It's official.
I am now a student at our local community college.
I am really excited...but nervous about starting over at my age. Brianna went with me to show me around since I haven't been a student there for....cough25yearscough.
I am working on getting a certificate in medical coding and billing. I can continue on and get a degree in it if I want.
But, I didn't have to take placement tests in reading or writing, so that was good. I did have to take the math one, though. We won't discuss how badly I did on the algebra section. Ahem. I did it quickly...but I told Brianna...I could have sat there for a week..and it would not have helped...lol.
I am only taking 5 credit hours this quarter. I found out today that they offer a scholarship for displaced workers (nice word for laid off/you have no job loser/get a life). If I get it, it will cover about 90% of my costs for the next quarters.
One of my classes is online. I may have to take the laptop to a cafe near here and work off of their Wifi. I am pretty sure I can't do it on this one right now. But, online was the only class in this course that was left.
Oh, and I figured out today that my many, many, many years of being a hypochondriac will finally pay off...I have already looked up so many symptoms/diseases/procedures on my own that I already know some of the terminology for my first class : )~
