School Days
January 6th, 2010 | 
Author: School has officially started back up for me again. My first classes started yesterday. I’m pretty sure that I never mentioned that I withdrew from the other school I was attending. I absolutely hated it. Really hated it.
I had a paper or group project due every week. If I had a question about a topic or the assignment, I would email the professor. This school has a 72 hour turnaround time for professors to answer emails. When you have a paper due in 7 days, waiting for 3 days can cause a bit of anxiety. Especially if your answer was a 2 sentence reply that didn’t answer crap. Then I would send a reply. Wait 3 days. Die a little more each day.
So, I did something I have never done before. I quit school. Right in the middle of a class. I contacted the new school I am attending. I asked them if the class I was in would transfer. They said no. I said thank you for giving the best new ever. So I had the whole month of December off.
I cleaned my house from top to bottom. There wasn’t a piece of dog hair to be found anywhere. Each toy was placed in its proper home every day. I baked Christmas cookies and candy. I had fun with my kids. And most importantly….I wasn’t a bitch! I know. Its a shocker.
I’m on day 2 of this new school. And I love it. I’ve send emails to both professors and have received a reply back in less than 24 hours. I’m currently taking Principles of Economics. This class scares the crap out of me. I haven’t taken a non-science or non-nursing related class in over 8 years. Its like I’m reading a foreign language. I’m also taking Health Information for Nursing. This is about doing research from reputable sites on the internet. Its actually kinda interesting. Also, I don’t have assignments due every week. I actually have time to fully do the readings, participate in the discussions, and LEARN!
I’m excited. Oh, I only have to take 12 classes, then I graduate with my BSN! I want to prove to myself that I can do this. I think I found the school that will help me.

yay! I too am kinda thinking of going back to school. There must be something in the air
I’m glad you found a school that works for you.
What kind of crap is a 72 turnaround? That is crazy! That is just setting students up for doing poorly.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Yay! I’m so glad that this new school is working out better for you. It really makes all the difference in the world to be happy with school.
When are you slated to graduate? We will have a party then.
Good for you on starting a new school. I had just decided your old school needed to be re-named University of Total Bastards for all the crap they were putting you through.
