Well wife and I took the plunge yesterday and enrolled in college....We had been looking at it for a while and the time just seems right.....We are taking courses for our business degree through a local college, two year deal....Actually looking forward to starting classes and brushing up on some of the stuff from accounting and so on.
Should be interesting since it has been a very long time since I was in school :eek:
Learning is like rowing upstream:
not to advance is to drop back.

Congratulations ComputerScrapper. Regardless if it is a community college, or a big time university, furthering your education is always good!Quote:

Wife and I watched Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts a couple of weeks ago. Not his best but worth a buck at Redbox...might get you in the swing of things.

Yeah, wife and I will be the most popular Freshmen in the class....We are old enough to buy the beer! LOL
If you ever need a math question answered, feel free to message me.
Good Lord prepare to have your message box blown up lol....Math was always my weakest point in school....Not so much the standard stuff but the higher levels really messed with my gray matter.Quote:

OO boy...have fun with that...I have thought about going to collage as well..but I am spending so much time with my company I dont have time...once things start to slow down (Would things ever slow down???) I think I would go as well.
We decided to go with the evening online only classes to help.....The reason why we chose this college is because they are very flexible with the class schedules, making it much easier on those that are continuing to work while trying to go to school at the same time. I told everyone I know to not bother trying to reach me after 6 each evening because my old brain is going to be concentrating and any distraction could derail my thought process for a week lol
That will never work....you have to do the army plan honey moon.....turn off all phones, lock all doors, plug all tvs and radios, shut the windows and cover them up....even then....good luck lmao.
great idea and good luck. I applaud your efforts!

Knowledge is POWER!!

If you do that you may not get alot of work done if a female comes over...and or you and your wife may end up busy doing other things than reading them books lmao.Quote:
