As stated in the previous entry, I finally feel like I should do something about my life, for real. At least give it a try.

The last days I’ve checked out a few options about doing some online courses to graduate and get my high school diploma. Meaning I could eventually get into a university if I should ever want to (at this point I have no desire to do so). Maybe feel like less of a loser and a moron.

The courses seems to pretty steeply priced, at least compared to my economy at this point. But I figured I’d just start off by buying the necessary books and study on my own, and perhaps signing up for an exam or two if I feel I understand everything. I like the idea of studying in my own pace and doing the exams whenever I want to.

In order to get my diploma, I need to do these courses: Norwegian, English, Natural Science, Sociology, Newer History and Math. All which amounts to more or less 3 years worth of schooling. I’m not quite sure yet what sort of time period I should give myself to complete everything. I only had the money right now to buy one book, which is one of the two newer history books, about global history. If everything goes OK, I’m thinking that I can sign up for the exam this next spring. Then perhaps I’ll have bought a few more books and can sign up for a few more exams the next winter.

I think the hardest part will be the math and natural science courses, but I think I might be able to get myself ready for the exams the spring after this one and have everything finished. Perhaps it’s aiming a bit high, but oh well. I can just redo exams if I fail at anything after all.
