[kol-ij]- an institution of higher learning

Yes, summer is over and it's that time of year again, back to school! This semester will be pretty tough for both Caleb and me. I am taking 20 credit hours, yes I will be in class 20 hours of every week for the next four months. I am doing this so I can graduate sooner and be DONE! Don't get me wrong, I like school, well kind of... I love my Health classes and love learning ways to make my life better. I just don't really like all of the homework that accommodates these classes. I guess it's kind of funny I want to be a teacher, and go back to school, even after I have that signed piece of paper which declares me a college graduate, a certified Secondary Health Educator. But ultimately I like to say I'm going to college so I can be a smart mom. I would love for my kids to be able to say, "I have the smartest mom on the block!" Plus, these health classes benefit my life so much, it amazes me. I don't recall using any of the skills I learned from my Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or a lot of the other classes which for some reason, somewhere, someone thought were essential in life, and are now required for yet again, that signed piece of paper. But health, that is something I use everyday! As for Caleb, he's starting all of the classes for Engineering... so his schedule consists of math, chemistry, and so on. We so hope we can just SURVIVE the semester. I'm sure in a few years from now, we'll look back and just laugh at the CRAZINESS our lives will be full of this semester. Wish us luck!
