I finally made my decision about the Honors Program and, with input from my husband, friends, and my educated family, I have asked for an application. I haven't heard anything yet and have no idea about their timeline. My natural anxiety has kicked in a little and I'm concerned that I won't be accepted. I have developed the attitude that my future plans don't include a 4 year college, it doesn't make a lot of difference. (Except to my ego.) My son and daughter keep telling me all the ways I could use my degree and the benefits of having the Honors Program on my resume. I keep telling them I'm not sure I want to do anything with my degree and Web Master certificate. I'm retired, after all. I will admit that I enjoy creating and developing websites and working with photography, all of which would keep me from getting bored and be a break from reading books. I also know that keeping my mind active and learning is very, very good for me in so many, many ways - especially keeping me feeling younger most days.
I've already started reading the textbook for this semester's class. It even makes sense from based on my previous programming classes. It just uses different terminology which, hopefully, won't be hard to learn. My first class will be on Wednesday and I'll have a better feel for it then.
I just reread all your posts. It's nice to look back and see the distance you have "traveled" in college.
ReplyDeleteSo, what is the title of your new course, and what will you be learning?
