Nana~ 4 Posted August 20, 2006 29 years old and just starting collage! I don’t care I’m excited! So what and when am I taking class? I am taking my 2 Year Associate of Science Degree. Health and Kinesiology. I start on the 29th of August!!! I start with my “Government” and “Stretch and flexibility” course. Then in Sept (25th) I start my “Math”, and “Athletic Injury” courses. In Oct. I finish my GOVT. class and start my ”Speech” course. Then everything comes to an end in Dec. Last class ending on the 17th. I am taking 5 classes, 13 hour credits. I like the way my classes are spread out; it gives me time to pay for the books! LOL Anyhow, I knew I was signing up for collage but I had no idea I would take off this fast! So now I am having to re-think my previous plans.. I will not be attending the Girls Scout Trailblazers camping event I have class that weekend…. I will not be able to fly to my Friends wedding in Oct. as I had been planning to do I have class… Neither, Sunday Belly dance guild nor Tuesday Fighter practice will be affected by “MY” classes (YAY) we are still waiting to see what Dales class Schedule will be. Since Belly dance is not affected the Girl Scout meetings wont be either! Labor Day and Emer’s Birthday should be in the clear too! Halloween the only class I’ll have that Tuesday ends at 10:45 am! Weeeeeeeee! I have no idea about November holidays compared to my classes, but I will be out before Yule Holidays! Our weeks just got a lot more crowded! I can’t wait to see what Dale is taking! I know we will have the same English comp 1 class. All right enough already, I know your bored reading this LOL Nana~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhotoNut 7 Posted August 20, 2006 Way to go Nana! I went to college when I was 36. You'll love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MicmaddLapBand 0 Posted August 20, 2006 YOU GO!!! - YOU will love it. It really fives you a greater sense of self worth - or at least it did me. After concentrating so long on my family - I needed to do something for me. School was first and Lap Band was second - hmmmm wonder what will be third. I am 33 now and in Nursing School - for the past two years I have worked on my core classes and now I am starting the real thing tomorrow!!! I waited 13 years from the time I graduated high school to go back to college. I have a husband and three kids (7yr, 3yr, and 11 months) and school full time - it's tough - but worth it. GOOD LUCK!!!

Devana 0 Posted August 22, 2006 Congratulations, Nana, a new adventure is about to begin. I went back to school at 29, too, for seven years. At a low point about halfway through my first year I was bellyaching to my sister about how I was going to be 36 by the time I was finished, and she said to me "You're going to be that old anyway, what do you want to be doing then?" That sustained me through any further low periods, and I have absolutely no regrets. So remember that if you ever feel like giving up, the time passes no matter what you are doing.
