Am I manic, or just out of my ever-lovin' mind?

It's the question of the day today.

I have big news.

No, really. It's big.

I just applied for college.

I'm doing it. I'm going back to school. I applied to SLCC and I am awaiting my acceptance letter, at which time I can start planning my college future. I am so scared; words cannot even express how scared I am. I decided to start by taking a computer class and an English class and see where it goes from there. My ultimate goal is a bachelors in computer science, but that is only going to happen if I can remember how to do math. I used to be pretty good at it in high school, so I'm really hoping it's like riding a bike, but I have this sneaky suspicion that it is going to be much, much harder than that. The good news is that I did a practice placement exam for English and I aced it the first time without even studying. Which makes me think I am going into the wrong field, but I just can't think of anything to do that involves English that really appeals to me as far as careers go. Maybe editing. I don't know. But computers are interesting. And I'm good at it. I'm just not so sure that I will be good at computer school. Do you see my conflict? So I will take both classes and then hopefully have a better handle on what the heck I want to do with the rest of my life.

Please pray for me and my rusty, old brain.

    1. Thanks for the vote of confidence, sis! I am terrified of the math and I have a feeling I will be hiring a tutor to get me through it. I will most likely have to start at the very bottom of the math barrel, but I guess I need to start somewhere, right?

  2. Just because you make goals (and do something to achieve them) does not mean you're manic or out of your mind. By the way!!! :) I love you and I'm so proud of you!!!!
