Good luck! I went back to get my masters at 48, after being out of college for 27 years. It was a whole different world with modern technology. I was forced to get savvy with my computer and all it can do. Glad I did it. Remember to enjoy the journey.

I have learned so much from you all and as much as I know that school will take a lot of my time in addition to working full time, I will always make time for my online family. You are a great group. I admire each and everyone of you for your talent. Thanks for sharing.

I went back after 'only' 15 years out. Amazed myself by making much better grades than the first go round. Did have to drop my 8 o'clock class though as getting hubby to work, 3 boys to the elementary school, the other 2 to the base preschool and then drive all the way across town and try to find a last minute parking place just didn't work very well! The last 9 hours I only took one class per session as by then I also had my baby DD and a job plus DH was overseas.
You can do it and do it well!

I would like to say YO GO GIRL! Furthering your education should always be a high priority . I am in Central FL also in Polk Co. Very close to Florida Southern College and Southeastern college is right down the street from my house.

Good for you! When I got my masters, I was working full time and found gradually that I was getting more and more tense. School/work, work/school, read, read, read text books and work proposals and reports, etc. Finally, I started getting up 15 minutes earlier (then a half hour) to do some "me" reading. What a difference! If you can do nothing else for yourself, visit this site to keep in touch!
You need to keep your sanity. Congratulations!
