Going back to school at 46, very scary.

OK, It has been 20 years since I graduated from college with my B.S and even though I do go through continuing education as an RN, I figured it was time for me to go back to college. I love learning, put me is a bookstore over shopping any day of the week (weird I know). Tonight was my first class (History) and I sat there, feeling like I was going to have a major panic attack. Of course I got there about 1/2 hour early, like an older panicky student would and I watched as the young co-ed's arrived. There were a few others like me, but all I could think of was, am I smart enough, can I remember enough and can I take notes fast enough. A very scary experience for an older gal like me !

Congratulations on going back to school! Are you going back to just take some classes or are you looking towards your masters? I think it's great!

I went back to school at 34. It wasn't any easier then. But I found out pretty quickly that I have the edge over the co-eds. I'm there to learn. I'm not worried about how my make-up looks or if my sides are bulging over the tops of my ultra low rise jeans.
You can write fast enough. If it worries you, go get a micro-cassette recorder like I did. I don't ever remember listening to those tapes even once. It gave me peace of mind. I think it's exciting to see you return to college. You are plenty smart enough. Have fun with it.

I found the instructors LOVE us older kids. Instructors always called one me cos I cared and took great notes :o). I loved being in class with the younger kids, too.
HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
