it’s hard to overstate my satisfaction

After more than a decade, I have gone back to school.

I felt apprehensive (as would anyone who has been out of the academic realm for such a long time), and I wondered whether my dusty, rusty brain cells could handle yet another round of college courses.

I am glad to report– after my first day at school– that my dusty, rusty brain cells are still up to it. I also believe that my more mature (yarite!) outlook in life more than compensates for the accumulated mental cobwebs I have had to brush off.

Eventually (hopefully), I would like to follow in the footsteps of the wifey and take up Nursing. It’s a far cry from my original line of work (computers), but since outsourcing programming jobs is still the in thing to do, I am forced to take up something quite different from what I consider my forte.

Therein lies the challenge, and I intend to take it up and conquer it.

Right now, I am liking my chances.
