I'm a little nervous, it's been so long since I have been in school, but I am hoping that since it is a subject i love I will be able to stay focused and not be too overwhelmed. If it looks like I am taking too much on I can always drop a class or two, but they fill up fast so I wanted to be sure I got in. I actually got the last seat in one of the classes!
I already know which classes I want to take in the fall, but they won't let me enroll in them yet because only current students have priority early enrollment. I think I can enroll in mid-July for the fall classes. If I get my way in all the classes I want in fall it will be $465 for the six classes (4.5 credits), not including any admin fees.
I am hoping above all that I can manage the classes while working (hopefully at SCC) since all of them take place on the weekends or starting at 5:30pm at the earliest. If I get the job at SCC and it looks like there is no way I will be out by 5:00pm then I can drop those evening classes and stick to the weekend ones.
I just feel good about getting it underway finally. I almost gave up on the dream but Peter just came over and gave me the SRJC schedule and encouraged me to get on the ball, he even offered to help pay the tuition, so I had no excuse not to at least take a couple classes.
What I see as the ideal outcome is that I will start the classes, feel good and comfortable with them, then start working at SCC and have the flexibility to work around my classes a little. Marisa said the schedule would be M-F cooking lunch and dinner, and then preparing something that the clients could heat up on their own during the weekend. Maybe I can choose which days I prefer to take off, so that I can make the earlier classes some days. I am confident it will all work out. Life is good. I am excited and looking forward to it all!
On another note, I have an interview with an agency that provides in-home care for elderly and disabled people on Tuesday. I was thinking I could do that temporarily while waiting for the SCC to open in July, and maybe do a weekend here and there for extra money even after I get the job at SCC. Mainly I just want to keep some options open even though I am positive about the SCC position, since it will only be 30 hours a week on average. Of course with a few classes i will be keeping busy, but it doesn't hurt to keep a few eggs out of the main basket.
