Back to School - Part 2

I have a full time job that consumes me. I have a son who demands more attention that an average newborn. I am a newlywed whose husband just got promoted and is now working 16 hour days. I have a dog. I have grubs in my garden. I have 10 pounds to lose. Let's face it... I'm busy.

So I figured now would be the perfect time to head back to school!

I spent my formative college years at West Virginia University.
Ahhh... the Mountaineers.



They were wonderful times filled with learning... about things like friendship, Grateful Dead lyrics, and political opinions. I became an uber feminist at this time. I wore more tye dye than any one human should ever wear. I experienced the true greatness of nickel beers at a place called The Dungeon.
Things I didn't spend a large amount of time on (confirmed by my recently received transcript) were classes, studying and my education.

It's been on my list of regrets for 13 years now. It's frustrating as hell to pay off a rather large sum of money for a school loan that did not earn me a degree.



It's not as though I haven't found success without it... it just sucks to leave something unfinished. I don't feel the need to get my degree to boost my career exactly. I just feel the need to learn. To set an example for my son. To finish something left undone. To make my father proud. To experience college in a completely different way.

So I'm done making excuses.
No more...
-I don't have time.
-I don't have the money.
-It will take too long to finish.
-I can't.

And starting Friday... you will find me two days a week at fabulous UNLV!



I'm starting with an executive business course offered to me by the fantastic company I work for! Then... I'm going to take a quick summer session class in June. I'm figuring on 2 classes a semester.

Current goal - Bachelors in Hotel Administration by the ripe, young age of 35!
(Let's just hope I don't gain the Freshman 15 this time!)
