Yeah, amidst all this insanity I started Grad school this week too. I am taking three classes. And I LOVE school!!!!!!!!
I feel so good being back in an academic environment! My sense of self worth is significantly heightened by being in school. I love that I am being judged on my intelligence.
I love being a wife and mother but being judged solely on those roles is very limiting. Being back in school and being seen as a grad student (not just as a mother and wife) is a great boost to me ego right now.
And the main thing I love about school is that it makes sense to me. I know what my goal is and I know exactly how to reach my goal. The system doesn't change. It is always clear. And I always get rewarded for my hard work. That doesn't happen in any other part of my life.

Yay, Jen! That's wonderful for you! I know exactly what you mean and I am thrilled for you.
I fantasize about law school all the time.
I think my brain is too old and tired to deal with it now, though.
I really am eager to hear how it all goes.
after motherhood, grad school is easy. I thought it was hard when I did it, but I was 23 and childless!
good luck, the new house is lovely. Do you want your maternity clothes back now? I won't be using them again!
Hey, congrats!
I sometimes wish I could go back to school. At 38, I think I'd actually get something out of it... vs. show up only for exams, like I did back in the early 90s.
I don't think I could handle being the "old guy" in the class, tho'.
