The Quest for higher education AKA; One big MIGRANE

Nov 08, 2002 22:52

I've spent the last 2 hours trying to decide what classes I'm going to take next semester. I think I need to pay someone to work out my school schedule, work schedule, time schedule and SLEEP schedule. Thursday I picked up some IMPORTANT posts by the South campus office that all read : NOTE CHANGES IN REQUIRED COURSES FOR ASSOC. PROGRAMS. And, I pick up all the ones that I think I MIGHT be trying to get and low and behold....everything is DIFFERENT from the required/suggested courses for the programs back in...last winter. I've noticed that they like to make it SEEM like you dont have to take many courses...until you look them up in the course descriptions and find out that each has a trail of prereq's a MILE long. Like this nursing class for instance. Under the title, it has 2 prereq's listed. One, a bio course, the other a chem. So, I flip to those in the descriptions. For the Bio class that has 1 prereq, and THAT prereq has a PREREQ of its own! AHHH! So, I figure that at the rate I'm taking courses (currently 2 per semester) and I would like to get an Assoc for a Respitory Theripist or RN...I'll be going to college for....oh......THE REST OF MY FUCKING LIFE.
And, to my surprise somehow I've managed to wrangle up more credits towards a Fine Arts degree than to what I was SUPPOSED to be going for!
Dont forget, the entire time I'm dealing with THIS crap, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get 36-40 hours a week in at work AND 2 days off! You full time students have the life..you just LOOK at the "outlined suggested course schedule" and you just GO by it...and just fit in work where you can. I on the other hand have to do WAY more thinking than should be asked of me. Maybe I should just move to some 3rd world country. They make the people who can read there gods, and I've been reading for YEARS now!
Thats it, problem solved. I can be reached in BOTSWANA if anyone needs me for anything!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
