Little Bit Scared ...

Its been a while since I've posted. A lot has been going on in that time. I'm not going to write about all of that today. I have other things that I need to get off of my chest.

I want to go back to school but I have a few factors working against me right now. The main one being that I've lost my job so I have no income. I've applied for a job in several places but I've come up with nothing so far. And, because I've no formal education, I can't apply for jobs that I'd be so qualified for if I had a college education.

So, I want to go back to school. And I'm really scared that I might fail at this. Last time I tried to go back, I had to quit in the middle of the semester for financial reasons. If I had it to do all over again, I would have toughed it out. I really dropped the ball on that one.

I'm not sure what else to do. I'm really upset right now. I just needed to blog about it. Hopefully someone "hears" me and has a suggestion or two.

I've already started my FAFSA app. But, I'm concerned about getting enough money to pay for at least a semester so that I won't have to come out of pocket right away. Heck, if I could get Uncle Sam to pay for a whole YEAR I'd be home free.

I'm so scared I could cry. And I ought to know better but still ... this is scary.

I'm going to an open house at the school of my choice on Monday. Undoubtedly, I'll be the oldest potential student there and the only one without her mommy and daddy. *sigh*

Grrr ...
