Something to Learn

I recently heard that college credits expire after 10 years.
Considering it has almost been 10 years since I graduated High School and began my never-ending-wannabe-college career...the clock is now ticking away at my first couple semesters.

So....
I checked out the website for Northwest Arkansas Community College. today, and if all transfers well...(and let's hope they will), I should be able to take one night class or online class at a time and get my Associate's Degree rather quickly.

When I'm done with that, I'll probably wait until we feel it's the right season for me to get a Bachelor's Degree. I know an A.A. isn't worth much in the world...but at least it's a slip of paper that says my work can't expire. While my children are young, I'd really rather just focus on them, my home, my husband, and my little preschool.

But time is suddenly my enemy. I just can't let myself pass up an opportunity to keep 78 credit hours (that's how many are transferable anyway) that I've already earned, from swirling down the drain like bits of sand expiring in an hourglass.

I just submitted my application.
I'm going to be a student again.
Yikes.
I have mixed feelings.
