I'm not really a self-motivated person, but I've made the decision to take an Excellsior exam to receive my credits for Anatomy & Physiology II. The exam actually counts for part I and II, so I'll have duplicate credits for part I.
In order to do this though, I have started spending Thursday nights at Panera Bread. It's been working well so far. I pick up the boy from daycare, meet the hubby for dinner and baby swap, then stay at Panera for 3 hours until closing. I'm pretty proud of myself and I think I'll do ok on the exam. I was hoping to take it in June, but I'm not sure I'll be ready by then. I may have to increase my Panera Bread time to 2 nights a week, or else try to get some studying done at home as well. I have a lot of trouble with that though, as I'm always distracted by the boy, or the dishes, or the bed :)
Closing time now so I have to go. Send me "good studying" vibes so I can stay motivated and pass this exam (which I've already paid for!!)
