Day 2...

Hello,

Today was extremely interesting. I spent about 6hours helping my boyfriend's father apply, register and find the location of his classes for his upcoming first semester back in college in 35 years. No worries, he is signed up for a computer class so he can learn how to use the machine that controls the college world these days! Also, I met with a guy who had posted on Craigslist and bought a Literature book from him for a class I added to my schedule.

Seeing how nervous my boyfriend's dad was to attend school again after so many years made me both glad that I would hopefully get done with school in the next few years and scared for him and all the adults back in school. I often find myself dreading going back to school after a short winter or summer break. I can not imagine a 35 year gap between semesters.

Hoping for a good weekend before classes start on Monday!

Reason #2 for College Drop-Outs: Student too nervous to continue their education. Will I ever be DONE with school? What if the teacher requires me to do or use something I do not know how to do or use, already? How does one learn all of the functions of a computer fast enough to be successful in Today's college life?
