I'm gonna do it
I've wanted to go back to school for years, but every time I try, I either get pregnant or someone divorces me, which really throws me for a loop.
Monday I'm going to head down to PSU and talk to someone about enrollment and financial aid. I don't really know how it all works, but I'm going to find out. I can definitely work part-time while in school full-time, and my youngest is in full-day kindergarten, which gives me time for day classes. As an older minority female single parent with a 3.9 GPA going into the sciences, I'm pretty confident I will be able to get decent aid to cover tuition. My main worry is getting the financial aid I need to pay my bills. If I can really for real pull this off, it would mean I could have my PhD by the time I'm 45! I really hope this works out. Wish me luck! |

Great idea Tiki.
What sort of field are you going to study? What institution?

Can't help you with the school thing except for wishing you luck.
Now on the other hand... if you decide you want to get pregnant again...

So today I applied for co-enrollment at PSU and PCC, and I started on my FAFSA but I don't have my 2008 tax papers back yet and my CPA is on vacation until the 27th.
