I start tonight. Class is called "Writing for Magazines." This is not necessarily something I aspire to do, BUT I have been wanting to take some sort of writing class to help me decide if indeed I might have some talent in writing. I was going to take a class at the local University, but the technical college offers similar classes at WAY less cost per hour. Actually us "seniors" get in almost free!!! Hopefully this will keep me somewhat occupied as I'm going a bit stir crazy not having a structured schedule to follow any more.
I went back to school years ago to take some classes at the University. I was terrified, almost to the turn of a panic attack, that I was going to be the oldest one in class, and look like a dinosaur. Turned out I was NOT the oldest one in the class, and the students treated me more as an equal. I was going to work on a Master's degree, but the courses were limited to the times I was working, and I could not fit them in to my schedule. At the time writing was NOT what I was working towards, nor is it now. Now that I'm not working, that Master's might become more of a reality.
Whatever transpires, there's always room for more learning.
