Back to School, Back to School....

Well since I was laid off 02/04/09 I have been thinking what to do, what to do. Well it is now official I'll be going to Midlands Tech to finish my Associates degree in Criminal Justice starting with Summer Session on May 19th. I should be done this year as I am only 7 classes short ( I know, why did I quit the first time? dumb ass?) I plan on taking 4 classes this Summer and the remaining 3 in the fall. I am excited and eager to return and finish, but at the same time a little nervous as I have'nt been in school in a while. Any hints, tips, words of encouragement?

These are the classes I will be taking this Summer..

Math 155- Contemporary Math?- This course includes techniques and applications of the following topics: elementary number theory; algebra; geometry; measurement; graph sketching and interpretations; and descriptive statistics

Honestly I know my ass is in trouble here. I hate math, always have, always will, Thank God this is the only math class I have to take. I hope my 16 year old step-son will tutor me. He is in 10th grade and takes honors math classes, he's my only hope

Computers 101- Intro to Computers- This course covers basic computer history, theory and applications, including word processing, spreadsheets, data bases, and the operating system

Not to worried here. 15 years of using computers at work I have either learned by trial and error or repetition how to do the basics.

Philosophy 115- Contemporary Moral Issues- This course examines moral issues in contemporary society, including basic principles and applications of ethics

This looks kind of interesting. I can see some heated debates going on in here!

Criminal Justice 115- Criminal Law I- This course covers the development of criminal law in America. The basic elements of specific criminal offenses, criminal defenses, and various legal principles upon which criminal law is established are reviewed

Yea kick ass! Looking forward to a "major" related class. This is the one I am looking forward to the most.





In the Fall I will only have (2) Political Science classes and CRJ 242- corrections and I'll be done. On another note what is it with book prices!?!?! I have to have 5 books total for these classes and they are going to run around $500.00+ ? geez what's the deal.

Well I'm excited and looking forward to finally finishin and beginning my new career, but at the same time nervous....

Take Care,

Jason

Waiting...Wating...then I'm gonna wait some more..`

It is now a proven fact that anything in the World takes 7-10 days to be processed!copy of wife's birth certificate? 7-10 days.. hear back on your financial aid for school? 7-10 days.. Everytime I go or call anywhere to get anything done I am told it is going to take 7-10 days. That is the honest truth. Well I finally got my unemplyment and will be on the government teet for awhile. Trying to get back in school and finish my associates degree in criminal justice, hopefully will hear back on my financial aid status this week, it's been 7-10 days! My sister and I started walking again today, I guess every little bit helps. Actually been so busy it has been hard to find time to post on my blog but will try and do a better job.
