YIKES! In Oct. I decided it was time to go back to school. I’ve chosen Walden University which has online programs. My Master’s will be in Mental Health Counseling.
I figured Oct. was a good time to apply. Get the application process over with, enjoy the holidays, and start school in Jan. That would seem normal, right? RIGHT?
So I got accepted and class started on Dec. 4th. Yeah, before the holidays. –heavy sigh. So as if I wasn’t busy before with home improvements and holiday preparations, I’m a full fledged student now! I’m finding it’s a lot like last time I was a college student…I’m not getting much sleep these days.
Next comes figuring out how to pay for it. So why do graduate programs cost so darn much? I think they figure you’ll be making more money with your degree so they’ll charge you more to get the degree.
Now if only I didn’t have to wait my turn to use the computer to do homework. (hehehe) Santa might be bringing me something small and white with an apple on the back of it!
Good Luck
Congrats on going back to school. It can be a stressful experience. I just finsihed signing up for the first of my last 3 quarters for my new BS degree. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
Best of luck with school and with Santa !
woohoo!
Congratulations! Isn’t Walden where everyone in Doonesbury went? 😉

Congrats!
Congrats on going to get a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling. You’re going to be great at it! I won’t write ‘congrats on going back to school’ because it reads like you failed or need remedial, right?
I agree that advanced degrees are way expensive, although not having education is superior in social cost.
Keep us posted on progress!
True dat
True dat. While my lack of even a Bachelor’s degree does not hinder me greatly operating within my team in my career field, when I have to meet with outsiders or find a new job, it’s a definite and pronounced handicap. If I had it to do all over again… eh, who the heck am I kidding, I would have still dropped out and regretted it 🙂 I hated college.

Education
Way to go Christy!!! Gordon B. Hinckley has ephasized education for women. Learning is so much fun. I can see why you don’t get much sleep these days between school, church and family. If I had it to do all over, I would do the same. Mental Health Conseling is a terrific goal that you will excell at.
Who?
Pre Wikipedia thought: Who wants what for who and what? Post Wikipedia thought: Oh.. well.. umm.. did you know Joss Whedon directed last night’s “Office”?

Take A Bite
C’mon, after reading the Wikipedia bio of Mr. Hinckley, you have no comments except something about Joss Whedon?
I know he’s a Mormon, which is a sensitive topic on this board, but damn, he’s got a pretty good resume. I hope I’m as kicking when I’m in my 90s as he is. Plus, he’s been a good businessman for the church, expanding temples and doing lots of humanitarian work. Regardless of any views on his religion, one has to admit he’s a hard-working man who’s accomplished a lot in his life.
And he was married for 67 years. I admire any man who can say that.

Respect, yes..
I DO respect the man. I am wary of the influence. I don’t want to step on toes.
