Reality Sets In

Tomorrow is HTML D-Day. Wish me luck and pray really hard since I still have no idea what I'm doing! Added to the reality of having to do something totally out of my league tomorrow, I received a lovely e-mail from MU Direct this evening. After welcoming me to the program, it launched into this depressing paragraph about how proud I should be for continuing my education, how they realize this is a trying time for me, and how as an ADULT LEARNER I have special needs! I was momentarily confused for a moment, "Adult Learner? Special needs?" and then I had a rare moment of clarity, "Holy crap, I'm the Adult Learner with special needs!!!!!" I'm finding it a little disconcerting that I'm now classified as an adult learner, that apparently being an adult learner means that I am now also classified as special needs, and that I really don't feel much older than I did my first go-round in college! When I read it to my mom, she cracked up and said, "Welcome to my world!"
