Once Again a Student........

After years and years of trying to muster the courage and somehow find the time and money, I am once again a college student....

As the procrasinator that I am, I decided Friday (the last day to register for classes) that I better get on the ball if I were going to get started back.... I hated to let yet another semester go by without making some sort of effort.... So, with my mind and body a bundle of nerves, I managed to spend an entire day at the Prestonsburg campus of Big Sandy Community and Technical College and come home with a Children's Literature class to begin! Yes, it's only one class, but it's a start... With a 2 1/2 year old, a part-time job and an empty pocketbook, I decided that the one would suffice for now... I'll just be getting my feet wet I suppose...

I am strangely excited to be starting back but horribly nervous at the same time... I would have never imagined that I - being what I feel like is a fairly self-sufficient person - would be sitting in the parking lot of the college ready to turn around and come home because I felt so sick at my stomach....... I somehow managed - and on my own (with a lot of prayers to God so I guess I shouldn't say I was on my own) to enroll for my first step to finishing the education I have always desired to complete......

Now, let's see how this procrastinator survives the return to the collegiate world.... Wish me luck or better yet send up lots of prayers!!! I'm sure I'll need them!
