Finally, No More Homework... Wait, I'm a Writer...Homework for LIFE!

For the last couple of months I have been even less visible than my normal ghost-like social media presence. I did not die. I have not been in a coma. I did not go on a sabbatical to find the real me.

I have been in online college classes completing my associate degree in general studies. The last two classes were only offered concurrently so I could either take both full time courses at once or wait until the end of the year to finish. The lie I told myself was, "It's only seven weeks. I can take them both. It won't be that bad."

It was that bad. I have made plenty of mistakes in my life. This has been added to the list. With online college courses, the school crams an entire semester of work into seven weeks. I took two of those and worked full time as well.

I would like to say I bore this bravely, but I did not. If you know me in real life, you are very aware of this trial because you had to hear about it. A lot. And I kinda neglected everything else in real life.

People were like, "Hey! I would love you to celebrate with me this wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime change I'm going through."

I was like, "Nah. I got homework."

I'm happy to report, though, as of Sunday night, I turned in the absolute last assignment for both classes and am just awaiting my confirmation of my approval for graduation. Woohoo! I'm so glad to be done.

I'm sharing this information through my blog to let you know one of my 2020 goals is to finish revisions on the third installment of The Seodrassian Chronicles. I've missed Rhys, Daeg, Braeden, Gunna, Machar, Lydia, Guinnen... I could go on, but hopefully you already know everyone I'm missing because maybe you miss them as well. Before the last two classes, I had already started the rewrite of book three so progress has been made. I hope to see a massive increase in speed now that homework isn't hanging over my head. We'll be back in Seodrass soon, my friends. Soon.
