back to school agayn
Mike and I went in and talked to a counselor at one of the local colleges today, and when we walked out, we were both signed up for classes. They don't start for another month or so, but I'm still excited. I'm closer to getting a degree than I thought I was (approx. 1/3 of the way to an associate's degree), and that's exciting. Instead of taking another nine years to get an it, it might only take me two or three. I'm also excited because taking five classes will get me a certificate in something that will help me finally get my ass in gear for my business. Both of my classes are online, which is both good and bad. I like not having to go into class and deal with real people face-to-face if I don't have to, and taking the classes online will certainly not have the same impact on my evenings as staying on campus until 9:45 would. On the other hand, part of what I love about going back to school is buying school supplies, and I'm not sure just how much I'm going to need supply-wise if I'm not physically in the class. I can be such a nerd sometimes.

YAY... Good for you!! All of my classes are online and I am working on my AA in Criminial Justice/Investigations. Some of the classes I love, some I hate. But that is ok. I'm getting through it, two classes a semester. I'm a year and a half into it and I think I have another 1.5 years to go. When I graduate, I will have the opportunity to go to the Ceremony in Florida (that's where my classes out of) and receive my Diploma. You just really need to make time for class work. Even if it is an hour every other day. Sometimes, it sucks. Other times, you feel good about it. Best of luck to you. :)

Thanks, Liz! I'm really jazzed about all of this, and I'm determined to make schoolwork as much a part of my daily routine as my gym time in ordert to avoid the "holy shit, this is due in 10 minutes" thing I previously had down to a science.
