After a 20 year break, I am officially registered at Lanier Technical College majoring in Computer Information Systems. Double minoring in panic attacks and being scared silly.
Also..... oddly excited.
Classes start March 31st.
My son has always thought that I was so lame. The"What would you do if you won the Powerball?" answer was always the same.... "I want to go back to school." (AFTER rolling around naked in a large pile of money, a weekend of debauchery ending with a polite request never to return to the Four Seasons Hotel again.) No fast cars, expensive jewelry, designer wardrobe, just.. a full time student at the local college. He would give me the look you give small children or slightly addled senior citizens and change the subject. School to him, was a bore. Something to be tolerated until he was legally able to leave WITHOUT my permission.
I hate my job. It's just a smaller version of hell. Every morning I sit in the parking lot and pep talk myself out of the car and into the building. This morning I thought of the exit interview I will be scheduling 2.5 seconds after graduation. The old exit interview was, "Screw this, i'm outta here." I'll work on a different phrasing.
