I have ONE WEEK until this set of classes is over and I'm seriously debating the joys of not starting 2 new ones the next day. I know if I just start them I'll keep going & just suffer through them ~ but I am so stinking tired of scheduling my life around school. I'm so tired of not being able to relax without thinking "X is due on Xday, I should really get a jump start or I'll be up until 2 am working on it."
By the way I have a 5 page paper due tonight by midnight which I have yet to touch, and yet here I am. Bitching about school. Again.
Yippee.
I really am looking forward to having my degree ... in 29,175 more weeks. Or just 2.5 years. Whatever. But it strikes me that I am spending GOOD GOOGLY money on this crap. Seriously - $7GRAND a year. $800 per class. **CHOKE** This is why I'm so anal about getting all A's. If I'm paying for a used car every year then I'd damn well better get smarter!
Yep, that sentence was written by a college student. *BURP* Gotta love the American school system.
I'm honestly wondering if I will be able to find a job paying enough money that would support the decision to spend this much money. Given the state of the country's economy, I have to wonder if I'm making the best decision ... I guess I just have to hope and pray that these student loans don't drown me & negate the entire financial reason I started the project.
And I'm a little jealous that 2 of my friends are going to nursing school ~ their prep classes (until nursing classes start) are only 2 days a week, they are paying less than $2,000 a year & can sign up with hospitals to pay for their education. They will walk out of this guaranteed jobs, with no loans & making $60,000 plus a year.
And I'm going into business administration.
Damn I wish I could handle blood

I hear your pain. I went to graduate school, just hoping and thinking that "everything will work out in the end" re: student loans.
Witness: 4 years later, PhD education, but MA degree and $140K in the hole.
It sucks. But you could have it worse, is what I'm saying.
Oh, I feel your pain. For some reason this semester has just been totally overwhelming to me. At first I thought it was because I was just needing to get used to it, but now the midway point has come and gone and I am still in the same boat.
But even though going to school makes me want to poke my eyes out sometimes, I still say that going back to school was one of the best decision that I have ever made. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it.
And don't be too jealous of your friends - there is a lot that they can get paid for, but I don't know many nurses that make that much a year - and I know zero that made that much right after graduation.
