for my last 2 years, because I’ll lose the scholarships from my current school if I take a break. There’s just so much from this semester that I still owe and haven’t been able to pay off as yet, so I’ll probably need the rest of this year working 2 jobs to pay it off. If I can do it over the summer, that’ll be great, but the job I was expecting to call me back for the 2nd step (a knowledge/communication test) hasn’t done so as yet (aka The City). That would have been a great job, paying $15.49/hr., and guaranteeing me 40hrs./wk (and overtime on occasion), so I would have been set to pay off all my school stuff (including credit cards) within about 6 months.
