So I started school today (Just got home in fact. First days are always the shortest). I haven't been in school for five years so I thought I would start slow, you know, with one class, see how it goes.
Since the summer quarter is a lot shorter they only offer certain classes at certain times and the only one that fit into my schedule and fulfilled one of my requirements was English 201 Research papers... What was I thinking?! Research papers! That isn't baby steps, that is like a giant leap. I should be taking a PE class or an Art class or I don't know anything but this! *Note- When I say anything but this, that excludes all Math and Lab Science classes. Those will come later when I am better prepared and the shock of going to school again has worn off.

So this class is Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6:00pm to 9:45pm for six weeks. Again, what was I thinking? I decided that it was perfect because at the time I was working 40 hours a week and thought I could only handle one class. Well, now that I have quit my job and am looking for one with more flexible hours I should have rearranged my school schedule and maybe taken more classes.
For right now, I think I have enough on my plate and all I can say is I hope it tastes better than it looks. Oh well. At least the teacher seems nice. So wish me luck and I will keep you updated on what my research topic shall be and how the paper is coming along.
P.S. Any ideas and pointers will help---talking to you Mrs. Morris

I am glad you are back in school. You better stick it out this time. I like doing research. Writing the papers, that's another story. You will do fine! I would love to know what your topics will be! Good luck!
I am totally here for ya!
Hey missy - just be encouraged b/c the first classes are ALWAYS so overwhelming, what with the sylubus and everything. Just take it one step at a time! You are a sharp lady, it will be so good for you once you crest the hill.
