I go to school but right now I'm taking distance learning courses. So basically I just don't go to campus for classes, I have to teach myself everything! YUCK! I'm only taking 2 classes right now (Sociology and Art History) because that is all I can handle with 3 kids (ages 5, almost 3 and 8.5 months) I should graduate in May 2005 with my Associate in Social Science. I don't know what I want to do further than that though! Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome to the board!!!!

I know how distance learning classes can be. THey can be harder than actually taking them in the classroom. You are especailly busy with 3 little ones, which I am sure makes it even harder. Hopefully you'll make it through the semester. You must have taken prvious classes to be ready to graduate in 2005. Good Luck this semester!!

I got my Master's degree totally on line and I LOVED it!! I like that I could get online on my own schedule. I have always been a night owl and got more work done during the evenings than during the day. Having a date that things were due without having to sit in a classroom two or three times a week was great. It does take a lot of discipline so I made sure in between doctor visits, meetings, etc, I scheduled in study time in my planner. (I love my organizer..LOL!). But it allows me to stay home with my kids and not have a gap in my resume. wink I can say I was in school especially since the degree doesn't say "ONLINE" on it.

Good luck and let me know if I can be of any help!
