I am afraid to admit that it has been 15 years since I graduated from college. At that time, my path of graduate school was redirected. I wouldn't change anything about getting married or becoming a Mom. Now that Emily is in Kindergarten, I actually have a little spare time. Well, my brother Jeff talked me into taking the GMAT in October. With a day to spare, I applied for the MBA program. And in January, I began with my first of 12 classes. I am currently in an accounting class which is a very humbling experience. I realized quickly that the last time I had accounting was my freshman year---yikes! Each class is only 8 weeks and meets only one night a week. Really not that intense, but perfect for me. I can get in 2 classes a semester which means it will be December 2012 before I ever graduate. I guess that will come fast and considering I have no career goals it really doesn't matter how long it takes. For now, I sit with classes full of bald men and a handful of young ones and we learn to master business. I've dusted off my financial calculator and have tried to hone my Excel skills in hopes I make it through this first class. Let the Adventure Begin!

What am I Thinking?

Way to go. I couldn't never be that amibitious at this age. Writing papers and working problems for a grade leaves me weak in the knees. Good luck college girl. Gregg will be so impressed.
Good for you. You act like this is going to be hard for you. You'll breeze through it just like you did last time!
Good thing you are such a smarty!!! It will be a breeze for you.
Congrats!! I can take Emily whenever you need study time, the girls would love to play with her. Unfortunately, that is all I can help you with. I wish I could return the tutoring favor (I don't think that you need it anyway). Call me anytime!!
You are going to leave those college boys and old men in the dust! I am glad it is going well so far. Just thinking about doing math again makes me nervous. Better you than me :)
