Well, all I have returned to the college scene after being on a long leave due to a broken foot.

I am at a public college this time around because the private college didnt have to give any more help than what is the minimum from the law.

I have two education class, western civilization and a math class. This time around thing are going to go well. I am finanally taking meds for perimenopause which is really helping me, and my out look on life has changed even so before I started. Where this outlook come from and the change i have gone through I have no idea how it happened.

I think I finanally grew up.... a little late but it happened. The catepillar has finally sprung wings and she is flying.

Have had 2 pop quizzes so far , wrote an introduction paper for education and received an A- so far so good. It can only get better right?

PS I just got an enrollemnt form for one night class in Human biology. I wanted Economics or history, but they are not running at night!! HB was my 3rd choice, as I want to see if the meds can help with study/learning ..

Congrats! It is never too late to go to college. I am a Junior and I am 30 years old and there are people older than that going to my school.

thanks for the hugs and concern.

i am glad to hear you are on meds.
are they helping. I am on med but am
also in therapy. I think both work well together.
Meds dont just change how you do thinks
alone.

You are right classes are limited at night.
Can you take classes in the day or are you working?

Hugs to you and let me know how the meds are working.

Thanks all for the nice comments.
I have been so busy, and I also had a broken foot so
I was limited to the sofa or bed. That is why I was gone so long.

I am now in school and have a lot of reading,
so I am not sure how often I will be on. I hope to be on
at least once a week.

I miss the forum, but need to get good grade too.
Thanks for all the wonderful responses.

mind mapping - really good for history / social studies and ADHDers are great at making them up
