May mini-mester…

What was I thinking?! I was warned, boy was I warned, but did I take everyone’s advice? No, I had to try it out for myself. Somehow, I’m doing it, but I have no life outside of reading and studying and reading some more right now. I am half way through my May ‘mester class, a marathon of learning that squeezes a 15 week course into 11 days. I thought this was supposed to be a three week course, but 11 days? I love the class and the professor is so knowledgeable and presents the information in such a way as to make it really interesting, but this will be the last time I take a May ‘mester class. There is too much information to process and spit back out in too little time and I’m exhausted everyday from using up so many brain cells at a time.

I’m teetering between an A and B so far and we have three more test and three more quizzes before we finish on May 31. Please keep me in prayer that I retain the information I’m reading and am able to process it with the results showing up on my test…preferably as an A rather than a B (it’s the whole 4.0 GPA thing I’m trying to maintain for scholarship opportunities). Thanks!!

An "older learner" is anyone over 25. It takes longer to process and retain information. It can be done--but, 11 days is asking a lot. Wishing you the best for a pleasant summer term.
