2. SO BURNT OUT

   Nursemaple replied to klone's topic in Western Governors

   Kline, you were my inspiration for starting WGU! I start Oct 1! I understand how you feel and, really, it is only natural. Taking a term break after this one is a good idea. But for right now, put it in gear! Reward yourself with something great
