I started this blog suddenly, when my husband suddenly wanted to go to school. And I mean suddenly. Sure, he had talked about it and said "I want to go to school" but he had been doing that for years. Then one day he said "I really want to go to school next semester and just take a class" Well next semester was in like two weeks, literally. So we signed him up and started to look for classes he might be able to take. He couldn't sign up for English or Math because he'd have to take a placement test and it was too close to the beginning of the semester for that. We got lucky, really lucky actually, and found an open Psych class.
Wonderful, first time at school in 20yrs and he's taking Psych. And he did really well! Started studying hard, even had to write a paper, and got a B in the class. Not bad for getting in the groove. Game on!
Now here we are and he has now finished all his Math and will conquer his last English class next semester. He'll be finished with his science prereqs in December and will only have GE classes to complete while waiting to be called into the nursing program.
Oh and that placement test...did I mention it had been 20yrs? It was like starting all over again. PreAlgebra and beginning English. He has since finished all three Math classes but will need one more later, if he chooses to get his BSN, which he has already decided he will. He has taken 1 of 2 English classes he needs. Oh and that lucky Psych class, it's required for the nursing program so a class that he took just to start going back to school was not wasted. Phew.
He's come a long way.
