Back to School

SO I have decided to go back to school. As you know, I already have my BA in Theater. But that degree is soooo useless. I might as well have gotten a degree in under-water basket weaving. So I have decided to go back to school and pursue a degree in Nursing. I put my application in a few months ago at BYU-I and have been waiting to hear if I have been accepted for the winter semester (Jan). But yesterday I found out, that since I already have a bachelor's degree, I am not eligible to go to school full-time. I am also not eligible for financial aid. Including student loans. Justin was not phased by this. I, however, live on the planet Earth and realize that on a professor's income, there is no possible way to pay for college. If Justin were CFS-track (meaning permanant or "tenure-track") then it would be free tuition for me. But he is not, and so it is not. So this great idea has been put on the back burner for now until I can save up enough money for at least one class. I really didn't think it would be this difficult. But that is okay. I will take it as it comes and see what happens. But at least I have been accepted to the school. And if I wanted to (or were able to) I could start taking classes this fall. But I can only go part-time as a non-traditional student. Because of my blasted degree. My useless degree is totally holding me back! What was I thinking going into theater? I was going to be a teacher. But I woke up and realized that #1 there are not very many positions out there for theatre teachers, and #2 I don't want to teach a bunch of teenagers. Anyway, I will be able to go to school as a non-traditional student, but I just can't take more than 2 classes a semester, which is fine with me, at least until I get into the nursing program. (If I get into the nursing program.) So my dreams are not dashed, just put on hold for one semester.
