School

 I have debated the last 10 years on whether to go back to college or not, when everyone else went to college i got married and had babies, no regrets because i got to see their first everythings, and not have a babysitter tell me about it.  Last spring i decided to go and get a 2 year degree,  i know thats not going to get me far these days, but it will get me where ill be happy. Id be happiest getting to stay home and cook and bake like the early years and not have to worry about the cost of gas going back and forth to town, but thats just not going to happen anymore, our kids deserve better, we deserve better. So a 2 year degree it is. I considered a 4 year and decided against it.  HOW am i doing it? what am i perusing? 

I was lucky enough to get a Pell Grant and a very small scholarship for this semester..........I went back last summer for Summer II and the previous years grant money was available to pay for that with a bit left over for a program, printer and laptop i would be needing. This sememster and next i have a pell again and that small scholorship, and short of a special something or other (like a calculator) it just covered my tuition and books, i did get a small low interest after graduation loan. It will be able to cover a 5th class in the spring and NEXT fall and all the books needed, we will have to find a way to pay for that 5th class in spring 2017 (will be my last semester) but knowing around what it will cost in fees and books well be able to pull it together. 

I am going for a Degree in Business Technology

My summer classes were 2; 1 part in class part online, and the other online,  Intro to computers (I got a B) man that was NOT the same class i took in High School, so much more technology didnt exist back then. My Resume class i got an A

This semester Im in Word-online, my work is fine, my tests im struggeling with and ill be doing good to maintain my B, I will actually be all done with my assignments before midterms 
Tech Math II, Ive never been a math lover but again my grade is an A and its an in class twice a week and homework
Multimedia, this first half is 10key (i have no idea how im doing because she doesnt use blackboard) and its an online class right now, but after midterms i have to go in for the powerpoint half (sad face)
Foundational Comp, totally online, and ive got a high A, Im also ahead, not sure ill be done by midterms but ill still be done earlier than Im suppose to be.  BUT i didnt realize that by this being a foundational comp that it does not count towards my degree, i have to take comp 1 and comp 2, i missed being in comp1 by a point on my test, that is why i have to take a 5th class. 


Spring Semester I want to take these and all online or at least not a 4:00 class again 
Comp 1
Accounting
 Word 2 (ugg)
Proff communication
Spreadsheets (excel)

 This is my short term plan
