My third grade teacher, Mrs. Schell, had a sign next to the clock in our classroom that said "Time Passes- Will You?"
I was always afraid that I would fail or be held back... And had dreams to back up those feelings. Fortunately, I managed to persist and now I am 12 credits away form an AA degree.
I am now taking a Psychology class and am delighted with the content. We are discussing relevant issues like Stress Management. It's another online class, which I prefer.
This will be my second attempt at General Psychology. I tried to take it 20 years ago but had to drop all classes when my fathers death and a relationship breakup left me am emotional mess. I'm kind of glad I am taking it now. At that time that class was just a rendering of facts that what was thought was true at that time and dated. This class will actually help me to be a better person and teach me how to deal with the people around me in a positive manner. I am excited.

Ready to begin again. I can't believe I haven't written anything in almost a year. After all the horror of 4 hurricanes, being diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis in my right hip, my elderly mother's death from 4th stage cancer and a lucky break (literally a broken sternum) for my faux mother in law when she totalled her Cadillac at a busy intersection, I am ready to begin school again. I took the semester off because of all the trauma I suffered from these events starting in August. What I thought would be a quiet 2 week break in between semesters turned out to be a 6 month sabbatical.
This term I'm taking on a Freshman Composition 2 class. I've been putting it off because secretly I fear writing. But, as you know, the more you practice something, the better you get at it...hence one of the reasons for blogging.
Plus it's an online class. I don't have to drag myself on campus especially on those days when my body won't let me go 10 feet from my bathroom door. Isn't technology wonderful?
