The ultimate goal is a master's degree, I think. Right now, I am a few classes away from an associates. I had to withdraw from 4yr university, due to mental illness and being overwhelmed and hospitalized more than once. I started uni in 2001. Still no degree. It's started to feel impossible.

I did decide one thing I could do... there is a game that I used to play, that has a monthly pay to play fee.

I told myself that if I could get chapter 1 done today (today being the key word there), I would subscribe again. Then, in order to get game time in any given day, I need to meet some sort of goal for that day. For example, I have T on Mondays, and I have a tendency to feel like not going and I will call her to cancel/reschedule. If I do not go to T, I do not get to play. I will pick a 2 or 3 days to work on school, and then if I don't meet my goal for how much I need to do that day, I don't get to play.

I did finish the required questions for chapter 1, around 9pm. Since it was so late in the day, I didn't do the subscription yet. I will either do that or get a prepaid card that is 2 mos worth tomorrow.

There is an optional short essay for each chapter that I do intend to do, but I want to do the required question for the whole unit before doing those, to make sure I get it in on time.
