I've been doing a lot of visiting & traveling on weekends. I haven't been home much except for week nights. It's been fun. I plan on going back to Ocracoke for Labor Day weekend to see my favorite band Island Time. I think I've become a groupie. It wasn't on my list of things to do, but it's been fun! I missed my family reunion up at Lake George. That was disappointing, but a new "opportunity" came up at work & I really needed to be at work that week. I missed seeing everyone. I know they understood, but when you don't get to see your loved ones often enough it makes it even more disappointing. I love my family very much. They are my blood & I am theirs. We don't have a choice about who our family members are, but thank goodness I happen to love mine!! Whether they agree with your life choices or not, I know they have my back. I am forever grateful for how they all showed up for me at a critical time in my life. It is just so hard to explain the bond we have. We came up together in one those dysfunctional families. I know what you're thinking, who doesn't come from some sort of dysfunctional family?! Well, this one is ours & our experiences have bonded us even though we have some large age gaps in the six of us. We are threaded together by our mother though each had a different relationship with her. We can all understand & relate to each other. Did I mention that I love them dearly?
I'm getting to my new adventure even if I'm taking the long way. Tonight I completed my registration to college...AGAIN!! I've been a professional student since 1970 when I first entered the halls of Wagner College in Staten Island, NY. It's time to finish & get a degree. My goal is a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resources. I am going to Strayer University where I have my choice of campus classes or on-line classes. The campus is less than 15 minutes from work - the closest one I could find. My first 2 classes are on campus: CIS 105 Intro to Information Systems which believe it or not, I've never taken and looking forward to & Bus 309 Business Ethics. I am really looking forward to Business Ethics. What a field day I can have with that!! They do offer testing out in certain classes; however, I've already completed & gotten credit for those. Strayer has accepted 81 credits from all five schools of higher learning that I've attended. That is so awesome!!! So this will cut down on some of my travels perhaps, but I really need to do something other than watch TV and eat. I think this will fill the bill.
This adventure is certainly in line with finding out who I wanna be!
