I almost cried and I am not easily moved to tears. This concludes unfinished business from over twenty years ago. I have a college education!

(30,252 posts)I'm going back to college starting today - have a Statistics class on Mondays and Wednesdays. It'll satisfy my math requirements, and then the rest of the courses are up to me. I've waited far too long for this!

What is your major?

(1,168 posts)semester part time community college. I have a B.S. degree from the 80s. Just doing this to exercise the mind. All of my classes to date have been in math and science. Evening classes.
Anyway, I'm taking stats also. Our first class was last night. This class will be a cake walk compared to calc and Ochem. I'm running out of classes to take. Taking Microbiology also. I've had this in the past.
Good luck derby378, enjoy this trip! May I ask what is your academic goal?

(12,799 posts)I worried that you had taken on too much too soon, with the new wife and the job and the school. You've done it, and you've done it well. Congratulations!
Give Jen a special hug from me, because I can't think it's been easy for either of you.
