A Brief Aside

I started a new stage in my life recently - I went back to school! I have been thinking of continuing my education for some time but never pursued it.  I finally bit the bullet and discussed it with my husband and when he said I should go for it I did. 

I am enrolled at the University of Phoenix just about to finish my first semester and really enjoying it.  I am majoring in Communications.  I was concerned about starting all over again, but surprisingly I was able to transfer 28 hours from my mispent youth so come this time next year I will have my first degree.  I will then continue on up the educational ladder, as far as I am concerned the sky's the limit.  I didn't think I was going to be able to do this, but I actually have a 100 in one class and a 95 in the other - I wish I had done this sooner.

Everyone is being so supportive I really can't believe it.  The hours are long but I know they are going to be worth it and I know that having my son see me excel in my classes will show him how important college is.  I even try to involve him in some of my discussions getting his opinions on different issues we happen to be covering. I think he finds it interesting, especially my Cultural Diversity discussions.

I really can't wait to see where this takes me, it is so exciting.  I can feel things bubbling up inside of myself just waiting to explode into the world and I know I can do whatever I set my mind to.  There is no stopping me this time!
