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

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!!!

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
