Oh Community (College)

Recently I ventured into the world of “Adult Degree Completion” taking 2 classes this quarter at a local community college after many years of being removed from higher education. Driving 45 minutes to class immediately after work 4 days a week is just as crazy as I always thought it would be, but I’m glad I took the plunge and started this process. I think it was during Lydia’s graduation party last spring when I realized that twice a week during the evening while she was getting a Masters degree, I was probably watching TV.

Evening classes at your area community college are probably pretty similar to what you’d expect – a mix of 19 year olds right out of high school, grandparents who are changing careers late in life and everything in between. In fact, this type of scenario would make an excellent sitcom – oh wait, NBC is already all over it…. I’m just waiting for Chevy Chase to show up in my Political Science class.
