Abc's & 123's here I come!!

After years of contemplation, I have run out of excuses, and am finally going back to school. I am officially a student at Dixie State College. The fun starts at the end of August. All my classes will be on-line to begin with and then I'll be commuting in the next year or so. I plan to graduate in 3-4 years in Elementary Education. I am super excited! I'm looking forward "using" my brain again. I chose Elementary Ed. because Kevin and I both agree it would ideal for our family. This way we can both be on the same schedule as the kids and then have the whole summer off to party!! Yesterday I took my first test to gage which English class I should be in and was pleasantly surprised that I Aced it! Maybe this college stuff won't be too tough after all!! Yeah right! I'm scared to death! Wish me luck!

Good Luck!!! It will so easy for you. I would love to go back to school, but seeing as I can barely find time to shower, probably not. Just an excuse, I know. Love ya. You will be such a good teacher.
