To walk or not to walk: that is the question....

Graduation is quickly approaching. In just over a week, I start my final quarter at Pierce college as well as my first class at Central Washington University.  In June, I will be graduation with my AA in Social Service/Mental Health.  My question is: should I walk for graduation???

Over the last couple quarters, I have made some friends in my classes who are wanting me to walk at graduation with them.  For me, I don't really want to walk and would rather cheer them on in the crowd.  But, they really want me to be part of the celebration.  So, I want your opinion.  I have created a poll to see what you think I should do: walk with my friends, or not?  Personally, I was going to wait until I got my masters to walk at graduation, but I know this is a big accomplishment for them and want to give them my support. 

Please vote and help me decide what to do.  Thanks!

Trying to Find a new Routine

School for me started on Monday.  That means new classes and a new schedule of daily routines are now in play.  I make a weekly calendar and put it on the fridge so my family knows when to expect me at home.  Here is the calendar for the next 10 weeks:

This quarter I am taking 18 units at Pierce College.  It wouldn't be that bad but one of the classes is Field Experience where I have to put in at least 120 hours in the field.  So, in addition to my usual hours spent in class, I also have to add about 12 hours a week for internship.  Luckily, I found a volunteer opportunity at Metropolitan Development Council, working in the Community Assitance Resource and Education (CARE) group.  I passed the background check today and start "work" there on Monday!  I am scheduled to work there from 8:00-12:00 Monday through Thursdays.

So, looking at my schedule, my Mondays and Wednesdays will be quite busy.  I have work, then Public Speaking in Puyallup, then have to drive to Lakewood for back to back classes of Abuse in the Family and Law & Ethics. At least I have some free time on the afternoons of Tuesday and Thursday and luckily my Fridays and the entire weekends I have off and can use to catch up on school and house work.  I am excited for my classes and hope that they go as well as last quarter.  I will try to keep ya'll posted on my progress.
