Life of an Older College Student...AKA

I had totally forgotten about this thread! Been too busy with school, I guess! lol But I am very, very, deliriously happy to announce,


I FINALLY GRADUATE ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!




And then, of course, I'm going off to celebrate with The Mouse.

Since 2005, I have had no weekends and no life... and I will be in debt the rest of my life... but I will finally be able to say -- to myself and to my son -- that I did it. It feels SO good.


Congrats, Gina!!! I'm sure we all wish we were in your shoes!!
 
I didn't think you were ignoring me. I just figured that you were busy and hadn't checked in becaue you'd been having "one of those days" for a month.

You know one the days where you woke up, took kids to school, went to class, wrote a paper, took kids to practice, cleaned up the house, made dinner, and only remembered at midnight that you hadn't eaten anything all day except some M&M's and a Coke you snatched form a vending machine between classes that morning?:rotfl2:


LOL!! Have you been spying on me?? I bolted straight out of bed the other night at 11:30 because I realized I hadn't turned in a big assignment... and it was due at midnight. And I hadn't turned it in yet because there was one essay question I couldn't find the answer to and was going to come back to it, then forgot all about it with the kajillion other papers I had to write. But I got the assignment turned in, with 5 minutes to spare!!

Did I mention how glad I will be to have all this behind me??? lol



As for life, it's good. In a much nicer, larger home than before. Plenty of room for me to study and banish the kids to their room when I go back in January. I don't think thigs will ever be normal again, though. In a good way. Now I try to let the small stuff go and remember what's really important. Good luck to all!!


You are so right about keeping in mind what's really important... thanks for the reminder. :hug:
