Crippling self doubt! (aka starting college at 40!)
I decided to take April off as I'll be traveling for work and most likely unable to regularly have internet access. Assuming the TEEX Basic Property Technician course really counts for 3 credits, I'll be at 60 credits even. I feel like that's a good time to take a break considering I went from 0 to 60 in 3 months. Thanks to help from all of you!

I literally had no idea where to start or how to get started and that's seriously the hardest part. I've hit a couple of bumps along the way, mostly again due to self-doubt but this forum has really been so amazing and I know I wouldn't be this far along without the influence and help I've found here. 


This is what I have remaining and then I'll have a BA in HSEM. 

1. Gen Ed
A. Intellectual & Practical Skills: 6 cr
ENC-102 Written Communication: College Comp II 3 cr
SOS-110 Info Literacy: Living in the Information Age 3 cr

E. Mathematics: 3 cr
Any College Level Math Course - (really need to figure this one out) 3 cr

F. Gen Ed Electives: 7 cr (Shortage from the Ethics class needs to be made up here)
Any GE Elective 4cr
Any GE Elective 3cr

2. Area of Study

HLS-498 CAPSTONE IN HOMELAND SECURITY & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 3cr

Area of Study Electives: 3cr (I just need to pick one of the 3 below)

SOC-239: Victimology 3cr
BUS 303: Management Info Systems 3cr

Free Electives: 15 cr

I think my signature lists everything I've taken so far, aside from the new Forensic TEEX courses. Hopefully, when I get back to working on my education, my TESU evaluation will finally reflect what I've completed so far and I'll be a little less insecure. 

Thanks again, everyone!
