Suddenly Routine

Good thing I’m not doing any of those daily posting challenges. I’d be failing miserably, even by my already low standards. Are you wondering where I’ve been? (probably not, but I need a way to start this post, so please bear with me…)

If you follow me on twitter (@krisobi), you know that I’ve been taking a summer class in Biology over at the local community college. The class is six weeks long and meets four days a week from 8-12. It’s a long one. But I don’t mind, I’m really enjoying it and happy with my decision to dip my toes back into the school thing.

So I decided to jump cannon ball-style back into the academic life and enrolled to get another bachelor’s degree over at my local SUNY school. The same one I got my first BS from. Initially, I thought it would only take me a year, year and a half to get the second BS, but since my first degree was in art, we’ll just say I was a little light on the science and math courses. Now it looks like I’ll be spending at least the next two years taking pretty much all biology/chemistry classes. With maybe a math class or two thrown in for fun. Then after I kick ass in those classes, there is a year of internship. So, three years. I will totally be over 40 when I finish. That thought freaks me out, but I think it would be worse to be over 40 and think, man, I really should have done that when I was 37. Right now I’m sort of thinking, man, I should have done this five years ago.

Last Friday, I registered and got 15 credits of classes. All set to go for the fall semester. I’m so excited. Even though my schedule sort of sucks and I pretty much had to take whatever classes were left, I can’t wait to start.

There’s the update. I’m going back to school and turning my families’ lives upside down.
