I’m normally not a procrastinator, if any thing, I’m the type of person that tries to get things done ahead of time if I can!  But I dreaded going out to school to get the mess that I created last semester straightened out so that I could go back to classes this semester.

Flash back, if you will, to October, if you need to, go into my archives….LOL!  I had been sick since the last week of September when we “discovered” what had been making me sick.  There was black mold in the ceiling in our bedroom, one of the walls and also in the crawl space of the house we were living in.  When we confronted the land lord about the problem, his response was “I don’t have the money to put into something like that right now, you’ll have to fix it on your own”, or something like that.  We had no choice, for our health we HAD to move and we had to do it quickly!  I had missed almost 3 weeks of school by then and with the prospect of having to clean this house, pack the other house, move everything here and unpack, and still being very sick, I knew that there wasn’t much of a chance of me being able to make my classes for at least another two weeks.  What I should have done when I came to that realization was go to campus and file a withdrawl for the semester, but I didn’t, I was embarrassed.  The result was even more embarrassing, I failed all of my classes and was put on academic and financial aid probation.

So, that’s why I dreaded going out to campus to fix the mess I was in.  I just knew that I would either be yelled at or told that I had messed up so badly that it wouldn’t be possible for me to go back to school this semester.  I couldn’t have been further from the truth!  Not only did I not completely mess things up, I was also treated SOOOOOOOOOO awesomely!  The only “down side” was that since classes start tomorrow, the lines for EVERYTHING I had to do today were VERY long!  I spent more time standing in line than I did actually talking to people to fix things…..LOL!

So, everything is fixed. I have my first class tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM and I even managed to successfully change my major!  I have an awesome schedule this semester that actually only takes me out to campus 2 days and one evening.  I take one of my classes locally at my son’s high school and I opted to take one of my classes as an online e-course.  I have a total of 5 classes for a total of 14 credit hours.

HOORAY!  I’m in college again!
