Going back to college in your earlier 30's gives you an entire different outlook. I mean it's like I know a secret the others don't know; it's very interesting. It seems I'm no longer afraid to participate in class as I've now spoken up in both classes; this is something I would have never done before. Something that hasn't changed is I do get the nervous feeling in my belly when they talk about test or quizes....oooohhh I don't like those.
Other than class there's not much going on here. We'll have our first football game this Sat so I'll go to the Coach's talk show on Thursday night, at the University Club, with friends then hang out on campus with friends prior to game time Saturday. Oh, I get student tickets which I still pay for but at a lower rate. :) I love football!!!!
Talked with the X today for a little while and that went well. He's proud of me for going back to school and thinks it'll be a good focus point. It's good that we have past the shock point of our separation/break-up and can have a normal conversation without tears. It's nice to be able to share thoughts on day to day activity in his or my life and laugh with him.
So that's all for today in my small Mississippi college town.

you're right about going back to college in your 30's. i took a couple classes at UT, and i was all about raising my hand and participating. i enjoyed it a lot. i remember when i was in college (the first time) that there were a couple of older (30 something) women in there, and i just thought they thought they were the shit bc they were always answering questions and agreeing with the professor. i guess that's what i looked like at UT :)
glad you're gonna get in some football! sounds fun. i want photo evidence that you're enjoying yourself. :)
I remember those older women too! I was always a little envious of their confidence. You go, Schoolgirl!
Hey! You're a schoolgirl! You could legitimately be a "naughty schoolgirl" if you wanted to.
Yep, you are right. I think I'm turning into a professional student--with time off for moving and having kids. Each time I go back I notice how much more secure I am. It's one of the few times that I really appreciate not being in my early 20s anymore.
