AH Student's Thread

[Roxanne Appleby]

All my life I wanted to do something with animals. I really wanted to be a zookeeper, but my parents didn't like the idea, spouting that I wouldn't make any money doing that. Dad wanted me in business, and mom wanted me doing something in legal feild.


So I completed a degree for office management and got a dual degree as a paralegal essentially. They were both easy boring degrees and over lapped in classes so I graduated at the same time with both.

My parents, both sated, shut up. I did exceedingly well in all my classes, and passed with flying colors, and everything came easy to me.

I had a few jobs in the legal and office feild and I hate it. God I hate it all so terribly bad. It was SO DAMNED BORING. And then day in and day out, I hear people who want to sue someone over a damned broken fingernail. COME ON!!!


After my recent brush with death, I said that if I got through it, I would do something I love instead of what I was currently doing. Life is short, why hate it.

SO I decided to persue my life long dream of being a zookeeper. Now my parents agree that it's better to be happy and poor than rich and miserable. (no I never got rich in my profession).

At the prompting and encouragement of my current boyfriend, I have enrolled in College again. This time I am going for a biology degree (which the local zoo requires for the job I want) and away I go.



It's been a total pain in the ass trying to get back in school. I have been ran around 5 million ways to sunday.

Including them throwing out ALL of my A's from my previous degrees because they don't "apply" to my current program (you BASTARDS), a lovely round circle with the fact I can't take biology courses til I take a chem course, I can't take the chem course til I have the right math course, and I can't take THAT course until I get a previous math in!!! *gasps for air.

Also, I can't register for ANY english course, INCLUDING creative writing or literature (AHAHAHAHAHA you're kidding right? right? UGH) until I finish english 102. And all the fluff courses are filled, so I had to grab some random crap out of a hat so I could have a full semester so financial aid will cover me (ARGH)

AND the dean apparently wrote a book, so ALLLLLL of the students are REQUIRED to read it, and meet on it. (man I need to write a book for a college...)




But after much much stress, here's what I got:

Math 105 - pre-calculus
English 102
Geology 101 (shrugs, I like rocks!)
sociology 100 (blaaaah)


All of which are monday wednesday (man I'm goood).

Math I was worried about, but turns out he's a nice guy and most of my class is an on-line class (cheer)

My english teacher I was REALLY worried about because I have NEVER in the history of EVER gotten along with an english teacher. But she's actually a pretty nice lady.

Geology is in the same class room my mom had a major seizure in during a test (omen?)

and sociology is taught by a guy with a really thick accent. I'm going to have to sit really close to follow him. But hey he seems pretty decent.


So there. I'm a college student all over again o.o

help meeee

Yay you!

You'll do fine. You have to work and keep up, but the bottom line is that these classes are designed for people to pass them, not fail.

Ya'll go!

Back in the day I finished college, worked a couple of years then went back for more. It was the weirdest experience sitting in a desk again, but it was worth it. In fact, I wish I'd had the stamina for even more! But now, the time and money don't add up for me. So persevere and (insert high falutin' university sounding word)!

 

[FatDino]

I don't know.

But that means you'll finish the school year before me, right?

 

[Just-Legal]

Assignment done and submitted. Yehaw!

spoke to a professor today, and we agreed for a date for my oral exam. well it's not final yet, because the other professor has to agree too, but after all this waiting finally things start moving.

means i should start studying for the exam now though.
