I just completed my my first semester back at college! I got A's in both Speech AND College Algebra! Not bad for an age 57, tired, rusty brain!
I really enjoyed my classes but did I learn some things about college life. I'll be posting my first "exposé" on my Empty Nest Mom goes to College in the next week.
I have a lot of catching up to do - a newsletter to get out to all my subscribers, some editing work on my Oklahoma History Online curriculum, housework and gardening to catch up, and I'm going on a mini-celebration vacation with my daughter, Shelly. We're going to Dallas together and shop til we drop and eat!
She and I are going back to college at the same time. How fun is that! She is 30 and quit college her first time through just as I did. The main difference is that she has a 3.6 GPA and I have a 2.1 GPA from my old college years. Suffice it to say that I have a lot of A's to get to catch up! Especially since I have 94 credits already! (Only 48 of them count towards my major in Journalism. Tell that to your kids who want to quit too soon!) |
