The School Girl Returns!

Well, I never thought that at the age of 38 I would be a school girl again!! Never say never is all I have to say about that!

In the spring of 2006 I saw a commercial on TV about completing an online college course, getting a diploma and starting a new career path ..... and Lord knows, I need a new career path! So, I quickly dialed the number and signed up to receive the information package. About a week later, SURPRISE! There it was!!! College info ..... in MY mailbox ..... in MY name!! Wow!

After a full year of ups and downs in my personal life, I refocused again on this crazy idea of the distance education package that had been sent to me ..... and since the very friendly and patient admissions people were STILL calling me after a full year of me saying, "My life is too crazy yet to start something like this!" I thought .... y'know, if I don't MAKE my life calm down .... it NEVER will. So I did!

I am NOW officially a college student! I'm taking a Graphic Design and Web Page Development course through MacTech Distance Education (www.homeed.com). I am into my 3rd book of study and managed to pull off two very good marks on my exams (high 90's) ...... so I'm pretty excited about that!

Anyhow .... I'm learning about blogs now, so I figured ..... "what the heck! Let's start a blog!" And here we are ...... so ...... tune in next time to find out what happens next.

Until next time ..... keep your feet on the ground, and your head high in the air ..... and never, ever lose sight of where you've been .... or where you're going!!

Peace out!

Jules
