School Daze

I got my book list today for my classes. Did I mention school yet? I don’t think so. Well, I’m going back to college in the fall. I’m only taking two classes and they’re both online, because that works out best for me. (Any more classes than that and my brain explodes.) I’m taking a basic English Composition class (I can’t believe my English class didn’t transfer. Grrr!) and a History class. The book list doesn’t look too bad, just three books. I’m going to look around and see if I can find them elsewhere first though, rather than buying immediately from the bookstore.

School time always presents it’s own challenges but since I’m not working, that should lessen some. I’ve found that nap times and bedtimes are your friend for homework. That does sometimes mean that you’re up late studying, but that’s just the way it works out. I really like school, which sounds odd, I guess. But sometimes as a Mom, I feel like half my brain has fallen out! I used to know facts and dates and now I can barely remember what state I live in. School is a way for me to “get some more smarts” in a way, or at least keep my brain working. And eventually, I suppose it will be worth it because I’ll have a degree. (Ten years from now, probably…haha.) I still don’t really know exactly what I want to be or do but I’ve narrowed it down a lot. Anyway, I’m off to look for discount textbooks.
