Another semester down

Since Covid-19 first entered the lexicon, I decided to listen to my Mother's advice and re-enter college.  We are on semester #9 (including summer semesters) and the feeling of accomplishment is a good one.  For the past three and a half years, I have challenged and pushed myself as hard as I could.  The biggest accomplishment of this effort for me is two-fold:  fulfilling a promise I made to my mother (who passed away in October of 2008) and another revelation, I have a 4.0 GPA.  Wait, what?  Yes... that is correct, as a 46 year old adult, I am doing extremely well, I just wish I could have had the same level of self-discipline when I previously attended college (both times).
