After 10+ years!

I have finally went back to school! Yep! I'm taking business systems technology classes at the Tn Technology Center. I'm hoping to work in a medical office, maybe an oncology office. So far I really like it. Our main subjects are keyboarding, math, and english/grammer. Now, most of the the women in the class are dreading the math part, but I actually enjoy math, so that's not what I'm concerned with. Keyboarding is gonna be my biggest challenge. Why? Well, I didn't take it in high school, which I have regretted so many times, so, therefore I never learned to type the "correct" way. I am a self-taught typer, and don't use the correct fingers on the correct keys, but I don't chicken peck either! So breaking my old habits and starting over is a big hurdle!! But I will do it! As a matter of fact, writing here is a great practice! I surprised myself one evening when I was working in my math book and I actually didn't want to quit!! Getting up early is another thing, ugh! I have never been a morning person, but I am having to be one now! My classes are from 7:30-2:10 and I have to get ready in time to get the kids dressed and to my mother-in-law. Now I know that there are women that have done this for years and are very good at it, but when you're not use to it, well, you are just not use to it! Anyway, back to the class, it is "learn at your own pace", so our instructor pretty much handed us our books and a syllabus, and said have at it, and she goes to her office. Granted, she will help us at any time me need it, but we are on out own. This is foreign to me, I like structure! I am proud to say, however, that I am ahead of schedule! I plan on taking my first math test Monday! I'm also taking the opportunity to shed a few pounds. See, where the school is, there is nothing close to get for lunch, so I have to take something. There is a fridge in the room that we can use, so I have been taking bottled water to have during the day. So I figure, since I can't just sit and eat whenever I want, and WHATever I want, I would eat what I have available, so if I only take good things with me then that is all I have! We'll see if I can keep it up! Oh, want to see the pic of me on my first day of school?? Too bad, you're gonna see it anyway!
