[QUOTE=remind me why I'm doing this, okay?[/QUOTE]
Because this is the greatest thing in the world- and you've already gotten what a lot of us are still trying to accomplish (a BA), and at this point in time you apparently have the MONEY and TIME (2 huge hurdles for most of us)to go on to something even greater.
Carrie Newcomer has a song that goes- "nothing's ever wasted, not the sweet or bitter fruit I've tasted". You're gonna make it because you've already proved to yourself that you can accomplish the miracle of self-educating without being spoon-fed.
People are constantly asking me why I'm doing this, especially at my age (yeah I'm 52)...why not get my RN, or a degree in something that will make more money? Because THIS is the missing piece in my life, and if it takes me until I'm 60 I'm going to do it- and people like you who have done so much and are still doing more inspire US to keep going. Make sense?
