School Dazed

January 15, 2009 by karenf773

Well, for what feels like the gazillonth time, I’ve decided to pick back up collecting college credit towards the degree I’ll finally have when I’m sixty. (Side note, just a few years ago, that probably would have been Forty, but hey, as we age, so do our perceptions of time!)

Partially because of the crappy economy, and partially because I realized that I already have a whooping 68 credits toward an average needed of 120, I headed over to my local college, Eastern Shore Community College and snagged three classes very last minute. I’m taking Organizational Behavior, thanks to my coworker D. (who pointed out that even if useless for my future degree, it will be helpful for my current–and hopefully temporary–profession), Religions of the World, which is looking like its going to be an invigoratingly interesting class (and given the current holy wars, globalization, etc., it can’t hurt to broaden my mind here either) and last but not least i am taking Literature of the World II. I really need American Lit II, but that was only available during the day, and alas, poor me has to work. But since I’m leaning towards a degree in English this time (my credits list is heavy on the Psych and Biology right now. Oops!) I figured I can still take American II next time.

Anyway, my grouchy ass husband wants me to quit typing so I’ll finish this tomorrow.

Post-script: I just put up a blog regarding this over at Ecclectic Gurl
