May. 2, 2007 - I'm going back to College!

Yes, after 32 years I am finally going to go back and finish my college degree and my daughter is going to go with me! Won't that be fun! She already has a GPA that is way higher than mine! I currently have 94 credits but I discovered that only 48 of them will actually count towards my degree. I also have to make us some lower level courses that I never took such as College Algebra, Calculus, and Statistics - UGH!  I figured out that I will be 62 when I graduate! Pray for me!

Wow, that is amazing Cindy! Too bad all your credits won't transfer. Are you physically going back, you going via computer? Sounds fun -- kinda. :) I never finished my degree either and have toyed with the idea off and on, but I'm not sure what I would do with the degree once I got it. For right now anyways, I don't think it would help me with anything I am doing or want to do, so I will just keep my mushy brain in a holding pattern. Have a nice day!

With your daughter? That is FANTASTIC!!!

You are a brave woman, Cindy-- and those professors better watch out. I bet they're not used to a seasoned vet who won't just roll over and accept any old thing that comes from their mouth.

Congrats!
Marsha

PS what are you planning to get your degree in?
