my youth?!? No! A student!

Can you believe it?!? The local community college has agreed to take me on, starting next month. Which makes me seriously doubt their sanity, not to mention their intelligence!

It has only been... ahem... 27 years since I went to school. I had to brush the cobwebs and dust off of my transcript. I couldn't even remember some of the classes I took. Made for pretty interesting reading!

{Edit: Stud Muffin wanted me to pop back in and clarify that I do have a college degree, just a dusty one! He's very proud of me! He doesn't have an undergraduate degree, but he got a Master's without it! I'm so proud of him! What a Stud Muffin!}

Thanks for all the congrats, gals!

Yes, Marmy, i will probably carry a satchel, but there never as cool as you Brits have! Stud muffin is holding out for the plaid mini skirt and knee high socks! He's going to be waiting a very long time!

If I get into the program, I will get to wear those comfy and oh so fashionable scrubs!

Congrats, Lisa!! That's awesome. Any any job where you can wear scrubs is a keeper in my book. When do you start school?
