My Penn Foster College Experience

This is Terry's account of how he got started at Penn Foster College, as well as his ongoing studies towards his online Marketing degree. Read about the various pitfalls of balancing homework with family, as well as his two jobs, personal life, and volunteer work.

And now...back to Penn Foster College

I haven't posted to this blog very frequently over the past few months.  As you may know, I was also studying with Andrew Jackson University at the same time I was taking courses at Penn Foster College.  The course load just proved to be too much.  I had to concentrate on my studies at AJU in order to finish by the semester deadline, and that was with the extension. 

 Now, I have have finished the semester at AJU, with all A's I might add, and can now concentrate on finishing this semester at PFC.  The last exam I took at PFC was back in December, and I had to pay for another extension, so it's another race agains the clock for me.  I have three courses to finish at PFC:  Managerial Accounting, Introduction to Literature and Introduction to Computers. I am now back to my course work in the accounting class, and it's hard revisting something I haven't really touched in a few months.  

 I have given myself of deadline of finishing the accounting course over the next 2-3 weeks, so I can move on to the next course and bang out the work I need to complete this semester.  After that, I will transfer all of my coursework to one of the "Big Three" schools, most likely Excelsior College.  I believe I am fairly close to the number of credits I need to finish my BA.  It has been a four year journey so far, but I can finally see the end in sight!
