I didn't have time for that! I had thirty minutes left before I needed to get the girls from school, Ken (who was with me, and helping me)had to be to work in 45 minutes, and I couldn't leave until I spoke with a counselor. I also had to fill out some paperwork, meet with financial aid, and then finish buying my books.
I have too many credits!!! CSI is a two year school and I have more than enough credits needed to graduate. Problem is, many of those credits were from 15 years ago when I didn't have clue what I wanted to major in. I found out that I have to take at least 12 credits in my major in order to get financial aid. Okay, that's not a problem. I have plenty of classes I can still take.
Wait, I don't have enough classes left in my major to get full financial aid next semester. HUH???? I have taken extra classes in Special Education, but since CSI does not offer minors financial aid won't recognize any of those classes. I only have two classes left for my major so do I finish that program while focusing on elementary education? I can, but I have to take those classes in the 12-18 credit range because those are free credits. My first twelve classes have to be towards my declared major.
Long story, short....The girls waited at the school for a half hour!! Ken was 15 minutes late to work!!!! One of my books was still not in.... and I am now taking 7 classes for a total of 18 credits so that I can graduate in two semesters and still qualify for financial aid. Here is my schedule to prove it.

That is SO many classes!! I also have to take 18 credits next fall!!! I have a husband and six kids who all have a life, need fed, cleaned, and talked to occasionally!!! I usually average 15 credits and that about kicks my trash. I am so burned out on classes right now. I miss my normal "mommy" world.
Now the pressure is on...I used to have a life beyond college...I think I'm going to die!!!!

Wow!! You are so amazing! I don't know if I could handle all that. But you can do it. It'll be tough, but it'll definitely be worth it in the end. And I took Children's Lit a few semesters ago and loved it. It's so fun to read all those childrens' books!
