school news

I heard back from the folks over at NC State and it looks like I won't be able to take classes until summer of 2011 just because of timing. The cutoff to apply to spring semester was December 1st. I won't have my Associate's until the end of December. Don't you just LOVE deadlines? Am I bummed about this? Yes. Am I also a little happy? Why, yes I am.

As the hubs put it today, "I've been working really hard for a year, so a semester off to just be a mommy and get my house the way I want it will be good for me."

He is so right.

I've decided that I am not going to apply again until after New Year's. Obviously I can wait now and if I were to apply right after I get my Associate's, then I would stress through Christmas as well as fun New Year's activities. I think it's best to wait until all of that is over and then send in another application once everyone is out of holiday-mode.

Even though a semester off will be "good" for me, I really wanted to keep rolling. I've have mastered the art of time management and I have become super disciplined. I know when to say "no" to things, including family dinners, but they all understand and support me. I just really wanted to keep the steam train rolling. I will still be graduating at the end of 2012 (barring nothing crazy happens), so that is good.


All in all, it'll be fine. I was talking to one of the girls in my Sunday School class about it and she told me that, "God knows exactly what we need, when we need it." She was right as well.

Well, I'm off to finish my final paper for English. I am going to try to squeeze in the paper for extra credit before the midnight deadline tomorrow night, but we'll see.

Wish me luck!
