The kids slept fine last night. Well, Astrid kept waking up crying, but she has two teeth visible, so I expect that was it.

I'm feeling down about school because I just don't know if I can get into the class I need, and I'm not sure it's worth it to go to school if I can't do that class.

On the other hand, I'm feeling positive about the doula thing, because a friend in the program mentioned today that she had ran into someone who got kicked out of it, and I haven't been kicked out (and was, in fact, welcomed back), so I can't be too horrible! So I guess I'll get the certification packet and put my name up on bellywomen.net and see if I can get myself certified, because that would help financially.

EVen if you can't get the class you need, continuous enrollment means you won't get hit with a whole new array of graduation requirements. You'll want a BSN eventually, and having an interruption of any length can mean new reqs for the Bachelor's degree. Besides, taking a break can make it harder to get back into the routine. If you can't get the class you need, take a class you'll enjoy. It will come in handy somewhere down the line, I guarantee it. (Took me 30 years to get the Bachelor's because of breaks in my enrollment, so I know what I'm talking about.)

In my case, this isn't true, as I'm not doing a degree program (ASN or BSN) yet - I'm just fulfilling the prerequisites I need to apply for a program. And we can't afford for me to just take classes that aren't actually helping me make progress.

The part where it gets fuzzy is that I have about a semester's worth of classes that I'd like to take over, both to get better grades and so I can leave my horrible UC Davis transcript out of the picture entirely when applying. So it may be worth it to add on a semester for that, and hope I have things a little more figured out next semester.

And that's the simplified version of things :)
