Hi,
in early August I found this forum. I was just about to go back to school after decades out and I was terrified. I got some good encouragement from some folks here. I also spent a lot of time reading the blogs and other posts. I wanted to post a brief update of how I am doing so far.
I am currently enrolled in an online Health Information Technology program. This semester I have 3 classes (9 credits). It's past the half way point for the semester and I've never worked so hard in my life. However, I am loving it! I love the convenience of studying when I can. I am a night owl by nature so studying in the middle of the night suits me just fine sometimes. I love not having to drive anywhere to class. When my children are sick (H1N1 was here last month) I don't have to worry about missing class to stay home with them. As a matter of fact I have been wondering why I never thought to do this before now.
Anyway I just wanted to express my thanks for this forum and the people who keep it going. You have made a difference in my life and I wanted you to know that.
Susan
