Second time’s the charm
Dan on January 14th, 2006
It’s official. I’m matriculated, registered, and paid. I’m going back to college. Which leads me to…
Goal #8: Achieve a minimum GPA of 3.8 at my new school.
This time I’m going to do it right. This time I’m in a program that I want to be in. I don’t feel like I need to be there, I want to be there. I think that makes a major difference in how I perform. If I don’t want to do something I resist it.
I’m taking the maximum number of credits, 18. All of my academic classes fall on 2 days, running from 8AM to 5PM with a break in the afternoon. It was interesting squeezing it all together but I managed to find enough classes to make it work. I’m also taking Physical Fitness, which is supposed to help the attendee develop an exercise program for themselves. I think everything is fitting together nicely. To top it off, I’ll be getting a significant amount of money back from the government through grants. Most of that money will be going directly into an account at a broker for stocks and options trading.
I strongly urge you to look into your local community college if you aren’t in school already. Take a night class in anything. It’s cheap and a great way to learn new things.
