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.
