only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Education At This Age?

Every year around this time, when I’m stuck in the house because of the awful weather, I toy with the idea of taking some college classes online. I know that the local colleges all have online classes; you just have to meet in person 4 times, usually. That would work so well for me.
I spend a lot of time online anyway and I love to learn so this might be a good fit. I’m not sure how it compares to regular classes Tuition Wise but I’m guessing it’s the same cost, minus transportation expenses.
At some point, I am going back to college. I don’t know when I’ll do that but I am going to do it. The question is, will this be the year I finally do it? Or maybe I’ll wait till I hit the big 5-0.

My online courses are $700 each plus books. The university I attend is the 6th largest provider of online degrees to U.S. government employees – they have degrees that don’t require you to step into a single classroom.
I haven’t checked prices recently but I think our community college is less expensive than that. Nick’s friend is taking some online courses and needs to go to class 3 times or so, I think.
The first thing I want to do, though, is see about testing out of some classes like you did. That’s a real time saver!
Of course, you could always enroll in classes I’m teaching…
