Almost 40 and back to School....am I crazy?

Most of my friends and family don't know but I start Summer semester at Bellevue College on Monday June 29. I am excited and prep myself daily for the start back up on my AA in Business. I have had about a 20 year hiatus, I think there are no excuses left! Long term my classes are transferable to UW and/or EWU. I will pursue my bachelors in either Business or Industrial Engineering, I have time to decide which way I go. This is a personal drive plus I always look at ways to get the upper hand on my generation if heaven forbid I need or want to change careers.

I will be starting out slow with one class Summer and Fall semester. If all goes well I will jump up to 2 classes for Winter 2010.

Wish me luck!

You are finally doing what you should have done years ago. Good luck, but you won't need it. You have all your ducks in a row now. Don't let anyone or anything stand in your way this time.

Thanks! I had attended community college after high school but that was so long ago. When I requested my transcripts, half the classes I honestly don't remember taking, I just laughed and thought boy it must have been a long time ago. I'm excited to get back at it.

I look forward to your blogging about being back into the "college" mode. I have heard it is difficult after being away. I know there are classes some people take to re-teach them how to study.
