back to school

I've finally decided that I don't want to sit in the same mundane job for the rest of my life...therefore, I am going back to school!

Hopefully, starting in September, I will begin the long road to completing my degree in social work.

I say long road because I will have to do it part time. I can't afford to quit the mundane job coz I still have to put food on the table...not to mention keeping the roof over said table!

If I were a fresh out of highschool grad, I would do 2 years at main, then in the 3rd & 4th years I'd be at King's which is an affiliate of Western, not part of...but my degree will be confered by Western - it's confusing...anyhow...

I have a meeting with the mature student advisor on the 9th and from there I guess I'll get transcripts together - I should probably order them now to facilitate the process...to find out what transfer and/or life experience credits I'm entitled to. I'd like to start in September, but if not there's always January admissions.

I guess there is something to being older when you go back to school...I wonder if I can apply for extra credit in human relations....LMAO

Ben thinks that's just crazy talk...lol...he can't wait to get out of school - at least for now. I am hoping that someday he'll see the true value of a good education and stick with it or, do as I am, and return at a later date.
