I passed my assessment this past Sunday. Two classes down, technically two more to go before the end of the term but that's not going to happen. I'd need to take two tests and put together a project before the 31st and I haven't even started one of the classes. So, they get pushed to next term. Not ideal, but it works for now.
I'm starting to work on those other two classes though. And a third one that I will be taking next term. I'm hoping to get my butt in gear enough that I can actually add a fourth class. We'll see.
Until next time, remember databases, networks, and project management are only as boring as you think they are. ;)

Passed my Pre-Assessment! What Do You Mean Now I Have To Take the Test?
I took my Database Foundations pre-assessment yesterday. Yay for me, I passed. That was awesome.
So now I have to take the assessment on Sunday. Okay, I'm choosing to take it on Sunday. Sunday seemed like a good day since it's supposed to be in the 70's. High 70's but not 90's. So I should be able to take the test and not die of heat exhaustion while I'm testing.
That will give me two classes done this term. Not as many as I needed but better than none.
I am seriously suspicious that the school is watching my account and planning for the school site to be down on days leading up to my assessments. A reasonable paranoia since this is like the third or fourth time I've scheduled an assessment and then found out the student portal will be down between when I've scheduled it for and when my test is. Which kind of gets in the way of last minute study time. Which maybe means I need to be more ready for the test when I schedule it.
Or they need to quit watching my account. You know, whatever.
So I should be done with this database class by this time next week and neck deep in networks and my other database class. Oh joy. Just the two topics I want to spend time on.
I'd make a joke here about pursuing another career but I've been too frustrated the past few terms for anyone to realize I'm kidding, so let me just say, I will get this degree. I will get through the next term. I will not change my major again. I will not kill anyone as I work toward my degree. Music Man is planning to get me boxing gloves so I can take my frustrations out at the gym. :)
Okay, off to review while I can. Have a great week!
