There was a class at my high school called "early childhood development" and I tried to take it all four years but it wasn't offered to freshman the first year (typo in the catalog), then it was full for a year, then I couldn't fit it into my schedule, and then senior year a bunch of nasty freshman girls took it with me and the teacher had 0 control over the class. So I traded out of it because I couldn't handle listening to them SCREAM ABOUT THEIR SEX LIVES AND ALL THE FUN DRUGS THEY DID LAST WEEKEND while the teacher was trying to lecture. Blech. So I'm excited to finally be able to take this class, lol.

Also, well done on keeping quiet lol. I think it would have just bubbled up and out if it had been me :P |
It was VERY difficult to keep quiet, I actually had to tell my Meme (mom's mom) the day that I applied and had to swear her to secrecy because I needed her to tell me the distance to the college, since I'm not living on campus the application required me to put in the driving distance. So her and I got together in the middle of the week and had a little excited celebration in the car, and it was really hard for her to keep the secret too.
It just seemed like every time I thought about going back to school, and talked it over with a friend or family member they ended up talking me out of it. "Oh, well if you're going for that job keep in mind you'll be stuck with doing this, and this, and this, and this...." Every job has pros and cons, and I consider all the ones I can think of before I make the decision, I don't need that much negativity when I'm trying to better my life... so I just got up one morning and applied. Had been thinking of going in this direction for a while, so I did. All by myself. Lol.
