Today I started back to college at UNO. I am taking two classes this summer: one on campus and one on the internet. So I bought my books, got my parking permit, and headed onto campus this evening for my First Aid class. The class is supposed to run from 5:30-9:15PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I was wondering how bad this class was going to be with that much time being invested each week.
I got to class and the teacher told me the required text was not required and that I could return it (to the place I bought it online and pay the return shipping). She then gave me a link to the online edition of the text. Lastly, she told us that she had no idea who said the class should be for almost 4 hours twice a week, but the latest we would ever be there would be 7:30PM. This is awesome because I can go workout in the fitness center (right outside the classroom) until 9PM. Then I can head home. Bonus time for me and a stress reliever at that!
I think this class is going to be cake and I'm enjoying the Psychology 101 class. It is much more challenging than I thought it would be, but in a good way. I hope I get a lot out of that class. I'm taking it so I can get into a Child Psychology class this fall, but I am number 6 on a waitlist to get in. I have already moved up from number 8, but if I don't get in off the waitlist, I may just show up on the first day of class and beg the teacher to let me in. :)

A Positive and Fulfilling Experience
As many of you know, I am starting back to college this summer to finish my Elementary Education Degree. I was looking through my many stacks of papers I have received from UNO to take care of one of the many issues that have popped up. On my welcome letter letting me know I was accepted into UNO, it said, "We know you will have a positive and fulfilling experience in your time here with us."
Well, let's see: I've had negative, uncooperative, difficult, challenging, frustrating, and rude. I wonder when I will get to the positive and fulfilling part? But through all of the challenges and troubles I have faced, I have had my resolve strengthened that this is what God wants me to do right now. I still have no idea why it has to be right now, but He has made the obstacles obsolete.
From financial aid, being the last person allowed to enroll for high demand classes, figuring out a schedule, what to do with Bree during the day, and lost paperwork, everything is getting resolved. Maybe not to the absolute perfect world I would like to live in, but pretty close.
I start back with an internet class in Psychology 101 and campus class on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in First Aid on May 16th. I have already gotten one of my textbooks online and starting my readings (so I can get a jump start). It will be one crazy, and hopefully "postive and fulfilling" summer this year.
