Why I'm Blogging

Dear Diary, I became a full time University student on August 24, 2009. I am taking 4 classes and I am the oldest person in each of my classes; yes, even older than my Professors. Adjusting to homework and trying to fit in has been stressful. The students in my classes have been very understanding and I think I am even making some friends. I am on a scholarship and have to keep my grade point at 3.6 to maintain my financial aid. This causes me to feel a lot of pressure. I decided to write a blog to provide encouragement to other non-traditional students, to provide a few laughs for my fellow students, and to help my family and friends understand why I can no longer remember their names or what day of the week it is.
