Decision

Going back to school has been an interesting experiment. I have been taking an evening class since April to see how well I would do sitting in class for 3 hours after being at work all day long. I also wanted to see if I am smart enough to sit in class with other students, many of them the age of my daughters. Oh, and then there is the whole idea of learning something, too.

In recent years I have felt less than many of my co-workers because I only have a BS degree. I don't need higher education for my position and I am not looking for other work. I have often thought that there might be something wrong with me because I had never wanted to go back to school for a masters. Not high on my list of priorities. Then I found out that Foothill College had a Certificate of Gerontology program. Hmmmmmm. I thought that I would be able to do this at my own pace.

It's been difficult to do the required reading and homework in the time I have available. I'm working on my term paper which is due on the 15th of this month. My final is on June 24th. I had put the question out to the Universe...."Should I continue with these classes?"

The Universe didn't take long to answer. I found out in class this week that the program has been suspended due to budget cuts. There aren't enough students in the program to keep it going at this time. There it is. So I will finish my paper and take my final and then wait and see what the Universe has in mind for me now.
