As I mentioned in that oh so swanky "about me" box I'm a full time college student. I am getting my Bachelors in Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. They offer this tremendous program called the Learning Community Bachelors Low Residency Program. Basically twice a year you hole up for a week at a hotel with 20-30 other adult learners. During this week you meet faculty, plan studies (not packets people, studies)and learn more about yourself and your learning style that you probably ever wanted to know. People take anywhere between 6-18 credits that are due during the six months in between residencies. I just passed in a paper that was due yesterday, it was a three credit elective course and I did it on Chairman Mao and the Cultural Revolution in China. You see that's the best thing, you get to pick what you want to learn! It's a hard program, you have to be self disciplined and humble enough to reach out to friends, other students and faculty when you are in trouble. I probably have it the easiest. I'm single, live alone and have no kids. There are plenty of people who have husbands, kids, pets...you name it. My biggest time issue is my job..but thats for another time. Anyway, I've met some incredible people and made some fabulous friends that I know I will keep for the rest of my life. That in itself is a strange thing. Making new friends at 39. These friends have added a whole new dimension to my life and I am forever grateful for that.
This whole blogging thing is just a bit bizarre. You can follow the lives of people that you don't even know. Check out this blog that I found completely by accident. I am able to follow this man's life as he re-enlists in the Marines just so he can go back to Iraq. Through his site I can follow his sister's journey while adopting a child. It's all so surreal...but I have to admit I like it.
