My Liberty University Experience - presented by eLearners.com

My name is Roz and I am in my second semester at Liberty University. I have always wanted to get my bachelor's degree in Psychology, so I am finally getting started. Did I mention that I have a full-time job as well? Oh, and five kids and a husband with a disability? You think you're busy? Come read about MY life!

I need to remain calm and focus

I am so close yet it the end seems so far away. I cannot believe that this last course and semester is almost over. I still have five lessons, two tests and one paper before I am through. This is becoming like a race to the finish line. I had written down a schedule but so far I have not been able to follow it. It is imperative that I pick up the pace with it. By now, I was supposed to two lessons away from finishing. But that is not the case. I have five lessons left.

I don’t want to be pushed to the very last date of October 24th to take my last test. As much as I hate it, unless I can complete five lessons tomorrow or even four lessons, I will have to take some work home with me. I really need to finish the lessons by the weekend, and then I can be a little more confident in completing this before the deadline. I was doing pretty good today until they had to come in my office to complete some electrical work that threw the afternoon off track. Now for today, I have only done one lesson and was going to take test #3, but my proctor has not given it to me yet. He has also been busy. If all I have to do by Monday is take test #4 and write my paper, that I can handle. Thank goodness that Friday’s are usually not that busy, so I am crossing my fingers that I can breeze through the five lessons tomorrow. I will try to make that my goal.

I know many people have been in the same place as I am in right now and I can only blame myself for that. Perhaps I should have had a better game plan than the one I had decided on. What I did was since I had two eight week classes left, I had planned on completing one each month. But it was easier to say than to do. While eight week classes help you achieve your goal faster, they seem to have a little more work than sixteen week classes or so it seems. I know that they have the same but right now, I am feeling a little rushed so it seems like they have more work.
