Inducted into Tri-Alpha Honor Society today. As a 40ish old, single parent, non-traditional student I am so proud of myself. #wou #trialphaenergy #nontraditionalstudent #willamettevalley

I'm so glad I'm a writer. After one more week of lesson material in 1 class, and about 1/2 the normal material in the second, I have about 15 pages of final exam essays to write. (2 min 5 pgs each and 2 no more than 2-3 pages each.)

I can do it. It'll mean a busy week and my own writing is pushed off one more week. But it's also a lot.

Instructor removed lockdown browser for the second test. Said scores went up. So what'd he do for this test? Returned to lockdown browser.

Instructor is board certified in ABA, so this makes since. #ABAisViolence

My Spanish Compositions class has an informative essay coming up. It must have an issue with two sides and cite sources from both sides.

My unlucky Spanish professor is about to learn way too much about baseball's designated hitter. Being a Spaniard, I'm not sure if the debate made it over there.

🧵 In the past wk, I have finally figured out what has been bugging me for the last 5 yrs. I do not “belong” at school. Not that I shouldn’t be here, getting an education, but that I cannot make connections w/anyone because the people my age are profs & the young people are, well, too young. I never thought about it until I started my internship & got to work in the “adult” world again. I am the only student in the dept. The only student who enters the bldg.

I started my Bachelor's program in Sociology today. And I've still got two weeks left in my classes for my Associate's in Public Health. These two weeks feel overwhelming but I'm doing my best to break it down into manageable chunks of work each day. And yeah, it's a lot, but I'm also really excited about all of it. Like I can't wait to get into this week's topics and see what's coming next week. #maturestudent #nontraditionalstudent #CSUSM #sociology #publichealth

I was worried about how well I could do at classes while working full-time (and at times I think I took too many credits), so this is a very nice thing to see today.

Alrighty, here’s some #mondaymotivation

Stay in school, ffs. You think it’s a lot of work now, but when you are in your 50s, having hot flashes, and raising 4 teenagers it will be far worse than you can imagine. And lonely too. You can’t make close friends with people your kids age. They just don’t go for that.

I’m so motivational. :)
