A Little Piece of Normalicy and Happiness :) Mood
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 | An Educational story

well here's some happy things to talk about in my journal for once. Laughing

so i started school again today. i haven't been back to finish my degree since i was diagnosed with UC, that was 3 years ago. i'm only taking one of the two classes i need to graduate, but at least its a start is the way i think about it. 

i'm taking my math/science requirement... and i chosenutrition for today becuase it seemed the easiest. one day of this class and i already see the irony of it. we have to keep a food journal (which i already do) and we are starting on digestive diseases... looks like i'll do well here, lol. hopefully i will learn something new and informative, and i'll be sure to tell you all.

also, i was worried about signing up for 1 class even, because i need to keep with attendance. i informed the professor of my situation, and she is completely understanding... i can't tell you how great that feels. i was so worried that she was going to tell me "i'm sorry, but there is no special treatment here." or "you should've filed disability with the school and now its to late"

i'm just glad i'm completing one of my two degrees finally when i never thought i would go back to school because of how sick i am. i believe i can do this! Sealed

    Good for you! I knew your teachers would be understanding. Nutrition classes are fun; one of my degrees is in clinical nutrition. Wishing you the best; always!
