Im here every day. Just dont post that much sometimes. Not too much is new here, I have a meeting with a school counselor on Friday. I really need to go back, especially if I want to make a lot of money, raise a family, buy a house, etc. And even though I'm not that old, I feel like I am lol I also cut my hair today.. I'm completely bald now. Its kinda sad.. I miss my hair already. It took me 3 months to grow it, and 30 seconds to shave it

Good plan on going back to school Jake..I did too at age 24 (Computer programming), raising a son on my own and working a part time job...i graduated top of my class with a 4.0 Grade Point Average..and I sucked in school in grade/high school...it's so much better going back as an adult, you are more grounded, know what you want and have a bunch of life experiences to help you out! And there isn't so much partying (at least for me) so you can really apply yourself!!! AND, you also realize what a great education can do for your lifestyle (without mommy and daddy footing the bill it means more to you) What are you thinking of taking?

Um, why did you cut your hair if you already miss it???

 

[Burner02]

good morning, ms. vel!

I kinda did the same thing you did, J-
I tried college right after high school...wasn't for me...took time off...went back..still wasn't for me..went into AF and grew up..then got out and got a B+ average while holding 18 credit hours, full and part time jobs...good stuff...

 

[Velvet]

No kidding eh? Good for you, I think that kids these days should go out into the workforce with their crappy high school diploma (if that) and work minimum wage in a dead end job for a few years before they go to College so they can appreciate it and apply themselves more. It's what I'll be recommending to my son!

 

[Burner02]

join the corps!

hooah!

15 sets of light wt.(110 lbs.) squats. 30 sec. sets As many as I can do in 30 secs ( around 25 -28 ). 30-45 sec RI's between sets .

Something from your coach (P-funk )

Your new wo/diet and your ability to stick with it are nothing short of amzing ! Did you take Pics and measurements when you started it? I can't wait to see the new you ! Although the current you is mighty nice ! xoxo

 

[PreMier]

Well, it was going to be a career college. So that I could go for what I wanted to do(health and exercise science).. but my family wasnt too happy about that I'm still having a meeting tomorrow with a counselor, for some information.. but we will see. Family wants me to go to the University, and I dont know if I can get financial support if I dont. BTW, I just turned 22 not long ago.

Do what YOU want to do or you won't be happy and it'll be a load of wasted money and brain cells! Why don't they want you to get into health and exercise science? Those careers rock! That's what I'm planning on doing once my son is grown and on his own - life #2

And there's always financial assistance, their interest rates are really low and it's soooooooo worth the freedom of not having strings attached if you catch my drift!!!

22 eh? Lots of time to get a great education

 

[Burner02]

..and she is smart...
can I have you?

 

[Velvet]

come get me on your jet

very well said, and for most, it's probably true. I went back at 29 to take Computer Programming and as you said, better my life for my family, but also to experience the partying.

I was third in our class

Hey NT, and congrats! I partied some, but not too much...i balanced it all out, met the best people there, friendships I'll have for the rest of my life, so I can't wait to head back to University for my second career

Morning
thanks. The job I have pays well, it's just pretty bland.

Going back to University after your son grows up ... wow! Are you not scared about not being able to job based solely on your age? For me ... that would put me in my late 40's ... and University courses are a minimum of 4 years - that would put me early 50's when I graduated. Not much chance of getting a job at that age I don't think.

 

[Velvet]

Na, I'll be about 44 when I graduate..still lots and lots of time before I hit 60

 

[Luke9583]

44!

My dad turns 57 tomorrow

 

[naturaltan]

And being 44 and out of work for so long doesn't worry you?

Wow ... you're much more ambitious than I. Well, probably 95% of the population is more ambitious than I.

 

[Velvet]

If you have some nice savings then being out of work for 4 years would be heaven! Besides, I've paid of my student loans, I could take out more..good investments

 

[Velvet]

oh oh, just spilled the juices from my grapefruit into my mouse....it'll go nicely with the tuna salad I spilled all over the keyboard last week

 

[naturaltan]

I didn't mean financially, I meant work wise. You don't seem concerned at the least at being out of the workforce for at the minimum 4 years and then trying to re-enter at 44.

 

[naturaltan]

Hey ... do you realize your Vegas trip is just before the comp you plan on entering? You'll really have to watch what you eat/drink in Vegas

 

[Velvet]

OMG You know what Steve? I never even thought of that! Oh well, I've been on vacation during pre-comp and I had no problems! Besides I'm there for the scene and the pool, not the food..same food we have here And just think of all the cals i'll burn walking all over the strip So still gonna meet me there now
