I can't remember if I have shared about going back to college yet. I am still trying to update and save little stories to post. I am trying to just survive life right now.
So, I decided to go back to college. I know, you can say it. Brilliant idea, Cathy. I just say to myself, if not now, when. Is there ever going to be a good time to push yourself to the limits! I laugh at limits these days.
I am taking a nutrition class toward getting into a nursing program to become a registered nurse. I hope to be a part of taking care of moms and babies since my heart is always with babies.
Anyway, I had my first test a couple of weeks ago and I was very nervous. I always get nervous with tests. I studied but didn't study as much as I wanted to. I knew there were things I was confused about and only hoped I would be able to figure it out with the multiple choice answers.
There was even extra credit worth 10 points.
So. I. Got. An. 87.5. I was extremely bummed. I was extremely bummed that a few of the answers I actually knew and just marked the wrong answer on the scantron (remember those??). So, the nice young teenage boy next to me says...
"It's almost an A".
To which I replied the only nice and logical thing I could think of at the moment.
"Shut up, Mister one hundred and two!" I know very mature of me wasn't it?
I have since come to terms with it and decided to listen to my mother's advice and give myself a break, it is only the first test and I haven't actually taken a test in like 17 some odd years, so now there is room for improvement.
Okay, now I have to get back to studying for my next test!
Oh yeah, and finish planning Laura's birthday party for this Saturday now that I checked the weather report and it has changed the forecast to rain. Time to cancel the bounce house and figure out some inside games. Yippee! I love having 30 or 40 people inside my house at one time.

I went back to school part time at night and worked full time during the day. Now that I have kids, I have an idea of the kind of juggle it would be for a mom, and I really respect you for what you're doing. Believe in yourself and just do your best. I'm really proud of you for your 87.5. In an attempt to make you feel better, I'll tell you something that very few people know: I failed my fist marketing exam in my very last semester of school. FAILED. Like a low fail. Like in the 20s. It was bad.
Oh Cathy...I am so proud of you for taking this step. I now it's going to be hard during some moments, but looking back you will have no regrets. You are right...is there ever a right time??? Not really...it will always be something else that we make a priority instead of ourselves. So, with this I say...keep up the great work. 87.5 wasn't 67.5. And that Mr. Hundred and Two story had me rolling...that is too funny!
O my. what a surprise. i am so proud of you. it is a huge step considering you have three young kids! you may be borderline crazy.
