RANT alert.

This is going to be a rant about school. I need to vent and I do not think anyone particular cares enough to listen, so I am going to blog about it instead.

I'm working on a Health Sciences Pre-Clinical Track degree at UCF. That's the name they came up with, not me. A little too wordy for my liking. Anyway this is the description of the degree:


The Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences Pre-Clinical Track is designed for students with interest in human health leading to graduate study or career advancement. This degree is designed to provide the students with a solid educational background in basic and health-related sciences, while providing the foundation courses required for admission to graduate level clinical programs in health professions including but not limited to physical therapy, physician assistant, and occupational therapy. The flexibility of this program allows students to prepare for 
multiple careers in health science


Oh, so exciting, huh?

I feel like this is going to take forever. Fortunately I already have some of the credits for this degree, you know, thanks to my two associates degrees from LSCC. Blah, I hate that, wasted too much time at a community college because I could not figure out exactly what I wanted to do.

Anyway, I need to take 4 science classes: Chemistry I & II and Physics I & II. All of these classes are 4-5 credit hours, and considering how I failed miserably attempting to take Chemistry this semester I think I will only take each one of those classes with one other class a semester. I warned you that this was going to be a ramble. I also need 6 more "Core Requirements" and 7 "Restrictive Electives". So that's 17 classes and approximately 51 credit hours.

Oh my gawd, this is seriously going to take forever. If I want to go to grad school after this it is going to take even longer, which is what I want to do. I plan on taking 2-3 classes each semester, including the summer from now until forever. I've been trying to register for classes all morning BUT unfortunately they are all freaking full. I want to take the sciences at LSCC as a transient student because they are cheaper and have smaller class sizes BUT I owe $10 for a parking ticket and cannot figure out how to pay it online.

I really want to scream. Just added that lovely photo of myself. No make-up, zits and PJs with a book in my lap, perfect for this post. I have that exact outfit on at the moment. Odd.

Now I need to shower and do Macroeconomics homework. JOY!

  1. I think that's the degree my son is pursuing. I ran across an old photo that your blog made me think of today. I'll send it to you via fbook, which is why I'm here btw- saw your blog on there. If it makes you feel any better I had like 115 credits from community college when I finally got my BS. BS, so much more than a degree.
