She was really focused and had a really good idea of exactly where she wanted her degree to take her, (which she might not have had when she was younger) and graduated with almost a 4.0.
I can sympathize with you as well ... I've been out of school for a few years (and also feel OLD!) and in 2 weeks am moving to PA to start a PhD. I am terrified. Scared that I won't be smart enough, disciplined enough, etc. But I refuse to let those feelings control me. Let's just give it our best shot and see where we end up!
I wish you the best of luck ... if you ever need anyone to commiserate with, you can count on me.  |
OMG THANK YOU
....that is SOOOOOOO What I needed. You have no idea....that really makes me feel I am not alone and that I can do it. I am so excited but so scared and nervous at the same time.
It has been about 10 years since I have been in school and I just turned 30 this year so I guess if anytime is the time ... it is now!
Let the fun and the journey begin .... I guess - ha, ha!!
Best of luck to you as well.
