 THE AGGIES ARE BACK IN TOWN!  Its time once again for me to hit the books.  After a long 4 year hiates and (a degree later) I am going back to school on Monday to begin work on my 2nd Bachelors degree!The story:
Returning to school has been on my mind for a couple of years, but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do when I finished. I kept searching the catalog, web site, and talking to people about their jobs. I knew that I didn't want take more than 2 years to finish, I wanted to do something that was going to be financially worth it (happiness gets you to heaven, but money gets you through life), and I wanted it to be something that I knew and felt comfortable and enjoyed doing.
Professional and Technical Writing was where my search ended. In 3 semesters and an internship I will have another paper in my hand that won't just tell me I am smart, but it will scream "this girl'z got SKyLz!!!"
Once I began the process of financial aid and applying to the program I haven't looked back. Only recently have I felt that the Lord has had his hand in this process from the begining. It has taken me a long lifetime to get to where I am today. I guess I am just a late bloomer! :)
I won't say that I am not scared, because honestly, I am terrified! However, I feel sure that this is what I am supposed to be doing right now. Besides, it was George Eliot that said "It is never too late to be what you might have been." Amen George, Amen!

What was George Elliot's real name? I guess I could google it.
Congrats on starting school again. You are so brave! I'm too scared to go back for fear the professors might realize I am really stupid and shouldn't have gotten my first bachelors and take it away from me!
Technical writing... that is what my dad does for a living. If you need any assistance, I could ask him anything for you!
You go girl!
Go Aggies! You go go go! You will do great! I miss Utah State and would love to go back myself. My degree has limited uses. Mike's secretaries make more money with no degree, than I did with mine. Hmmm. Someday I will make it back!
I am excited for you and know you will succeed!
GOOD LUCK I hope the first day is great!
congrats, jennie! you go girl!
