How my day is layed out

My day usually starts at 7:15 a.m. when my mom gets home from work and I hear her come through the door. I'm not used to having late classes and would usually be out the door driving to school at 7:40 a.m. but since my class doesn't start until 10:30 I try, really try to sleep in until 9:00. I wake up get my lunch ready and watch a little bit of T.V. As 10:00 rolls around I leave my house out in Westsyde and comute the 15/20 minutes it takes for me to get to T.R.U. When I get there I have to unwantingly pay the $3.00 for parking, park and walk upto my class, English 129. My class gets out a 1:00 p.m. and that gives me an hour before I have to be a work. I usually stop to get something to eat and bide my time. Around 1:45p.m. I head out to Valleyview and come to work at the Kings Motor Inn as their Front Desk Attendant. Being that my shift is 8 hrs I'm here until 10:00 p.m. When I leave work it takes me another 15/20 minutes to get back to Westsyde. I get home have a little snack while reading until about 11:00p.m. I go to bed and then I do it all over the next day! The one great thing about taking summer classes (yes I said great thing) is that when the Fall semester starts I'll already have 2 out of my 5 classes taken care of, meaning that I can
a- either pull 2 classes out of my winter semester
b- pull 1 class out of my winter semester
c- pull no classes out of my winter semester and just take a 3 course load It still gives you full-time status and you have to freedom to work part-time and not be going crazy with an overload of homework. I think that I am going to pull out 1 class from my winter semester and see how that goes.
Because in September I start my Accounting Tech program and I want to have everything under control and go through the semester enjoying what I'm taking, because I know that if I took 5 classes I would hate every minute I was at T.R.U. and who wants that. Anyways right now the pace that I'm at seems to be working. I attend university, work regularly and see my family often. Hopefully if I've planned it out right September on should be the same??? Hopefully...
to be continued!

A Little About Me!

First I'll start of with the basics, my name is Megan and I am a 27 year old full-time female university student. I live at home with my mom and step-dad (free rent) and am working a full-time job. My hole purpose for starting this blog is to be able to write about my strides and struggles through out my year. I've been in university taking unclassifed courses since 2009. On June 10th I graduated with my grade 12 diploma! When I was working on my diploma I wasn't working 40hrs/wk. Now I've jumped in with both feet, I'm taking summer classes(not as easy as it sounds) and am working as I said 40hrs/wk. So thats what my blog is going to be about, my 1st year dealing with academic classes and having to juggle work and personal life all at the sametime.
