finished my associates while pregnant, took the summer off, and will finish my BA on June. In the 16 months my child has been on this planet I haven't done a lick of studying while he is awake. Maintaining a 4.0 is impossible, but by allowing myself to get a B in on class a term I am far less stressed. Keep in mind I don't work. Anyone who does all three must be an X-man.

Hi, everyone! I am a full-time physics student at UCSC, raising a 3.5 year old little boy. I'd love to meet more single parents who balance family and education!

I have a two year old and I'm going to enroll in community college for spring semester (feb). I want to transfer to the local UC to get my BA after finishing my pre recs. I want to work for a nonprofit one day organizing community outreach programs. I tried to go to school when my DD was a little baby, but it was just too much. She's older now and I'm pretty much itching to crack open those books and get the degree I want.

How old is your baby?

I have a 5 yr old, a 3 yr old, and a 3 month old....I find that I get most of my studying/homework done when the girls (my two oldest) are with their dad for the weekend. Actually, come to think of it...I get quite a bit done around the house while they're gone, lol :D I love 'em anyways though, lol!

Regardless of his/her age though...you just need to get into a rhythm and find a couple family members/friends that will help support you. For example, if/when you have to go to campus to take a test, or you have an assignment deadline and the baby is being particularly fussy....There has to be a chunk of the day that is usually pretty quiet around your place (at least as far as the baby is concerned).

Hope this helps...Stephanie (let me know if you need help! I've been taking online classes for the last three terms now and anticipate continuing with as much online coursework as I can)

Hey, everyone

Just wanted to give an update. I am almost at the end. Starting a new block at UOP and after that, I have 3 classes left for my AA! I am so psyched. After nearly 22 YEARS, I will have my first degree!

I know I wrote how bored I was in IT, but now studying HTML and CSS and find that so much more exciting, since I get to create visual items with code. Don't ask me, that's the way I am - a frustrated artist who needs technology to be creative! LOL!!!

I am going on for my Bachelors, but switching gears to do a B.S. in Business-Small Business Mgmt/Entrepreneurship. Love start-ups and running my own WAH biz now, so this fits right in.

Wish me luck. Some days are REALLY long right now.

Judi

Hey Ya'all. I'm new up in here. Taking a moment to read all about you. Sounds like an exciting group. I'm finishing up my AA, just got accepted into a great Bachelors program for Human Development. I'm not shy so hit me up.

Their may be a lot under the surface that we don't know. but, for him to move on, he needs to stop communicating with her, it will always leave the door open for him to go back. Especially if he is saying things like "...I gave you a chance..." Th...
