This semester has been a million times better than the last, which was stressful and busy beyond belief, but I'm starting to feel the pressure. Yesterday I planned out my last two semesters - I only have to take 12-15 credits a semester; I'm just afraid that courses I need won't be offered when I need them. I'm really excited about my family studies minor, but I think I might have made a [huge] mistake in picking it up so late. They don't offer many courses per semester, and the English department is mostly the same way, once you get into the higher numbered courses. I also think I'm going to have to take at least one course this summer so I can keep my course load down. My credit hours didn't used to be an issue until I was forced into working 15-hour weeks in a place that's only open until 4 on weekdays.
I'm also stressed about finishing the Honors Program. I have to complete an Independent Project, which I was going to avoid at all costs by taking a seminar instead, but I've recently learned that those are basically the same as a project, just structured as a class with your topic chosen for you (next semester's are jazz and French film noir.. I think not). I have to submit a proposal and have it approved by the end of March so I can register for the class then (which makes no sense, because it's independent.. it's not like there's a limit on the class). I don't even have an adviser, let alone a topic - I was told to find an adviser first, so that's what I've been attempting. My first choice is on sabbatical in the fall, and my second choice, although I haven't heard for sure yet, will probably have moved away by then. It's kind of weird, because her husband is one of my professors right now, so that's how I know that (when I found out that a prior and a current professor of mine were married, it blew my mind). I think my third choice is actually one of my Honors professors who really liked my writing; the only problem is that I'll probably be analyzing a piece or pieces of literature for the project, and I don't know if he's comfortable with that, being in the social sciences. So.. yeah. stress.
My husband is going to be a policeman and I'm so proud of him. :)
