School starts tomorrow

I was laid off a job I had worked for 25 years in Feb. 2004. I became a college student at Angelina College that semester with the goal of being accepted to the Physical Therapy Assistant program at Kilgore College. I have reached that goal and begin the PTA program tomorrow.

I'll meet a bunch of people tomorrow that I will spend the next two years with. I'll drive about 180 miles everyday I go to school, which is four days a week this semester. I'm nervous but excited all at the same time.

It has been a busy 18 months since I lost my job. I have attend school, worked part time as a PT tech at the hospital ( I'll still work my weekends) and kept a pretty good balance. Hope I can keep it that way.

On another note kids did good at a TKD tournament this weekend. First sparring for Morgan, third sparring for Mary.

The blog is coming right along, if you can handle all this 'interweb' stuff, I'm sure you'll be ok in PT school. Best wishes! I just hope the cost of fuel will not be too much of a burden. Any chance of car pooling?

No chance of car pooling. I'm a road warrior.

Looks like I will try to buy a hybrid car in a couple of months.

I've been interested in those, too. Then I heard that they don't save much on the highway, they are best in stop-and-go, city driving. You might want to check that out before you buy for this drive.
