What do I want to do when I grow up?


Can you really go back to school?

I sometimes have dreams about high school. They usually have something to do with being late, being unable to remember my schedule or locker combination or being naked. (Okay, high school really wasn't that great.)

Now, I've decided to go back to school. It has been a long time coming. With one child in college and another in high school, I feel that I should at least get my AS before my youngest gets his. I've been putting this off for many years.

My fears are that I will be soooooo incredibly old in the classes. I have my dear friend Glena to help me through this. She is almost as old as I am, so we will be ancient together.

I'm also afraid that I will not be able to learn like I used to. It has been many years since I have taken learning seriously and I might have to jumpstart the old brain. It's important that I get good grades so that my company will reimburse me for the costs of classes.

I do look forward to the exchange of new ideas and to listening to others perspectives on things. I am interested in learning more about human nature and the effects that one person can have on another. Maybe I should go into psychology.

For now, it's general studies and I will work on figuring out what I want to be when I grow UP.
