Yesterday I applied to the local community college, and signed up for a class. I got my books, student ID (nothing like an awkward picture to say welcome to school) and found my classroom today and I start class on Monday. Nothing like last minute, right? I use the term "student" loosely as I am really just taking one class and have no intention of walking across a stage to get a piece of paper that says that I know stuff. Not that that's a bad thing, at all! I just don't see myself needing that.So, I am a "1 class at a time to learn what I want to, when I want to" student. The class I am taking this semester is an Intro to Graphic Design class. It will cover a wide variety of things including web design!
I'm excited!
And nervous. About normal, very rational things.
You know, like that everyone in the class will know way more than me. And they will all know each other and already be best friends before the class starts. And that I'll be all alone in the front left corner of the room because no one wants to talk to the weird old girl with 2 kids and a mini van who uses her fingers to add 6+8. Rational.
I never envisioned myself going to a Technical College... where there are many smart people. The kind of people that probably don't need to spell check "envisioned" or use a calculator to divide single digit numbers or have to turn around 3 times while trying to find their classroom so they aren't late on their first day.
But, I'm sure I'll be fine :)
Because when I do stop and think rationally, I know that it's not a coincidence that I got the last spot of this class 4 days before it started. When I think rationally, I know that this class is preparing me for something that is part of the big picture plan for my life. The plan that God alone can see.
That's what makes me excited!
So if all my irrational fears that I think are totally rational come true on Monday and I am the outcast who doesn't know anything, I'll just remind myself that God has a plan...and I just have to be obedient. Which is something I can do!

You'll probably be surprised how many people at the school a) don't know each other AT ALL and b) are over 30. At the community college I went to, quite a few of the students were over 60 and almost no one knew more than like 5 people at the school total. I think I got to a total of 3 people that I knew. lol Congrats on going to school. Enjoy.
yay sarah i'm so excited for you! and i'm thinking you won't be doing a lot of math in graphic design...
Coooooool Sarah! :) I can't wait to hear what you learn!! SO AWESOME!
Old girl? Really Sarah? LOL. Congrats on this new and exciting part of your life!! One class at a time is a great pace for a busy mom like you. Have fun :-)
