Well, I have been having a very productive couple of days.  I virtually finished all of my work for this semester. I think I am going to pull a 4.0 this time around.  I am pretty extatic about that because that will allow me to graduate Magna Cum Laude. This is something that I have strived for for 20+ years.  I have gone back to school 3 times since I graduated from high school.  First I went to college right out of HS and my sister died as a result of a car accident. I then changed my mind and enrolled to be a paramedic which didn't require a degree.  And I worked at the fire department for 13 years.  I then went back to school and got my Associates in general science just for GPs.  Then I went back for my Registered Nurse - another Associates.  Now I am back for my Bachelor's and I duel-majored in Psychology and Nursing.  From there I want to go to graduate school and get my Behavioral Health Nurse Practitioner's License.  Regardless, when I returned to school this last time, I went on a full scholarship for academics.  When I returned my then husband told me he would support me going back to school since we wouldn't have to pay for a dime of it and since he is a firefighter and is virtually home most of the time and could care for the children (or grandma could) the 16 hours a week that I would be out of the house. We had an agreement that I would do all my schoolwork after the kids went to bed.  So, 1 week into my going back to school and he caring for the kids, he gave me an ultimatum: either school or him.  Without batting an eye I said school.  What man can't care for his own children for 16 hours a week when he is home in that time anyway?He wouldn't do it.  I ended up hiring a babysitter to watch his children while he was home and I went to school.  The funny thing is, he thinks he was so supportive of me while I went to school.That is why I am so proud of myself for graduating Magna Cum Laude.  If I hadn't screwed off that first year while I was grieving my sister's death, there is a good chance I would have graduated Summa Cum Laude, but life is what it is.  I am grateful of my accomplishments none the less.One more semester to go!
