Guess who got accepted in college?

Yep, I’m gonna get me some education! 😃

(Just wanted to share my good news since y’all helped with my essay…)

Sweet! Do you start this fall?!? Close to home, far away? Business, liberal arts, engineering, science, architecture, art? Information, dammit, we need information!

I’m 36 so it’s “continuing education” (loosely translated Missy is getting a life). Fall. Liberal Arts. Distance Learning. Accelerated Program.

And you think YOU need information? I have trouble helping my 12 year old with HIS homework… 😉

Congrats, **Missy**!

I’m going back this fall after two years of not cracking a school book of any kind. I’m sure you’ll do just fine!

Congrats! I’m impressed. I toyed with going back to school for a MS in Math, but I’m not motivated at all. Wonder if I can get credits for hanging out here? I know it makes me smarter…
