December 2014 - Week 5 Starts Tomorrow!

I am pretty proud of myself.  Even with Xmas, I have been able to turn in most of my assignments in relatively close to time that they have been due. I had two assignments that we due on Xmas and those were turned in this evening.

I had a Marketing and Accounting assignment each due today. I got the Accounting assignment turned in approximately 30 minutes late and the Marketing assignment about 2 hours late. This is a miracle since I actually have not caught up on the Marketing reading and officially for Week 5, we add another 3 chapters. In case anyone other than me is counitn, I am not up to 11 chapters to read for that class. I have read approximately 1/2 of a chapter.

I am caught up still with the reading for Accounting and Statistics but that will change with the new week starting. Please keep me in your thoughts as I attempt to get caught up as best as I can.

Week 5 is a pretty busy week. Two discussion forums, two written assignments, a quiz, and the second part of a final project is due this week.

Rev up for Week 4 and Christmas

I am sorry that I missed week 3 but I have been quite a bit busy with work, school, and Christmas. 

I am still slacking in Marketing. I now have eight chapters to read and two assignments that are late.  I know I must do better. 

I am completely caught up in Accounting and Statistics which feels great.  I got a huge surprise this week in statistics. I got a 100% on my second quiz.  I really had thought that I had not done that well.

I am making it my goad to get caught up in my classes even though my children are home on break for the next two weeks. Going back to school was for them is almost as important as it is to me.  Becoming an accountant will change our lives for the better and relieve some undue financial stress on my family.

They finally completed my academic evaluation.  I am about 67 credits or roughly 18 months from getting my accounting degree.  In 2016, I hope to be able to say that I have an accounting degree and hopefully will be going on to get my master's degree to make myself even more profitable for companies.

I have included the to do list for weeks 3 and 4. Remember, green denotes that the work is done. I also have a marketing assignment that is still due from week 2. (On a side note, our marketing teacher sent out a note that stated that no one had turned in the assignments that I still have to do. So I must not be the only one struggling a bit.)

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to  succeed is always to try just one more time.

Second Week of College the Second Time Around

I just finished the first week of my new college career. I got all of the assignments done for the week. Pretty darn proud of myself. 

I slacked a bit in the reading department. I got the chapters read in Accounting and Statistics, but did not really touch the reading in Marketing much. I only got 8 pages read. I will get it done this week though. Since the class takes about 2 weeks for each Module.

As of midnight, week 2 starts. This week I still have to read the 5 chapters for Marketing, one chapter in Accounting, and 2 chapters in Statistics. Overall, the week seems to be a little bit lighter than last, this is because I only have a written assignment for Accounting and discussion forums for the other two.

I know that I can do this. I just have to keep motivated and get the work in on time. Hopefully while retaining the information for midterms.

I am still waiting for them to complete my academic evaluation in order to know what classes will transfer from my time at WVWC. I do not want to take another semester and inadvertently take a class that TESC will transfer credit from.  That would be a waste of precious time.

Well, I will post this week's work as I did last week.  Keep positive thoughts coming my way.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
