I’m addicted to school. I know some of you are looking at my age, and thinking ”What???” But it is true.
Every time I finish a degree, I sing “School’s out forever!” And then, it just sucks me back in for another diploma or degree. It costs a lot of money, it demands all my time. I just took German -2nd year college, and it was “in class” rather than “on line.” So, I lost marks, if I missed a class. Other than to see family at Christmas, we did nothing this winter. We are retired, and I kept telling my husband, “no, no, I can’t miss a class.” He kept begging me to travel to warm places, as I flipped word cards at the kitchen table.
School is just an excuse to buy books and write essays. And learn languages, theology, science and philosophy. I have tried to give it up, but the addiction goes deep.
And now, I have registered for another degree. Aghh! It never ends. The school ball and chain. I wonder if some day, it will take my life?? Well, tomorrow is my German final, pray for me to be able to write it. And that, I can just relax for a day or two, before I pick up a summer course. I am a prisoner! Help!!!
