I can.
TAKE THAT, ACCOUNTING 200.
Now that I have that out of my system... I just finished up my last assignment for the week. And man does it feel good. I'm currently rocking a 115% in my medical terminology class, which is shaping up to have more work but I feel like I'm managing that well because it's interesting. Accounting spent 3 days kicking my ass before I finally decided I wasn't afraid and I could manage it - so I did.
I'm starting to think that I really can do this. Even when increasing my course load next semester. I can do this.
Wow.
One more week of work and class, then we're off to the beach. Class will likely have to follow, but it will mostly be sun and fun for a few days. I look forward to ocean sunrises and quiet and reconnecting with my little family and my cameras. The next few weeks are going to be fun. It's been a lovely summer, but I'm looking forward to the fall.

Officially Official
I have a student ID and some books. Virtual Campus orientation is tonight, and classes start in a week.
Holy crap, I’m a college student again.

Ohhh back to school
This week I took a leap that I wasn't completely certain I was capable of. I registered for two online classes.
Don't get me wrong, I still think I'm the poster child for what not to do... Like people point and whisper, saying "that's the girl who just registered at the local community college to get an associates degree. Oh, don't be fooled by her looks, she's almost 30."
[Side note: that comment about my looks isn't just my vanity talking. A few years ago I was working part time at a grocery store to help pay for our wedding. Maybe it was the fact that no one I worked with was over 18, but no one believed me when I said I was recommending a wine from experience, and yes, I was really old enough to drink.]
I'm not proud that it's taken me so long. I'm not happy that it took 5 years in a dead end job to finally get me off my duff (in my defense, it only became a true dead end this time last year). I wish I could follow my heart and what I think my true career path should be, but we just aren't there right now. I'm also not celebrating - I'll do that when I'm done. Hopefully that will be next December.
So - as if my writing wasn't sporadic enough, it may be even more so starting later this month. Classes begin 8/22 and finish up 12/16. It should be an interesting few weeks. Wish me luck.
