How complicated can I make my schedule?

Hmm, my first blog entry. Well it seems that I'm at it again. Not sure if I'll ever get around to graduating but I am trying again. For those of you who don't know the story, condensed version, goes something a bit like this...

I got the job I wanted, as a computer programmer, based solely on my endless hours sitting in a room with in front of various computers. Everybody always told me I needed a degree in order to get this job but as it turned out I simply needed to be both good at it and have a passion for it. I did/do so I got the job.

About two an half years ago I visited Japan. Whilst I was there I decided I wanted to work there and attended a job interview. The hiring company wanted me and my skills but much to my dismay I learned that I needed either 10 years of on the job experience or a bachelors degree to get a working visa.

Back to the present I am still working towards a working visa but doing so is proving to be difficult since I am not in a position where I can sacrifice my job in order to concentrate on school.

This semesters courses are:

• Japanese 4 (continuing study of the Japanese language)
• Chinese 16A/B/C (3 units of Chinese characters hanzi)
• College Algebra (yeah yeah I know; a programmer still in algebra!? long story)
• Java Programming for Micro Devices (aka cell phones, PDAs, etc...)

Thats all for now folks. :)
