DH is college student

He is officially a college student 12 years after graduating the first time. Hes been talking about going back for years and finally made the jump and signed up for classes starting in January! Im so excited for him. Its only a certificate program so its not a 4 year process all over again. But he will be in classes Monday-Wednesday from 5-8:50 for 5 months for the spring session then again for fall session then hes done! One of his classes is all the way down in Georgetown so he wont be getting home until almost 10pm on Tuesday nights.

Which sucks, but I think we can all really benefit from this because:

1. I wont have to cook every night. yay for salads and cereal for dinner!!  

2. The nights I do, I can cook healthier meals that he wouldnt eat normally.

3. This eliminates the desire to have a couple glasses of wine or beers in his case, while Im cooking dinner and hopefully help us both lose some weight.

4. Give him back some confidence that I think he is lacking because hes unhappy with his job.

So it might be a bit of a rocky 5 months.Thankfully DH and DS both have spring break the same week which so we are going to the Gulf Coast of Florida for a week of R&R which I think we will all need by that point.

  • Congrats to him!  What's the program?  I remember driving to Wilmington for classes and it's not as bad as it might seem.  Would he be interested in audio books? I always felt like that helps my drive go by faster.

    Hes getting his paralegal certificate. He has a 4 year degree in Crime Law and Justice, but all the law firms want a certificate on top of that. Hes more of a sport talk radio junkie than anything. It drives me insane on long drives, but he never seems to mind. Its just getting home so late that will bother him.
  • Awesome!!! I did the same thing and it was rough at times but totally worth it. I loved my classes for my certificate much more than I enjoyed my college classes and the pay increase is great ;) good luck to him!!! If he needs any help which anything, let me know. Which school is he going through?

    Hes going through Del Tech. If you could keep your eye out for any open paralegal positions in the area up there that would be super great! Thanks!
  • YAY for all of this! i'm sure he'll do great
  • Congrats to him for going back!! Hopefully it'll go by quick. Yay for the healthy eating and vacation.

     

  • That's awesome!
  • Yay good for him!
