Introduction/practice entry

       At age 42,I decided I needed to start my life over. So, 21 years after dropping out of college and working in the "real" world, I went back to school. Quit my job,shortsold my house, and started renting a room from a friend. This is my second semester back, last semester was difficult getting my brain working at the capacity I need to learn. .
       Right now I am thinking about earning a nursing degree but am not completely decided.  I have some time to decide while getting through prerequisites. There's a lot to choose from in the medical field right now.
       Being a "starving student" has really cut into my hobbies and social activities, but I know it will be worth it in the long run. So I don't have much time or money, I still do what is most important and rewarding to me. That would be staying in shape by training in Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu(a ground based martial art) and I also help teach the kids classes where I train. For me,staying in good shape is mandatory. And as far as helping teach the kids, I'm old enough to know that life goes by really quick, you have to make an effort to do something good and important while you have a chance.  
I'm in the back, yes I'm not much taller than some of them even though they are 12 and under... hey stop laughing :)
