Doing It

So in some ways I'm about to make the biggest financial risk of my life.
I'm going back to school.

I have to go to the community college tomorrow and get admitted for this semester. Open registration is Thrusday. I'm going to try and take A&P 1 and Statistics online and then only have to go in for the A&P 1 lab. And I hope to schedule that on a day before John goes to work. That way we can get out of having a sitter this semester. I hope to do the same thing next semester.


Then the actual masters/nursing program starts in July. It's 4 semesters (20 week semesters) and I'll be done. Should graduate in May/June of 2011.

I'm excited and very nervous. I promised John and the babies that I would do my absolute best and not give up. I know it's going to be hard, but I also know it'll be worth it. I'm planning on getting the kids in day care next summer when the program starts. Most of the classes will be online, but I'll have tons of hours to do in clinicals, so I think it'll be best to have them in something. I'm looking for at least a 'Mommy's Day Out' program, but will probably need more than just that. (Clinicals will mostly be Mon-Friday.)

I'm really excited about this. I feel better about myself. Much better than I have in a very long time. Babies are not napping. Must go tend to the screaming demons...
