So I'm finally going back to school full time. Yup, I've quit my job. This is my last full-time week. They are letting me stay on part-time until the end of June. After then I will be looking for a part-time job (ideas please!). The new quarter starts next week so I will be taking a full load of classes and working part-time. I've transferred my credits to Strayer University, which is where Jared works. I get a discount so I will finish my associates there and then transfer back to either the U or another University in the valley. I should be done with my associates in December.
I'm really excited, but really nervous. I've also had a lot of people tell me I'm stupid for quitting my job with the State in this economy which has made me question my decision. But I know this is what I should be doing. So, in answer to those people, I have an opportunity to go back to school, which I've been wanting to do since I dropped out. I can't pass that up, and I love the people I work with, but it's not what I want in a career. I'm too young to be in a dead-end job that I don't like.
Anyway, I'm a student again. I will try to post more, but I can't make any promises.

You will NEVER regret finishing your education - you will regret it if you don't! I am very proud of your decision. Love you, Mom
Congrats Jess!! You deserve to do something you love. I am so excited for you to go back to school. It is a lot of work, but I think you will be glad you did it. We miss you guys!!! Hope things are going well.
Congrats Jesse! That is great.
Congrats! The sooner you get done with school the sooner you can quit doing homework! That's great! Good luck, you'll do great!
that's awesome Jesse! It's a big change to go back, so good for you. I understand completely I had to do something else with my life as well and that's why I went back, but I'm sure it would've been so much easier without kids. Good luck and I hope things will work out for you. You guys are in our prayers.
thanks for the congrats, it means a lot.
