well, this is the frist step  — 1 day ago

my ultimate goal is a masters degree but I will be quite happy with this one class for now. It is something I miss since I left South Carolina. I am thrilled to be back in a learning environment.

pick up my books  — 4 days ago

tuesday. Woo Hoo!

I made arrangements on tuition  — 2 weeks ago

payments over four months time. I guess I am going back to school!!!! Yah!!

Now the best part, buying notebooks and folders and new pens. I am such a suck for back to school supplies.

Classes start Sept 2nd

I have a class on wednesday from 3-6. I am hoping that it will work out for me since I finish work at seven in the morning and I will need to gt some sleep in before I get up and go to school. The toastmasters club meets the same night a little later and I will be downtown so maybe it will be a good time to join that as well. I might just have to pop in for a meeting.

registered for class yesterday  — 2 weeks ago

now I just have to figure out how to pay for it.

tried registering for classes  — 3 weeks ago

online and nothing seemed to work. Looks like I need to take my butt down to the school and do this in person. I really was trying to avoid this because I hate going downtown. (I love downtown but I hate having to park.) So I will find my transcripts and head down there to register for my one class.

Enjoying this seminar  — 4 weeks ago

and it is fun to learn something new. In all reality it has helped me be a little more clear about what I want to do with my life. I haven’t been able to figure out where I want to finish my degree and I think I might be a little closer now to making a decision.

just signed up for an online class  — 1 month ago

not for college credit but for fun. University fo Vermont has education to go, which is short classes online. I thought nit would get me back in the habit of thinking again, shcool wise I mean.

First steps. I am so happy.

Applied at the Community College of Vermont  — 1 month ago

and they accepted me. (rolling admissions)I have some papers to fill out and tuition to pay but I think that this will happen. Interpersonal and small group communication, I am hoping that it will help my relationships even. I know it will also increase my self-esteem just because that is what school does for me.

there is a class  — 2 months ago

I have wanted to take for quite some time, a communication class that will help me at work as much as in my personal life. I saw that the schedule of the class fits in well with my work hours, Wed from 3-6. I can handle that. It is not quite what I expected to be doing. I am not really sure about going the technical route here at this job. Am I too old to begin a new line of work? Is the idea of going back to school for something that only might make me more money in the longrun? Or should I take the time and return to school for soemthing else more in the way of numbers or nursing? I am pretty much gauranteed to get a good paying job in that line of work. But is it my true life’s work? Who knows, it feels like I have spent more time worrying about making enough money to support myself and the girls that the idea of just working at something I love seems a little less important. Now that I want to make it more of a focus, I don’t even know where to begin.

so much going on right now  — 3 months ago

but I took out my planner today. That in itself is a good feeling and I scheduled all that is necessary for the next month and I feel better already, like there is a plan at least. (I guess that is my way of staying in control.) It looks like there will be time to begin investigating this option by mid-June. After my birthday but before my motorcycle class.
