Okay, so my mother's really been pushing (I'm 19, btw, and live at home) for me to have my pre-requisites done by fall of next year. I don't work, and really don't have any sort of obligations besides school (and I hate my family). Is this a doable schedule at all? I know it's going to be insanely, insanely tough, but...
Fall 2009: Two PE classes required for my degree (2CR), Human Biology (4), Human Biology Lab (2), Lifespan Psychology (5), Inferential Statistics (3), and a Study Skills class (3).
Winter 2010: A&P1, Chem&121 (Intro to Chem), Public Speaking, and Art (18CR total).
Spring 2010: A&P2, Microbiology, Chem&131 (15 CR)
Summer 2010: A&P3, Nutrition, Anth&206. (13CR).
I'm a bit worried, but with good study skills and time management, does it look doable? Any suggestions would be nice. :heartbeat
Nohika, have you considered what you will be doing during the semester (or whatever time it is) that you will be waiting around to find out whether you been accepted into a NS program? or does your last semester have classes in it that don't have to be figured into your GPA or other requirements? My problem was that I had to have every one of my classes completed before I could apply, but then the semester during which the application review was going on there was nothing for me to take (so lucky me, I'm taking Spanish) Are they any of your courses that you can put off until the end that don't have to be completed before you apply? For me I could actually have my histories and governments not completed by the time I applied (of course I'd already taken those years ago). Check that out to see if you might be able to lighten the load a bit.
The only problem with that is after this year, I believe I lose my Financial Aid - basically, my ability to pay for college. (I have to probably get loans for nursing school). I'm also applying to several different schools, and most of them want all the classes done. I've tried to at least spread them out a bit (won't even TOUCH spring quarter - that'll be a killer). I might (if I can afford to do so) take a few humanities courses that some four-years require or stuff - I've at least covered most of the colleges I want, so I hope I'm ready. :heartbeat I'm partially taking the "college success" course just to learn how to better manage time and studying and whatnot, so I'm hoping that'll help tons. Thanks again! :heartbeat
Yes I think it's possible, especially if you don't have a job. But don't screw it up! You will regret it forever if you do - I speak from experience.
I have to say I find it disturbing and sad that you say you hate your mother and you delight in her being disappointed. That's just wrong on many levels. I know that we don't know the whole story (and frankly it's none of our business) but it sounds like your mom is concerned for your sake. I hope that with some time and maturity things will be different.

I don't remember saying I hate her - most times I don't (I'm 19, it's typical ). I don't plan to disappoint her; I just need to get her to realize that she does not get all my time. I've never done anything for her - she taught me long ago that if I "screw up" just to spite her, I hurt myself, not her. She doesn't have time for me anymore, so it doesn't matter anyways.
I'll work my hardest. :heartbeat Thank you for your comment.
