Good Thursday to Everyone!

Looks like one of those "don't put your tongue on metal poles" type of days. Brrrrr...

Yesterday's appointment at the college was both good and horribly overwhelming. The coordinator and I established a wonderful rapport and it would seem that she really wants me in the program, however, I'm missing a ton of general education and core courses which they consider requirements. I'm coming in with more credit hours than required, but many of them aren't the courses they would have preferred. So if I go forward instead of wallowing in self-pity, I will have to SOMEHOW take 13 other courses while studying full time and student teaching in the B.S. program. So I have to accept the fact that 3 full semesters of past work was a waste of my time and your taxpayer dollars. (GI Bill, Pell Grants, etc.) She told me to write two emails: one begging the dean to allow a worthless, ignorant fuck like me into the program and convince him that I'll magically be able to go full time to a local community college to meet the prerequisites that I currently lack while going full time to work on their B.S., and a second email explaining that a previous institution granted me 16 credit hours of foreign language study and how that is MORE THAN the 6 credit hours which they require.

So, I can either attempt to do both at the same time (note the lack of confidence) or delay the B.S. program a full year so that I can take more, mostly pointless, first and second year courses while attempting to forget that I'm a 38 year-old man who has wasted too many years of his life already and really just wants to get on with it.

Self-pity, here I come.

Thank you for reading my blog. If anyone has any other excellent career options for me, go ahead and shoot them my way, and don't be afraid to rub in what a monstrous failure I am.

CLEP

Morning!

Sorry UW about the classes.

Brrrrrrrrrrr very cold last night but the air conditioner guy made here about 6pm last night so we had heat finally!

My husband who runs the food service department at a nursing home is having a mens night out. He is taking the old men to the Wing House and they are very excited.

It's something he wants to do monthly so we have to come up with some fun places for them to go eat.

Have a nice day all

First person homoerotic self masturbation paysites do real well in the gay community from what I hear.

No really, good suggestion from Cleo, you might find you already "know" enough from real life to take care of some of the basic requirements...also as BlueBrit suggested if you do have to complete it all (the pre-requisites as well as the B.S courses), take the year to do the pre reqs first...you will probably really appreciate those courses as they get you prepped for going back to school. Coming out of high school you usually are in a class room/study frame of mind (unless you slacked for your last 2 yrs of high school cause a 3.3 avg was so easy with no work as it was with me)...but going back to that routine can be hard to adjust to after a few yrs away.
Get back in the groove with the featherweight stuff for a yr so you are primed for the real stuff a yr later

UW, my son is 27 and finally back in college. At his age the 18, 19 and 20 year old girls are like shooting fish in a barrell. (not that you would go after youngins) but it would be nice for a 20 yr. old to ask for your number and you have to decline giving it because you're married. Hmmm.....do I see a 3-some?

I applaud you for wanting to teach. Teachers aren't paid enough or appreciated for what they do/put up with.
