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!

Paper completed, one test to take

I finished the one and only paper I had to write for my psychology class. I will take my final test tomorrow. What a weekend it was. Trying to keep my three year old happy while I tried to study was not an easy task.

Being a Sunday, all the TVs were on football games and she wanted to watch her DVDs or her television channel. Because it was the weekend, I let her stay up a little extra on Friday night and I was able to listen to some of my lessons. I only had 5 lessons left when the weekend started. You would think that it would be easy but it wasn’t. I was able to satisfy her for a little while on Saturday, but then I felt guilty because I kept telling her just a little more…a few more minutes. Finally, I had to find a stopping point and let her watch her DVDs.

I know now that I cannot possibly do my school work at home. She is the only one that I have to worry about. My other children will keep busy by playing their Xbox 360 or being on their computer, mainly playing games on their Xbox 360. I can’t tell you how glad I am to have a little bit of a break. I still have one more test to take and for that I need to study. I don’t mind viewing the tapes as much as I mind all the reading we have to do. I wonder if they get that much reading in a regular college setting. I guess if you have more time than 8 weeks it really would not seem like so much.

My game plan of doing the lessons from one course at a time backfired on me in the end. I know now that I have to have a different plan next semester. Well, it’s back to the books to study for my 4th and final test. Wish me luck !!!
