This poor blog I created has  been quite neglected lately.  It is now almost the end of fall semester.  My two classes have been uncharacteristically easy for me, which has been nice.  I just hope it doesn't translate into total overload once my much heavier spring semester comes along.  Due to some changes in the semesters that certain classes are being offered, I've had to change my graduation plans.  I was planning on graduating in December of next year, 2012 and only taking 2 or 3 classes per semester in an effort to achieve that ever elusive "balance" in life.  But now if I did that, I wouldn't be able to graduate until spring semester 2013.  So I've decided to buckle down and get this degree finished in August of 2012. 
In order to do that, I'll be taking four classes spring semester and three classes summer semester.  It's going to be a whole lot of work.  I've taken three classes before, but I've never made the jump to full time with that fourth class.  I'm a bit nervous about how I'll do.  I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my school work and I hate to get anything less than an 'A'.  It's definitely going to be a stressful and busy nine months.
