I think I bit off more than I can chew

I'm not sure what made me think that going back to school while working full time was a good idea. I'm thinking I suffered from temporary complete madness, that's the only explanation

*hugs* It took me a while to get used to the workload as well, and that's having spent most of the past 9 years in college... I'm not sure what your content is, but it does sound like the schedule for axia is crazier than the MTE program I am in. I will admit that I have put more time and effort into this program than I ever did (with the exception of that semester in nursing school...) before.

You are NOT a failure and I know you can do this. If there's anything I can do to help, you know my number.

I think it's because I'm taking two classes at a time. I think I could deal with one but I can't get everything covered by financial aid if I'm not full time.

Thanks for the encouragement, I need it.

I think you are right about the two classes thing. That's one thing I like about the Masters program, one class at a time. I keep thinking I will do one of the workshops, but then back out. A month or so ago I was taking two classes. One was a three week graded course, and the other was a one week pass/fail class. For the p/f class all I had to do was post ANYTHING on two days and I would pass. That was easy enough, but I really don't feel like I was able to retain the info from it.

One thing that helps me is to actually make a calendar of what I'm going to work on and how long I am going to work on it. I did that in the first few weeks, trying to get used to things. It seems so simple, but it really helped in the beginning when I felt so overwhelmed. It seemed I was spending all of my time on class and not getting anywhere. It really helped pull me away a bit.

I totally sympathize with you. Hang in there dear.
