Fall semester starting.

[Maritxu]

I am in my 5th year of Psychology and I start my fall semester on 1st of October. These are my classes:

Psychology and group dinamics
Behaviour modification
Psychological advice techniques
Practicum (that's what we call out intern time or practise semester, I don't know where I'm going, but it's similar to working part time)


And because I am specialized in Social psychology, I'm taking these extra classes:

Enviormental psychology
Sport Psychology


Finally, in my last, other than going on with the Practicum (it's on the whole year), I will have:

Humanist psychology techniques
Intervention and psychological treatment techniques
Group intervention strategies

And for my specialization:

Free time (if I can say it like that, lol) psychology


I may take criminology too, depending on the time of the classes.

Grace, this might not be encouraging...but honestly, that is a LOT of classes. When I was going to school and NOT working, without kids, I couldn't handle more than 5. I honestly wouldn't take on more than that if you are not feeling motivated. If you really put your mind to it I'm sure you could do it, but you need to pull some strength from somewhere for this.

Except for this year and third year, I always took 6 classes per semester at least, lol. And this year I even have the practice semester, lol. I think if you work hard, you can do it.

good lord, I didnt realize how many SMART people are on this site.

My semester doest start until oct 20. I cant wait. Luckily my semesters only last 6 weeks or so. But I am only gonna take 2 classes because I know I cant juggle more than that. (not with working a full time job and being a full time mom)


Gracie you can do it. Just put your mind to it.

Good luck to you V It's great that being a mom and working you deide to study. What classes are you going to take?

we end like dec. 20th or something ridiculous!

That is toooooooo close, you are right.

I don't think I could handle that with the kids and all. It would definitely be pushing it.

After reading this thread, I am happier than ever to be out of college. I have a degree that took 6 years (that is how long the program was), and I am so glad it's over.

What did you go for Breath?

Yep I'm use to taking a lot of classes at once. Your right, the hard work pays off.

doesn't psychology rock? In Spain you can't make a BA in psychology though, you have to make the two master years or you won't get a degree.
