    I am proud of myself for forcing myself to go back to college! I have a lot of credits, just have never finished because of life getting in the way. I've been going through the hassle of getting accepted, getting things transferred, working on aid papers, and I've FINALLY picked the classes I'll be taking in the fall!  
    I'm taking chemistry, yuck.  However this will be a refresher course to allow me to get into the occupational therapy assistant program next year (I missed the deadline for this year) 
    The ones I am excited for are Psych 2 online and abnormal psych! 
    I'm also taking Latin American Literature, which I am not sure whether it will be awesome, or terrible!

    So by next year hopefully I will have my Associates in Arts and Science and be accepted into the Occupational Therapy Assistant program! 
    I hope my financial aid goes through correctly; I'm going to be a nervous wreck until it does!
    Keep me in your thoughts, ladies and gents! I'm friggin excited and nervous!

    Think of your problems as challenges to overcome not obstacles to be avoided.

    Awesome!  You'll love it, I promise!  I always find all the planning exciting too. Well, financial aid not so much...I'm actually waiting to hear on that myself right now, for this summer though.  Kinda starting to get antsy lol!  Anyway, I will cross all my appendages for you, and enjoy this exciting time!   %%-

    @PhDMommy I will hold you to that! Science is my worst subject! My brain just refuses to absorb any science textbook... Its the weirdest thing.
