Debating the Future
There comes a time when we all reach a crossroad. I am at one now. I love attending college, but my body is making it difficult. I am considering completing my degree at on online university. I enjoy going to classes, but it takes so much out of me. I think I need to do what is best for me and complete my degree with American Public University. I can get my degree in English and then my masters in Humanities which is what I wanted to begin with. I love humanities. It is the examination of art, writing, history and philsophy all rolled into one. I think this is for me. I would not have to travel 40 miles every day just to get to class. I would not have to sit in horribly uncomfortable desk and listen to a lecture for an hour in each class, taking notes the entire time and unable to listen like I enjoy doing. With my arthritis it is hard to keep up and I miss a lot. I think this will give me a chance to really explore more of what I am looking for. Plus it will in the long run be less expensive for me. Driving 40 miles plus having to pay for parking adds up to about $40 a week plus food. At UNF, the extra fees charged cause the classess to end up costing more than the online class. I think it is time to change directions and make the turn that would benefit me more. I will miss the classes, but I need to do this.

I agree! I think this would be a wise decision..sometimes you just have to do what is best for yourself. Besides..this might give you more time to be creative! Go for it!
