For months I've been saying I'd call the community college to make an appointment and talk about going back to school.And I finally called today and did it. I have an appointment for next monday.
That is awesome!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Do you have clean underwear? Then it can wait for tomorrow.
And even if you don't. Just don't tell nobody.

Sean's fauna resembles mine. Not so much bees, though. Lots & lots of Jilli-fonts.
Skunk in the front yard last night. Really nothing to do but hope nobody startles it.

Thrive to spite them
Epic, I have no idea. I'm 39 and I have no idea what I want to study! I had to tell them something so right now I'll be talking to someone about getting an AA in Liberal Studies.
I do have some college credits but I don't want to transfer them. I'd like to start over like I've never been.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, if you need some assistance and career counseling resources, give me a holler.

I would love to go back to school and pick up some History and non-potential-career stuff. Just indulge in learning.

AA in Liberal Studies
Great place to start! I have an AA in Liberal Studies. I had a great time (except possibly for physics...oh, and statistics, but everything else, really great). I always loved to study EVERYTHING. I think you'll really enjoy it!
edit: And it helped me get a feel for things, so I had a better idea of strengths and weaknesses when I went for my Bachelor's. Like I said, excellent place to start.

Go askye! That's awesome!
I just had a drama-filled work meeting about something that went wrong, and I felt awful because I had to throw a colleague under the bus. I tried to mitigate (and I feel extra awful because I KNOW how horribly stressed and awful they were being to her back then) but there's no reason why she DIDN"T bring up this issue sooner...argh.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
That's great, askye! We don't have an equivalent of liberal arts here. I think it would have helped me work out what I enjoyed studying.

AA in Liberal Studies is fine. And hey....DON'T not take transfer credits, bebe. Sweet, sweet, moola there.
If it's in a subject you're interested in, but you feel like you didn't get the knowledge, personally I'd ask around, see if you can find a prof for that class who has a student-friendly rep and say "Look, I took this class yonks ago, but I was in a bad place, and I didn't learn much. Now, they gave me the credit and I don't have the money to audit. Is there anyway I could sit in silently?"
Some will say yes, some no -- unless it was a tiny class, or a writing class, I would have said yes in a hot second -- a student who WANTS to learn this stuff I'm breaking my balls to teach? COME ON HERE, here's the rules.
