Back to School Shopping

Since classes start next week I went to pick up my books today. One of my classes doesn't have a text book and the other one the material is online so you get an access code. $96 for an online access code! Wow! I also picked up the rest of my school supplies. A couple of 3 ring binders, paper, pencils and note cards. It seems like I should have more than that! But we'll see after the first day of class. It's not like I can go to Target and pick up a supplies list! So for now I'm all set and ready to go next week. I'm excited!

It's Offical! I'm a Student Again!

All things happen for a reason. I always have believed that. I'm still unemployed, but there's a reason and in time I'll get a job. Well, one of the reasons why I'm still unemployed is that apparently I was meant to finally finish my two year degree. About a month or so ago I met with a counselor at North Hennepin to find out what I needed to take to get my degree. Two classes she says! In fact I have extra credits toward a higher degree, but I need to finish off my generals first. Hopefully with me finishing my AA degree or at least being in the process of it will help me in the job market. A couple weeks ago I had to go to this informational workshop for the Workforce Center for my unemployment benefits. While I was there the guy told me about this program where they might pay for my classes. I filled out my application and today I met with a counselor at the Workforce center and found out they'll pay for my last two classes. Today I officially registered for those two classes! I'm a student again!
