Coffee and School

Okay, so I know what you all must be thinking right now.  That I have officially lost my mind and in my delusional state I am worshipping coffee.  First, please note that I already knew I was crazy and whacky in the head and will continue to love my coffee to death.  Like the Bridezillas you see on television, I am the same way when I don't have my coffee in the morning.  I took a break from coffee for about two weeks since buying my Keurig brewer.  I was drinking more of the hot cocoa cups because it was extremely cold outside and I wanted to drink something with marshmallows too.




On The Other Hand...

I am halfway through another term with my online class.  I am currently taking an ethics class for my degree.  I know it is essential I know the legal jargon that my new career has but... It's something I'm still getting used to.  I've usually dealt with medical ethics in regards to providing actual medical care.  I guess I'm ready to get a mini break for awhile.  Everyone else has been able to enjoy spring break but I still have till the last week of April before I can rest.  I have two terms for each quarter.  Term A and Term B.  Each term is 8 weeks long and very condensed to accommodate each individuals learning.  So about every four months, I complete a semester.  I love and hate this process at the same time.  I love it because each day I get closer to finishing a part of the Health Information Technology program.  Then, I hate it because I will have another year or two to face in order to finally graduate with my Bachelor's degree.  

Once I have had at least four years of experience in my field, I may consider getting my Master's degree.  But right now, I'm just tired.  This is where my coffee comes back into my life.  It keeps me awake while writing papers, studying for exams, and preparing for the week's lecture and discussions.  For the last two terms since moving from Hawaii, I had to cut down my number of classes so that I won't jeopardize my GPA.  I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive when it comes to doing schoolwork the correct way and making sure that I try to achieve the most points I can get from completing each assignment.  

Next term, I look forward to doing two classes with labs. I think I may need to add another class only to make sure I am taking the right amount of credits for this semester.  I swear I think about everything a bit much all the time, lol.  As Drake speaks to me through my Beats, I'm going to start on my work for this week.
