Going back to School...


Last week I was talking to my mom about going back to school. I have wanted to since having kids and well, any mother knows that is just not going to happen with small rugrats toddling around! (and kudo's to those single mothers out there that did it) Now that both my girls are in school , Gabby in 1st grade and Lydia in Pre-School , I think it is now time!
So I gathered myself up and took myself on over to the Dixie State College , granted i had NO idea where I was going or what I was supposed to be doing, Burst into the first building I came to , and said, "I would like to go to college! Where do I sign up?!" There was an awkward pause from those students loitering around the building and some eye rolling from the ladies behind the desk, but dang it I was Happy and nothing was going to burst my bubble... until they told me I had to retake the Math Placement Test... That is when my little bubble popped. *sigh* I shiver just thinking of me walking into the testing center, looking scared and all alone, staring at the young peppy college girl behind the desk and with Puss-n-boots eyes that were glassy from the unshed tears telling her that I had to take the math test. She showed me into the Locked dungeon type room full of nervous sweating students and some ancient computers , which she logged me into, and said good luck. And there is began, Algebra... I had NO IDEA what I was doing! Sooo.... I started playing the "guess this answer" game. I figured no math should have letters in the equation thus getting rid of them all and guessing the answer with just numbers was the correct thing to do... I was wrong... *face palm* What did I get myself into?! I am now stuck in the lowest math class you can possibly take in College. I think Gabby is doing this same math. Guess I'll be asking my 6 year old for help.
Wish me luck starting January I will be a Full Time student of Dixie State College , Full Time Mother to Gabby and Lydia AND a Full Time 911 Dispatcher...

Dont worry, I will be right there with you. I started at the entry class to relearn and brush up, made it through with a passing "C" and then didnt enroll quick enough again so now I have to take that same one AGAIN!!!! Arg. I HATE math.
