I went back at 31, and it was the best decision I have ever made. I realized that the shelf life was coming to an end, so I walked away from a great job to finish. It was something I had always wanted to accomplish for myself. 6 full semesters later and I will be a college graduate come May at age 34.
The first semester was a bit of a learning curve, and has been the only one I haven't made the dean's list (3.5 and up). I've had it on autopilot for the most part. Go to class, take notes, make friends, review for test and make A's. It's not very difficult. You just have to have the discipline to not procrastinate when you have free time. I have not made a 4.0 b/c I have a tendency to blow off one of the first exams in one of my classes each semester. That will not be the case this, my last, semester. The time has flown by.
And the wool on campus? Oh my!!
It's good to be single.
I may just give the economy time to heal and stay in school. Grad school or Law school sounds nice right now.
