Academic challenges

Gosh, I had no idea that going back to school would be so time consuming, I feel myself pulled in so many different ways to accomplish my goals. The fact that there is no time to reflect on between terms is what is the most challenge.
I am not a young girl, but hitting the back door of 60. I thought okay here I am going into my retirement years, what should I do I ask myself.....why don't you get your college degree....I said. This is your ultimate dream, go for it make yourself proud. Geeesh!!

Now I feel tired and frustrated with it all. I need a jump start or something before I pass out!!

  1. Gilda: I know your frustration. I started this journey with "gee Marie you are just sitting around watching TV online college would be something to do that will better yourself!" Not all brilliant ideas turn out the be what we thought but I am getting used to the process (overwhelming as it is sometimes)at the ripe "old" age of 63. I think you will like the quote I am posting for you:

    Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
