My College

So i finally figured out how many classes I need to finish my Associate in Business. I need 9 more classes and I'll be done. So if I take Summer, Fall, and Spring full time classes I should graduate in May 2010. Turns out I should have graduated this summer but since I failed 6 classes in the last year and half, I'll have to deal. Turns out the first 2 classes i failed was my first trimester when i was preggo with Karlee, i was super sick and tired! Then the next class I failed was last summer when I had her! Then the next 3 classes i failed was last fall semester because it took me so long to be able to get used to havin a baby and doing homework and the PPD didnt help at all! But hey i have 2 As and 1 B so far this semester and finals are next week!

As some of you know my GI Bill Benefits are over in July and I have been stressing because thats how i pay my rent and all my bills every month. I get $1200 a month for classes and thats what i live on. So i have been trying to get a full time job and figure out how i am going to make it with my girls. I have been freakin because i havent been able to find a job anywhereand I thought i wouldnt be able to get my degree.

Well I just found out yesterday i can get an extra 12 months benefits from a New GIBill that is being released Aug 2009! So I filled out my application today and sent it in! So now if i get the 12 months additional benefits I can stay working at my current job as a Part time Aide to the preschoolers and I can finish my college and graduate next May!

The best thing about the New Gi Bill is that it pays the college my tuition so i dont have to worry about paying my tuition. It also buys my books and then gives me $1200 a month!

So at this moment I am one happy woman! And if i can wait a year the job market should be up and I'll have a degree so I can get a better job to support my girls!
