What I've learned is you have to be really discriminating when choosing an online program. I'm impressed with the online format so far at Capella. It seems evolved, clear and informative. There is an online library, other resources provided for us and the professor will not be mailing us CDs with flies on them that don't work. I've been guided by the enrollment counselor through everything and in the beginning she was calling me like every day. I don't know why I feel like the luckiest person in the world when all the information is clear, thorough and present from the start.

Unfortunately I've been taking too much Advil over the past few months. Too many headaches and body aches in general so I finally told my acupuncturist yesterday who gave me one of those treatments where you are so tired later. She also gave me some pain herbs. I now have to take Maca-3 from pure encapsulations and Wobenzym PS manufactured by MUCOS Pharma. Maca works!! I would gladly like to get addicted to this stuff. One pill of Maca plus 6 of Wobenzym daily.

stay warm..

Update

I haven't talked about my school situation in a while because I have been working hard to transfer to another University and the journey has been filled with frustration. I was suffering while enrolled in Cal U's MA Teaching program. I could no longer attend a 'university,' which did not have my interest in mind. I took 21 credits at Cal U and probably should have transferred earlier but very unfortunately, those credits could not be transferred into another University Education program at the Master's level, at least at a University that is affordable for me. I spent $470 per credit at Cal u (plus $1300 in fees f#**$#&&$) so I wanted something a little cheaper.  

After talking to lots of universities and having ridiculous problems in getting my transcripts sent everywhere, I decided to switch to a Master's in Education program. I no longer want the Master of Arts teaching certification. I am more interested in developing competent curriculum. So I finally settled on another online program at ........Capella University. Woohoo! They charge $444 per credit and there are no fees!!!!

I entered their Master of Science in Education program with an emphasis on Curriculum and Instruction. The entire program is 46 credits (11 courses). I felt awful about having spent all that money on 21 credits already and none of it being able to transfer, however at Capella, they are currently offering a $3000 scholarship for this particular program. Additionally, they provide the option of doing self-paced professional development courses online which can replace three courses, reducing the cost of the program by $3,500. So at least I am getting $6500 back in a way.

#resolution
#harrowing experience
#there is somewhat of a light at the end of this tunnel

update: as of 2/17 - I was able to transfer 9 credits from Cal U the Incompetent to Capella.
