What now? School?

I'm thinking about going back to school. I quit over a year ago for my own reasons, one of which being I needed to work full time to support myself and I was too exhausted to work 30-40+ hours a week plus school.

I have a credit in Family Studies 120, Visual Arts 110, Fashion Design 120, Theater Arts 120, and I have a paper signed by the princepal of a school on the otherside of the city saying that I completed semester one of English 112. So I have basically 4-5 of 21 possible credits, needing 17 to graduate and you typically take 5 courses per semester here in School District 2, New Brunswick, Canada. I'm still lacking my history and science credit. I've only failed one course in my life and it tipped me over the edge (another reason I quit) Math 11A(level 2) I also need my English 112 completed and Eng 12. It will probably take me 2 or 3 semsters to graduate. I was due to Graduate June 2007, but that would be an unrealistic exspectation.

My son was born December 7th, he is breastfed, the 3 of us do not live with parents, we have our own apartement. I'm on maternity leave, 50 weeks, I have around 37 weeks of it left. Semester 2 starts the end of January should I attempt to go back then?

I would try to take some classes. I wouldn't overload myself and cause damage, but if there are aome classes you can take online ask about those. I mean...that's my opinion I would.

yeah I'd like to but I'm scared I really need some advice

what do you need advice on mami?

Well, I know I should but when is the debate. I'd really like to have someone help me go through things logically. Like weighting pros and cons. Do you know anyone who tried to go back with their baby less than 2 months old? Jason, (we're common law) said that I should wait until September but I'll be EIGHTEEN a month after that and just restarting grade 11! How pathedic! If I go now I'll only be a year behind and lots of people are just one year behind. And I can have my graduation in 2008 instead of 2009! which it will be if I wait. But, Jason says it will be too hard if I try to go back at the end of the month. I'm so upset and consufed right now! I don't know what to do!!

you should attempt to go back. set an example for your little one.

Are you in school now? If you are how are you finding it?

The longer you wait to school the less likely it is that you will go back...do it!!

If you are worried about your baby being breastfed, get a pump! It will help out so much.

Good luck to you!
