I am doing it...finally.

[lovetoread]

Going back to school.

I havent been to school since I dropped out when I was 17 and pregnant.

I went and did all the paperwork for financial aid.

I go tomorrow night for orientation and to pick up my laptop.

If all the paperwork goes through I start on Monday night.

In 14 months I will be in Networking.

I will be so disappointed if on Monday they tell me that I cannot do it at this moment,but if I cant,then its off to the workforce to save up the money to go.

What a birthday present to myself.

I am happy and scared.

Gawd. Life is funny sometimes. I have a 12 year old child who told me today that she knew I could do anything I wanted to.

That made me cry.

I got a group of good kids.

Okay my rambling is done.

Congratulations!

Wow! congratulations and good luck from one Networking major to another.


Laptop?? I didn't get to take home a laptop! Guess that's what I get for going to a school with the nickname of "Bullshit University"

 

[cutie pie]

Good for you, lovetoread!! You've made the decision and taken the first step - that's the hardest part. Congrats!

 

[lovetoread]

Thank you everyone.

They add the price of the laptop to the amount you have to pay...but they tell ya that they give you one.

 

[LukkyKnight]

Can I borrow the woman in your avatar 'til you're graduated? You can have her back then, honest - I just don't want anything to distract you from your academic progress.

Good for you lovetoread. I am also finishing my degree after years of putting it off. Just keep plowing ahead. It's will get done.

 

[Raina]

Thank you everyone.

LOL! Then I guess I am glad that I didn't get one. My school was pretty cheap compared to others.

 

[Rambling Rose]

I felt so old when I was walking around looking inside classes. There be babies in some of those classes.
