ACADEMIA

I've often thought that education is wasted on the young. I confess, I spent much of my college experience, playing tennis, trying to figure out what I was going to wear the next day, and hanging out at Denny's attempting to study, (but really I was checking out the weirdness of the late night crowd).

I didn't do terribly in my college courses, surprisingly. I managed to show up when and where I was suppose too. What I missed out on was the excitement that goes along with learning something new, the thrill, and tingle of information, previously unknown.

At 30 something I have an almost unquenchable desire to learn things. I'm not super picky about what it is, although human behavior is probably my favorite..

So....... that being said, I'm taking myself back to school. When I was in college the older students were always the ones who had a clue, a sense of purpose.... Maybe this time around that will be me..

I'm terrified, excited, curious, and OLD.

What's that they say?? Ah, yes, better late than never.

Wish me luck!
