Me in a nutshell...

I married my high school sweetheart in 2003 and have been enjoying the military life with all of it's challenges both good and bad since. I have a B.S. in Psychology, worked in law enforcement field and now am finding it difficult to find any work. I have decided to follow my heart and work with numbers! Yuck to some, but fun to me. I'm working on an Accounting degree while juggling military life, raising 2 beautiful kids and searching for an opening in the job market where I can hone my skills. Follow me along this fun, stressful and interesting journey....

My first class....LIT1...DONE!!!

My first term started with being enrolled in 3 classes at WGU, LIT1 (Legal Issues for Business Organizations), (LWC1) Fundamental of Business Law and Ethics, and BNC1 (Organizational Behavior and Leadership.  The first class that I completed was LIT1.  There were 2tasks which were challenging but not hard.  Once the material was read and comprehended, it simply took some time to apply my new knowledge to these 2 tasks. 

The 2 tasks took me roughly 2 days of about 4 hours of writing each day (including some revision time).  I submitted both tasks and received "4's" on both of them on the first attempt.  I was a little nervous as this was my first time to write for a class (using APA citation) in about 7 years.  But I did it and was able to complete the class. 

Completing the class quickly gave me more time to focus on my other 2 classes.  I found that if I focus primarily on 1 class at a time, I am able to accomplish more.  Now don't get me wrong, I don't neglect the other class, I simply place more focus on the one that I want to finish first.  I set a goal of completing the next 2 classes (LWC1 and BNC1) by the end of February. 

This was a pretty intense goal since I had A LOT of things going on in my personal life at this time.  We were in the process of closing on our house and moved into military base housing and transferring our daughter to her new school all while dealing with the emotional toll of moving kids. 

All in all, February was a high stress and busy month for this mom!  Can't wait to see if I reached my goal? Read on...... :)
