back to school days


WOOHOOOO

OK I know it's silly but after 36 years I decided to go back to school. I have money that will disappear from the VA (1K a month) if I don't start this semester so I did it (it expires after 10 years of leaving the military.

I signed up, I registered, I re-tested my entrance exams. I scored for Honors English, go figure. I am going to take:

Business Law
College Algebra
Art Appreciation
Biology

Full time is going to be a bit of a challenge with my work load but then again I have some flexibility and 2 of my classes will be online.

I am actually excited and maybe even giddy....LOL

Yeah man. I will actually be finishing my degree when my son is entering college, if I go for my masters we can both pledge together at some fraternity...

Hey Surge,

I did the same thing as you man. I never went to school in the first place though and only went to college when I left the Coast Guard. It is a pain in the arse going back when you are an adult, but at the same time you will find that you are most likely an A student. Most returning adults are far more serious about education than when they went and partied back in the 80's. I see it every day in my job.

I prefer the adult students cos they actually give a frig.

I am proud of you man. What kind of major are you looking at?

Colie.
