School and Frustations!

Just a quick note. I've changed my mind about what I'm doing as far as going back to school. As soon as I think I have everything worked out as far as school goes, I find something out or figure something out that completley messes up my whole plan. So here's the new plan:
I'm going to go to school at Tulsa Community College and get my associates.
Barring any complications I'm going to finish up school and get my bachelors at ORU or possibly another university that has a good program but isn't quite as expensive.

Here's my reasoning behind this. Although I get to attend ORU with my tuition paid in full, I can only take up to 6 hours a semester. At that rate it would take years for me to get my degree. Secondly, the general fee which I would have to pay myself is 125.00 and then I'd still have to pay for my books. Now I could take as many hours as possible at ORU and pay the difference of the tuition myself, but its $470.00 per hour!!! So I've decided to attend TCC where it is less expensive and I can take more hours because they offer more night classes and Saturday classes. I might actually be able finish school on time by attending TCC. Also, I was looking on line at TCC and found an estimation of the expenses for getting your associates in the nursing program, and for tuition, fees, books, and supplies for the whole time I would be attending it was about $8600.00!!! That's less than one semester at ORU!!!

What I'm going to do though before I make any final decisions is set up an appointment to see the dean of nursing here at ORU and set up an appointment to see a counselor at TCC. Hopefully I'll get everything figured out after I speak with them.

And I thought this would just be a quick note! LOL!

y'know, in all the advice Uncle Michael and I gave you, we forgot the most important advice. Just remember to pray, pray, pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. Then you won't go wrong and won't have to change your plans again.
