And I'm so excited!
This semester I am taking a full blown First Aid & Emergency Care course (I am already certified, but I need the credit) and a psychology class - Life Span Development which will cover birth through death. I can't wait for that last one in particular!
I ordered my books over 2 weeks ago, but one of them hasn't arrived yet, so since I received an assignment in that book (4 chapters to read and a bunch of questions to answer!) I am thinking I may just go buy one at the college bookstore at twice the price. I am going to also check and see if I can get it on my Nook for cheap...I may go that route.
So like a couple of little 3rd graders, difficult child and I went to buy school supplies last week! We bought our notebooks, some folders and difficult child needed pens. It was fun - not quite as expensive or fun as it was when they were little, but since we're both only taking a couple of classes, it was still fun.
difficult child started an online class: Event Planning Management, which is part of a larger program to help learn some great skills that I thought would benefit her no matter what she ends up doing with herself. It covers time management, organization, public speaking, and other great stuff. She's interested and the classes only run 6 weeks and cost $99/each, so I am more than happy to cover that for her - she would actually be doing something!!!!
The only down side to one class is that I discovered a girl is in my class that I knew when she was in easy child's girl scout troop from when I was the leader...I see her from time to time at the local CVS. Nice girl, but I feel a little weird being in class with her. I will get over it.
So, I am psyched! Any other adult students? I know you're out there...are you excited?
