I did my college assessment today, and I'm not as dumb book wise as I thought.
I get to take the "big kids" college courses and no remedial. Not bad for someone that got out of school 35 years ago, with only a GED so she could join the Air Force!!!
It'll be 3 months before school starts (I think) time for some recovery after surgery.
I'm taking political science.
I'm just so excited. Both my children will be juniors next year, and their Mom, a Freshman!!!

    I've never found you to be a "dumb cookie" either, LOL:)

    Happy for you - now you won't have to buy books, you can get them passed down.

    Political Science - that's heavy duty stuff - best of luck to you!!!

    Excellent!
    I took Physics and Anatomy years ago to prove I could. Made a's in both. It was very fulfilling. More importantly, you are investing in your future. Excellent!

    That's an encouragement to me!

    I feel like a 5 year old
    Looking out the window, waiting on the yellow school bus to arrive for my first day. And then Mom informs me, school doesn't start until February, turning the calendar over December and then January, at which point I yell, WHERE IS THE REST OF THE COLON CALENDAR MODELS PICTURES???????
    LMAO

    Wow
    That's so great. I'm proud of you. I went back to college a couple of times ... sssshhhh! don't tell anyone or that might start expecting things from me.

    As you get used to using your brain in the "college way" you'll find out so much about your self and all sorts of things. What a great and exciting time this will be for you. Congratulations!!

    Way to go and I'm sure you'll do just fine. What college are you going to be attending?
    I went to OSU for a few courses but, I was working a full time job, had 3 kids in jr and sr. high school, and maintaining a household while husband worked 3rd shift. I didnt last long in college. :( but I sure enjoyed it. I hope you will too.
