So, onto the post I promised about school *grin*
I AM GOING TO COLLEGE! Woot! Woot!
Can you tell I am excited?! haha. I really wish it would start already. I might change my mind once it actually does, but I am really excited at the moment.
When I graduated from high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do, but college isn't something that I ever thought about. As you may know, I moved to Arizona a year after graduating and worked until I decided to go to beauty school. I got my cosmo license and thought that would be enough to tide me over. Well, really it is, but I want more!
I want to know more. I want to learn more. And by golly, those things point fully at the need to go to school. I signed up for the community college down here in Tucson and will be starting the end of August. I am heading the Business route. I want to eventually transfer to the University and get my degree. hehe.
I think Business will work the best. There are enough things that I want to do with my life, including being a wife and a mom, that having a background in business will help with. Who knows, I might one day have a B&B with a salon, photography studio, floral shop, catering company, crafting studio, and wedding planning company all in one. I'll put the plug in now, that I would ABSOLUTELY love to be a stay at home mom, raising our family, having my talents being used in my own home instead of outside of it, instead of ALL of those things. But one should have a back up, in case said desire for an eternal family doesn't happen in this life or circumstances change once said eternal family is had.
I am thankful I have the time, energy, and resources to go to school before I have a family though. Who knows, what if my kids are super geniuses and I have to have a better understanding of math rather than, just pre algebra for them? lol! Math is not my strong point people! I am starting out low in hopes of getting a better in it before I even try to go into the harder stuff.
I am also really excited to be able to take more art classes! I am quite sure that I will surpass the requirements for fine art credits, but whatev, I LOVE that I can take fun classes! I will also be taking writing, business, and a language class.
I originally chose Spanish as the language I wanted to learn. I live in Tucson, come on, Spanish makes perfect sense, but the impression to drop Spanish and pick up Sign Language, was very, VERY STRONG! So I signed up for Sign.
Except for the last 6 months or so, never in my life have I had a desire to learn Sign Language. I mean never! Since being back in Tucson, I have however come across people who work with the deaf community, and I even have the privilege of learning some sign in my primary calling (the music leader in my ward uses sign to teach the kids new songs!). I'm excited to learn more!
Yay! For learning!
Once school starts, I hope I make the time to keep up with the blog! I have until August 24, so if you notice my posts start dwindling off after that... you'll know why *grin*

Good luck
Why Thank You!
Congratulations! Proud of you. Good job for taking the initiative to just get things done! I'm debating over a master's degree for the same reasons... wanting to just learn and know more, and obviously open up more job opportunities. (School Counseling)... but we'll see! Thanks for making me think harder about it. :)
Bree, how exciting! You should totally do it! Take a leap and maybe even head to another state! What a fun adventure it could be! Or stay in the good ole U.T. I hear it has a few highly accredited colleges. lol.
I am really excited to just start already though! Sheesh, why isn't it the end of August already? Thanks for the congrats, I am just thankful I now have the desire to go. The Lord sure does love us!
