This is my last semester at this school. I have eighteen credits (12 is considered FT), work forty plus hours a week, and still have a social life. I need every class that I am taking. I can feel the pressure that surrounds my doing well this semester but it is almost as if it is in the background. I don’t feel that sick sense of worry that I have in other semesters.

While applying for graduation, an advisor and I discovered that I have enough classes to not only get my Associate in Arts, but also an Associate in Science as well. I am excited about this. Dual degree in two. Granted, having the AS may not seem like a lot to others but for me it is an accomplishment nonetheless. Another birthday for me also rolls around on the 31st. I love birthdays.
