Hi Ho Hi Ho its back to school I go

So realizing that it has been almost a year since I updated my blog, I decided I should either update it or eliminate it. I could not bring myself to do the latter so here I am.

I am playing a new game right now. Its called the "I think I need a bachelors degree" game I've been thinking about going back to school for a couple of years now (well, really since I started working at the U) Life just kept getting in the way. An opportunity opened up late spring and I decided I should grab it. I really want to be done before my oldest graduates from High School.

If I had really been on top of it and blogged while I was going through the process you would have been able to read all about my adventures as I started summer semester. Since I was not allow me to summarize.

A: Text books are still a rip off.
B: College kids think they are really smart... they are not... and they think they know all about the real world.... they don't
C: Discussions are far more interesting when you are the same age or older than your professor
D: I care about grades more than I did when I was in school before. This is a real irony because as my brother pointed out I could be on the C's get degrees track since it is unlikley that anyone is going to be looking at my transcripsts.
E: I really need to learn to speed read

I finished summer semester with a 3.8 and I am pretty proud of that, my GPA was never that high in my past. My kids are enjoying turning the tables and asking me if my home work is done and if I am really doing the best that I can. When I got 2 A-'s on my report card Ashley said "dad Im not going to beat you up for an A- but was that really the best you could do?"

I am finishing the 2nd week of fall semester now and I'll try to post more frequently from now on.
