School

I'm a little disappointed! Went out to WIU today to evaluate for tests and talk to an adviser about going back to school. I was really hoping I could get a degree in Computer Science with the allowed 2 years. After seeing the requirements, I'm not so sure I can do it. It is possible if I take a full load for 4 semisters and also 2 summer sessions. That is - IF - the right courses are offered in the summer. I'm not looking forward to calculus either - love math - have never had any problem acing all math classes I have taken - BUT - it's been a long time! So now I have to do a little investigation into what is normally offered in the summer. My last day at work is April 20 and I really want to be in school by summer. A lot of others are wanting to take the summer off and start in the fall but for me - If I'm going to do it, I want to do it ASAP. No laying around all summer in the pool and then not wanting to start in the fall.

On the other hand - they signed me up to take 24 tests in three days. Not worried about any of the clerical ones - I did their little "practice test" when I got home and scored 30 wpm more than the requirements with 99% accuracy so I should be able to slow myself down a little and get that one perfect!

Another note - my son is home for a week! It's been really nice having him here but I'm TIRED! It's amazing how fast you fall back into "Mom" mode and can't fall asleep until everybody is home for the night. He brought his new wife, her brother, and her cousin. I think they're a little in awe at the country life since they are all from the city (San Antonio). Hud and Camii are heading to England in May for 3 years. I can't imagine anything better than being in your twenties, being a newlywed, and being in England! They got married in January so that she can go with him but they are having an actual ceremony on April 9th so I'm headed to Texas two weeks before I'm done at work! Looking forward to it!
