I feel all adult like. Forget that I have two children and have been married for four years come this July..that means nothing ;), but THIS...this makes me feel like a grown up..
I'm going back to school, holy shit!
I am so excited to finally be going back, but at the same time I am terrified. I haven't been in school since I graduated from high school in May 2005, except for two weeks that is.
Yup, I'm a college drop out, I don't really consider myself one though. I was only enrolled for two weeks before dropping out after getting that positive pregnancy test, so it's not like I actually did much college work. I don't think I even took a test.
For the past four years I have been playing the mom/wife card. You know, raising kids and taking care of a home while trying to not kill my husband for leaving his dirty clothes all over my house. Yeah, the mom/wife card, you know the one.
I could of returned to college but I didn't WANT too. I know me and in knowing me, I knew that I wouldn't 100% apply myself to my classes unless I wanted to be there. Well, I am finally ready and wanting to go back. That and Tim asked me to return to work...and I'd rather go to school than get a damn job, working makes me ill. Seriously, ill.
Mackenzie will be enrolled in full day kindergarten and Madison will be placed in childcare. I plan on only taking two classes this upcoming fall, in hopes of not overwhelming myself right off the bat. I want to take my math class in a classroom since I suck at math and I know that I won't be able to do it online. Thankfully I will be close enough to Round Rock that I can drive to the ACC campus by TeraVista to take the math class there. I am hoping to be able to take my other class online, hoping for English or History for my first semester. We are guaranteed two years at Fort Hood and I'm hoping to be able to knock out my associates before the Army moves us.
If I am able to handle the two classes, a house and two children without being overwhelmed, I hope to be able to take 3 classes in the spring of 2011. I may take classes during the summer also, trying to play catch up since I won't be going full time. So far this is my college plan.
I am thinking of pursuing teaching for my bachelors. I would have my holidays and summers off with my girls and not need to worry about childcare in the summer when they are out on break. Right now I am just playing with the idea...but that is my plan! Wish me luck
