I just keep plugging away...


This past semester in college was so hard as I had major surgery less than two weeks before the semester began. It was uphill the entire time for me, so I took 2 incompletes, which I will finish by the end of next month.

I started volunteering half days at my local hospital last week in the medical records department, and that will be credited to the 2 practicums I have to complete for the degree, which is good!

My academic advisor already has me enrolled for fall, 7 classes for 13 credit hours total! I'm trying hard to just stay in the moment.

It looks like I will complete the associate of applied science (in medical information technology) degree in May 2010, and I am so excited.

I am also only 9 credit hours short of getting an associate of arts, so I will put those classes off until summer of 2010 as next semester will be just as hairy!

Sometimes I have to pinch myself to realize I am actually doing this! For so long my life was chaotic, and because of the program, I have learned a better way to live.

Good for you! It is great you are taking things as they come. Don't miss anything along the way.

I loved college I sure know the pressure and frustration when life hits us during it. HOpe you are ok from the surgery?

I would, so many times say "just get your body there." Even took a pillow when I didn't feel good and just listen.

Who cares? I was always the oldest in the room! lol

Glad for the update and so neat you get some credit for volunteering. I loved doing that.

I did lots of independant study where I made up my own curriculum. LOVED it. The profs said I did more than they would have given me!

HOpe you are enjoying what you are learning.

love,debilyn
