Time to hit the books

I am officially a grad student as of yesterday. I am pretty excited about it. It has been five years since I graduated, so hopefully it won't be too hard to start again. Lucky for me I have had to study for a lot of different qualifications associated with my job, so that part shouldn't be too hard. I am only worried about a couple of things. One is that I have to re-orient my writing style to that of a college student. The military has a unique style, much shorter and choppier than usual, which was hard for me to get used to at first. The other thing is the program I am in is through the Naval War College, so I am worried that I will be surrounded by much senior officers who have way more experience than I do. Guess I will have to wow 'em with my sense of humor! :) No, maybe not the best idea- better just study hard. The funny part is that the first class that I enrolled in cost more than one whole semester at SDSU! Good thing Uncle Sam is picking up the tab. They did tell me that if I fail the class I have to pay it back, so I'd better not fail. My class starts July 3rd, so I have a little time to goof off before it's time to get down to business.

I'm planning on going back to school next year, once my last little one goes to Kindergarten.
Congrats!
