M.I.A.

I have a total of two courses and two CLEPs remaining for my degree. The CLEPs I really don't take into consideration, only because they are entry level courses that are a byproduct of having changed majors; Precalculus and Intro to Business Law. If it were not for the CLEP exams it would be frustrating to have to take each as a class, so thank the universe (FSM) for small favors. So basically, two courses remaining.

Although I have not checked to be certain, I believe the next graduation for my college takes place in June, which would mean I need all credits into the school sometime in early May. Both of the remaining classes I am taking with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as part of their independent study program. These are self paced upper level courses, which is a very good thing for me provided I can force myself to work on the class. The bad thing being I need to allot time for credit transfer.

To that end I had given myself a set schedule of four weeks per class, the first of which (Operations Management) I began at the beginning of March and have unfortunately fallen a little behind schedule. One week behind to be exact. Five weeks for a 3 credit hour course would not be bad still, except it throws my entire time table off schedule (remember the graduation above?). So I have been working overtime in an attempt to get back on schedule.

And that has not been going well with the distraction of the You Design It project. Fortunately for me, the cosmos loves me and has ensured that the parts I need to progress further with the hoverbot will be at least another week in arriving. If I push myself just enough I should be able to complete everything on time (and under budget), and that is exactly what I will be doing for approximately the next week. So please excuse the lack of entries as I continue to be Missing In Academia.
