Class in Session

Confessions of a 37 Year Old Freshman

As some of you may know I have re-entered the college world! I am a student at Montclair State University and though I am excited - it is very weird and surreal. At first I thought that I would look very old with my Trapper Keeper folder and blue BIC pen - but actually are most students are still writing with a pen..unless they are texting someone (I thought I would be in a room full of Macs and me with my Acabus). And there are a few faces in my class that are too beyond their 20s. So far I am enjoying my classes (its only been 2 weeks) and I am already ahead in my reading assignments..again it's only been 2 weeks.Of course as I shared with my husband and daughter - getting in is the easy part - finishing is something different. And that honestly scares me - part of me is thinking what is a world am I doing and what opportunities lie ahead. Really. This is all a head game and I am really being optimistic - just sometimes a little anxiety sets in. Just keeping it real.I just want to thank everyone for their support...Everyone from my Dads (Mr. Gomez & Mr. Pierce) and Moms (Ms. Pierce, Ms. Gomez, & Ms. McPherson), to my friends who keep writing me recommendations (I have paid you well) to Kenny (aka "Not the Mommy but get used to it"), and my daughter (who told me I should be a doctor) - everyone thank you for believing in me ...it's going to be a long ride.
