One Semester Down, Six To Go

My career transformation is 1/7th complete, tack on 6 credit hours to my official transcript...unfortunately 6 hours is the max you can take during a summer session but it was certainly better than nothing. Classes went well, and I'm actually glad I decided to do a summer session since it allowed me to get back into the swing of things as well as get to know the UNCC campus. The real pain begins tomorrow when I start a 17 hour load for fall semester. I did not choose 17 hours by choice; in order for me to have the requisite 60 hours to enter UNC as a Junior next year I'll have to do 17 hours this semester and at least 16 next semester. The good news is that I'll get to take next summer off (or at least just do a light load in preparation for Chapel Hill).

Thankfully I also get to start taking classes in my major this semester as well. Even though I'm only 6 hours into it, I know in my heart of hearts I'm making the right decision. Some of my friends think I've lost my mind, but overall the reaction has been positive. I cannot remember the last time I was happier. I have been doing some web consulting on the side, and have launched a couple of new sites for some local businesses and artists, and will probably continue to to do so since it wasn't computers and coding that I left...just IT. But overall confidence is very high, and here's looking forward to a great fall semester.
