Back to school....


Ok, so no, its not going to be as much fun for me as it was for Rodney Dangerfield, but, never-the-less, I am going back to school. In order to ultimately get my Appraiser's License, I have to have an Associates Degree. Its not something I can test out of, I have to get it.
I have been researching which schools will let me take most or all of the classes online, its the easiest way for me working full time and still raising three kiddos. Ball State is looking pretty good at this point, but I am still looking. Today I started checking into financial aid. I am not proud, I will take what I can get. Ball State is also looking into scholarships for me.
I feel so utterly stupid on how to move forward on this. But next fall when it all starts for my daughter, I will have it figured out. I am overwhelmed with all of the information and hardly know where to begin. But all I can do is keep going one step at a time.
I was hoping to have my trainee exam fiasco concluded before I started in on this....but they are saying they will have a decision for me hopefully by the end of the week. Its funny how you get something in your head of how you are going to do everything step by step and something just doesn't quite go as you planned and it can throw you completely off track if you let it. I am trying to handle my slight little sideline...with a smile on my face and a positive attitude and lots of prayers!
