Well I spent last night and some of today working on my final paper which all in all wasn't too bad. I wasn't as stressed about this one as I was about the final paper for my first class I think because I am becoming more and more comfortable with how Ashford University operates and honestly, this instructor doesn't grade quite as tough. On the flip side of the coin it is 35% of my total grade for the class so messing up would be very serious indeed. I did finish the paper today but I think I'm going to take the rest of the day off and proof read it tomorrow before I submit it. That away I will be reading it with fresh eyes. Every time I do that I almost always catch at least one small mistake but overall I think it'll be an "A".
In regards to the class itself I have really enjoyed it. As I have become more adapted to being back in school things have gotten a little bit easier. I have finally found my groove I guess you could say. I would really like to double up for 3 terms, which is 18 grueling weeks but beneficial because financially it would help me take advantage of my 2007 tuition reimbursement benefits through my employer and also it would help me finish 18 weeks earlier. If I can do that I have less than a year of school left which is pretty motivating. I think after the MBA I might just be done with school for good. I certainly am not going to go at a breakneck pace anymore if I do decide to get a second Masters, but the idea is nauseating. If I do go back to school it might be for a certificate or something but the idea of a doctorate is so far fetched right now, there is simply no way I could be motivated for something like that.
I have researched moving into some form of Human Resources position and though I hate the idea of rewriting the career script, the hours and lifestyle would probably work out better for my life outside of work and hey, a job is a job right? Anyways, I want to like what I do but it certainly isn't necessary to define my life through my employment at any given time. Well it appears I'm rambling on after being beaten up by that paper so I'll quit for now.
Wish me luck.
