so now then

Class starts in three hours.

I left college five years ago and I'm finally going back, starting tonight.

It seemed a thing worth noting.

Go you!

I should learn from your example...

[elite]

You should! No time like the present, as they say.

I know it's going to take up a lot of my time and change my life for some years, but my reasoning is that I could either be a 28-year-old with a degree, or a 28-year-old looking back and wishing I'd gone back to school when I was 24. So, I picked the first one and I hope it works out. :)

YAY! Have a great time! I found it a lot easier going back than I feared it would be. *hugs*

[elite]

It seems easier than I thought so far! I signed up, got my books, went to my first class, did my first homework assignment. One foot in front of the other, like. :)

And all the time I've felt like, wait - shouldn't I be getting somebody's signature on a permission slip? Shouldn't somebody be trying to stop me? How is this all there is to do? Where's the catch?

*pompoms* Yay! (My brain is going: mmmm, schoooool. *g*) Good luck with it, I hope it goes well. :)

Thank you! I should have gone back sooner, really, but I'm glad I waited until my life was where I wanted it, and I felt ready.

Also, I'm trying to sustain the feeling of excitement and newness for as long as possible. :)

Congrats, and have fun! ;) I'm currently in the "out of school" phase but am eagerly waiting to go back.

I'm excited to be going back! I was just a kid when I first went to college - kept skipping class to go to concerts or sleep or hang out with my boyfriend. My heart wasn't in it and I withdrew from everything. Lame.

Now I feel like I have my priorities in line and my life basically in order, so I can go back and bulk up my pitiful transcript with goodness and transfer credits. :)
