Week 4 complete - just one week left for this course!

Just took the last of two quizzes due today with a 100%! As you know if you've read my prior blogs, I FEAR the quiz! I know, it's all in my mind and fairly sure it's my "Precision" learning pattern making me want to be perfect and accurate in all I'm doing in this course. Just ask my instructor who I frantically emailed yesterday feeling unsure of what the assignment needed to be turned in by today was asking us to write up, but he put my mind at ease with examples of what he was looking for. Never "fear" your professor or instructor to ask questions to if you are uncertain or need even the simplest explained - that is what they are there for.  I do appreciate my instructor's guidance as well as him personalizing his responses (not "robotic") and including his past errors when he was taking courses; makes me feel he's not perfect and that he has compassion for his students.  Wish he could be my instructor for one of my future classes - who knows? His name is William Leu, instructor at Ashford University, instructs the EXP105 course - you are appreciated sir!  
With just one week left in this course, I am eager to see what my final grade or GPA will be when completed.  Also received the Pell Grant monies this week that is being applied towards my tuition.  Now all I will need is for my company to approve Tuition Reimbursement for this course after the final grade is noted (C+ average or better to get reimbursement). I also applied for several scholarships to see if any monies can come through as well. Here is one of the websites I registered for that matches scholarships to you:  www.supercollege.com  
Today I am feeling confident! ~~until next week bloggettes!~~ ;)

Hello Everyone!      It has been a long while since I have posted, but that's only because of being so busy with college, working full-time, and taking care of family/house/bills/life! You know, the regular Mom stuff that all mom's in college have to juggle on a daily. We rarely get any down time, right?      I am only two full classes away from completing my degree - YAY!! I am super excited to be graduating this fall at Ashford University in San Diego - October 14, 2018 Sunday. It's time to order my cap and gown! I will be graduating with honors as I have consistently been on the Dean's List since I was first able to qualify. I say this is quite an accomplishment for my age! (I'm STILL 29, LOL!)  I already have the plane tickets paid for, the AirBNB house rented and mostly paid for, and 10 days vacation scheduled from work! Can you tell I'm excited? La Jolla, California, here I come!      What I have learned is that the closer I get

1st Course complete, into 2nd Course (Psych 202)!

Sorry I did not blog since last week, but I waited until receiving my final grade from my first completed course, and... I completed the course with a nearly perfect score so I am so far at a 4.0 GPA ! One course - 3 credits down, 117 credits to go!  I have completed the first week of my current course ( PSY202 ), a Psychology course, and am feeling semi-confident. As always, the quizzes continue to stress me.  But I was able to complete the second quiz with 100%, and turned in all required by today assignments.  The course work load is much more than the first course; double the chapters and much more words required in submitting work.  I will need to amp up my studying time for this course and not be spoiled from only reading one chapter a week.   My biggest obstacle this week and from here out is I dropped my laptop on its side which shoved the adapter cord into the laptop which is causing the cord to not just automatically charge easily but cord needs to be positioned at a perf

It's been such a long time...

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted in my blog. So I thought I would take a moment to share updates on how college life has been since my last post. I am now into the meat of my degree; Journalism classes. Somehow, I survived the general education courses, including the two Algebra courses, and came out on the other side unscathed.  What I have discovered is to get to my dream job in editing or proofreading or the like, I still need to be able to write, even though I do not consider myself a writer. I get it. So, I write! I am starting to feel the degree within reach - October 2018 is just next year. I am already planning the trip to San Diego for the graduation and will plan a nice vacation around it. I can already smell the salty air, hear the wild birds, and smell the Wild Mock Orange shrubs that smell like orange blossoms. I saw a Pixar-like animated commercial the other day of a single mom struggling at her job trying to do better and feeling down, whe
