I have also decided that I'm not going to rush school and get myself all stressed out about classes. Since I transfered into kinesiology after a year in science, I'm behind in all my classes. I'm technically a second year student, but I'm taking first year classes, and will be taking first year classes next year as well. This puts me behind because all those first year classes are requirements for the 300 and 400 level classes. But if I give myself an extra semester I will be able to get all the classes that I need, and hopefully I will be able to get the grades that I want.
Last thing, I was looking into other career possibilities for myself and I found something really interesting. All that classes that are required for my degree, are also the required classes for becoming a personal trainer. After I take those classes (I don't even have to have finished all my classes, just a couple physiology classes) I can take a test and become certified. Its sounds pretty awesome, and pays decently considering the field. Its really reassuring that there are other options for me out there!
TAKE the extra semester! I am almost done and I'm freaking out. A little padding never hurts.
ReplyDeleteDoing a degree in 4 years in overrated! A cushion of an extra semester (or whole year in my case) is an extension for the stupid economy to have leveled out.
ReplyDeleteBut, graduating in '07 and '11 would have been so cool! It just sounds good!
