Y'all. I finished my first master's degree 30 years ago. Tomorrow is my first day of school toward my second master's degree.

I could never have imagined wanting this much education. 😂

Woohoo! Got my acceptance letter today to my nearby community college for winter quarter!!

...Why yes, yes, I DO already have two degrees (including a Masters degree). But... at 41, I finally feel ready to face down my fears of math and Excel pivot tables.

I need a summer of #gardening, organizing, revitalizing, de-stressing, and zero deadlines while I prepare for the next phase.

The terrible thing about going after your dreams later in life is the crippling realization that you've wasted so much time and so much of your life until then. 😥

More thesis reading. Professor Watt told in an email in April that this book was the most fun one to research and write. It's a pleasure to read, and accessible to non-specialists.😊

@nateanite.bsky.social was good enough to point out that it was this point 8 years ago that I decided to go back to school for a Master's Degree.

So. . . Any tips for a doctoral application?

I write my best academic papers last minute, but I have never been good at writing titles. I’m tempted to leave it (minus the spelling mistake), but my prof probably wouldn’t appreciate it.

Cover page for an academic paper titled “Insert Witty Title About Why Being a Millenial Mother Actually Really Sucks” and the author’s name, with further identifying information blacked out.

Getting back to those college habits. It’s almost 9pm EST. Time for a pot of coffee. The things I do to try and get into nursing school

I'm starting school on the 17th
I sure hope a bachelor's degree in environmental, safety, and risk management helps me defeat Dr. Eggman

Congratulations! Some of us take different academic journeys. They all matter. I'm finishing my b.a. 2 semesters to go and I'm 52. It's never too late. And non traditional students bring a lot to the table. #nontraditionalstudent

Not bad given my distractibility and multiple children requiring my attention round the clock. 🙂 Ch. 1 done ✓ Thirteen more to go. Hopefully I can finish ahead of schedule quickly and only have my mid-term & final as hard deadlines. 🤞🏻
