Back in School

[The Dude]

Well... I did it. I enrolled in 3 classes for the Summer term. 3 classes in 8 weeks. Life has continued to be chaotic for us and there have been new developments. After much discussion I've decided to try to finish my Bachelor's and also pursue a Masters. Due to a number of reprehensible actions on the part of the city it looks like I will be forced to have a complete cervical fusion probably in August. Basically the damage is done and at some point I will succumb to the condition so I've decided to get it over with and begin recovering and moving on with my life as quickly as possible. I've had this looming over my head for far too long and I'm in a precarious situation should anything unexpected jar or contact me with any amount of force. I'm hoping to be able to do some on line classes as the recovery is going to be pretty lengthy.
Long story short I was unaware that the Dr's said that I could not work after being fired. Due to that Workers Comp is supposed to continue paying my salary. They did not. Once they were forced to start they scheduled appointments for me and never notified me so that I would miss them. They then used this as a way to show I was noncompliant and stop my payments. The lengths they are willing to go to screw me are unfathomable. Fortunately I have 3 seperate attorneys from 2 large firms representing me and they have taken a personal interest in my cases. I'm in good hands there so all that is left for me is to have the damage repaired and get on with my life.
Being back in school is crazy. The students range in age from 19 to 50 so that helps me not to feel as out of place. I'm trying to get ahead of this stuff so I have some room to settle in. I tell you what.. I don't know how any of you can do school and work and the gym. That's just insane. It feels good to pack meals and have some structure to my days. Once I start getting my regular paychecks again I think all will be right in my world at least for a while

Bro the shit is scary... it's ALL on line.. everything about the class... assignments, papers, everything... all they do in class is bullshit. I feel so out of place. I remember being a kid and worrying how my clothes look and how my hair looks... now I'm so worried that I missed something.. some assignment or test material...

when I was in school something I noticed is half the class is figuring the teacher out

some of the classes the teachers like to put online so if you miss a class you still get the homework and material

This is awesome man congrats to taking the plunge and I bet it is scary as hell. When I was in college I had classes with several older people some in their 40s and even 50s and the professors loved them. I guess they figured it took a lot of courage for them to come back to something so alien. They know you are going to work hard also which is a big plus because you have a plan. Most of those whipper snappers have no idea what they fuck they are going to do. Now lets talk about a fraternity but lets keep Silk out of the loop on this. Once you pledge let me know and I will come up there and we will crush some serious ass at the first frat party. Get a couple flaming dr peppers in those youngsters and it's panty dropping time! I can't wait and remember don't tell Silk!
