Burned Out

[malcs]

Burned out, you bet!

I am cooked out of my skull at this point.

31 credits in 6 weeks, most of them upper level. I have one more test (world pop), and I will take it next thursday. I then will have my BSLS from Excelsior.

Not to mention that I took my PMP exam the week before all of this, and that took 3 weeks of study.

While doing so I have also received an area of concentration in Psyc, since I now have 21 psyc credits.

I took a 25 year sabbatical from school, and decided to finish it all in 6 weeks. When I started this binge I only had 86 credits due to a lot of older comp sci and technology courses falling off of my transcript. I am now at 117.

I have fond memories of those full time brick and mortar college days from the past, where you could go to a class, hang out in the square, do a little homework, hang out in the student center, .... We may get things done quickly here, but it is no walk in the park.

I would bet that I am not the only one here that has been been backed into a wall by the economy, and who sees getting their degree as essential to put food on the table. All of this after holding many senior level jobs along the way.
