school?

I can't believe that I'm really enrolled at Grand Valley.  Unfortunately, I can't get the degree that I really wanted.  Damn background checks!!  If you have three dui's, you can't get into the nursing program unless it has been 10 years since your last conviction.  I only have 7.   They don't have a veterinary program either.  So  I guess for now it's general education courses and then on to Not For Profit Administration.  I was really dismayed that my 188 credits from Lansing Community College didn't transfer.  Well, 4 of them did.  So, for now, I'm starting over, accept it's going to be harder because it's on a university level.  I so wanted an easier, softer way, for continuing my education, but I guess it's not Gods will.  What is Gods will for me?  To have a degree when I'm 53?  It just feels like so many road blocks popped up, and yet I keep going.  I'm beginning to wonder, but the financial aid is the only constant in the scheme of things.  I guess I just have to roll with it.  I already told my job that I would be cutting down to 4 days a week instead of 5.  I think I'll get a waiver for next term to at least get into a painting class as a non-major.  That could be fun, or very intimidating.  I'll just have to focus on my work, and not look at anyone Else's.  I'll be getting the Internet at the house, so that will be easier for me to study.  I guess it's just the process that I'm supposed to be going through now.  It just doesn't feel good.  It's out of my comfort zone.  I am not excited about it at all.  Time to make lemonade out of lemons.
