Back to School and Adjusting to Life

Well, it's been a while to say the least. A lot has happened but i am going to skip ahead to NOW. I just went back to school. I am attending Fortis College to get an Associate in Nursing. I decided a few months back that i was tired of just working at a JOB (Just Over Broke). I wanted a career, that paid well and would be something i would enjoy doing for years.

I just had finals last night for my first term. I actually got 100% on the test, and it felt good. this term I had Psychology 101 and College Success 100. Psychology really helped me understand myself better, as well as my family and extended family. It caused me to reflect on dreams and goals i had back in high school as a senior. Some things I did pursue, others not yet but I plan to now that I have been reminded.

This past week, my wife's grandfather died. He was 91 years old, and a friend to all those who knew him. Over the past few weeks leading upto his death, the family was in absolute turmoil. I love my Mother and Father in-law, and appreciate the example they are to me. I know that they have had many trials and obstacles in their lives, and even more stupid family members to deal with. I don't say stupid because they are unintelligent or uninformed in any way, but because they choose to act contrary to a sane person. Dumb is lack of intelligence, stupid is a consciences choice to do or say dumb things. I am gratefull for my wife and for what I have learned.
