full-time everything?

So fall classes have started. This semester I've decided to try both working full time and taking classes full time. Things could get hectic. I'm really liking all my classes though so maybe it won't be so bad. I am taking:

  • Astronomy 101, it's four credits of online science and the math may just be my undoing, but I really like science so I could survive. It will be exciting to see how I do.
  • Intro to Computer Information Systems, also online. You can't graduate from my school without taking this one. The chapters run about 40+ pages long but It's way more interesting than I expected it to be.
  • Spanish Cinema, my one and only actual class-room class. It's been weird so far but I talked to the teacher today and I think it will get better. At least I'll get to polish up my Spanish a bit.
  • Poetry Writing, again online and we watch, listen to, and read a lot of poetry. As a class we've only bee required to write one little haiku poem but it's put me in a near - continual state of poetic inspiration so notebook pages are being filled with my musings.
Naturally, the poetry class is hands - down my favorite. The only classes I need to graduate are the astronomy and computer classes, the rest I just threw in there to stay on my parents' insurance (I have to be full time to be under their insurance). The last few weeks I've felt like I bit off more than I can chew, and though that is somewhat typical I am hoping to get into the swing of it here soon. ;)
