Take out your No. 2 pencil. It's back to school!

I just returned from taking my first test in eight years!  In hopes of staying at home with my current and future babies, I am learning accounting to help my husband's business.  For someone with an Economics degree, let me tell you, I used to consider accounting to be in one of my personal circles of hell.  Debits and credits, blah!  Accounting was my lowest grade in college and I remember that class as four weekly hours of torture amidst the backdrop of beautiful spring afternoons.  However, time and circumstance have given me a different lens through which to look at things and accounting has been almost enjoyable this time 'round.

My class is online through Nashville State Community College, but I have to go on campus to take the tests.  Now that I have matured, I refuse to wear shorts or casual clothes to college - treat it like work, I tell myself!  So, I put on my nice Ann Taylor sweater set and black pencil skirt, sharpened my pencils and even put on makeup!  My goal was to be mistaken as a NSCC teacher, which I was not.  Since I went to college before the explosion of cell phones, I had the new experience of forfeiting my phone to a cubby before receiving my test so that I couldn't text for answers.  I feel very old saying that I went to college before cell phones.

I'll keep you posted on the class.  I'm hoping for an A++.
