Back To School

There I was still fresh from my ordeal with the backing up sewage when wifey suddenly turns to me and says,

'Honey, I've been thinking about studying again.'

I stop spraying perfume on my arms to mask the smell of sewage (yes, the smell of sewage is still lingering around me) and look at her with this puzzled look.

'You want to study again? Good God, why?' I ask her.

She looks at me with an annoyed look and says that it's been lingering at the back of her mind to continue studying. After all, the moment she finished her secondary school she did go out into the working world right away and then marriage and kids came into the picture which put her dreams of studying again on the back burner.

Let me get one thing straight, I don't think I could ever go back to studying but I'm always supportive of what she wants to do. But then she's worried about the boys and who would look after them if she goes back to studying. After all, I'm not always home during office hours.

She has a point there. Though the boys can take care of themselves but we're always skeptical with them being on their own. After all, boys will be boys and for my younger boy, getting into mischief is his specialty :D Then there is the financial issue. We're not exactly rich people and going back to school can be a costly affair.

But I don't want to curb her dreams so I suppose the is a way she can achieve this by doing some distance learning and looking for an online university. I know a few friends of mine who enrolled for distance learning courses and it worked out just fine for them. That way she can study from home and look after the boys as well which would put both our minds at ease.

There are many online universities out there and Western Governors University is a pretty good one. It’s non-profit and more affordable than other online universities. It’s also a fully accredited online education institution. What's better is that I heard they have a pretty cool online nursing degree which sounds good cos then wifey can put on a nursing outfit and administer some 'nursing' to me ... LOL!

But jokes aside, if she really wants to study again, I'll be behind her all the way. As for me, I swore on the last day when I finally finished school that I would NEVER be saddled with homework again and I'm going to keep it that way!
