Thanks!  Same congratulations to you, too!  It takes a lot of 
motivation to "go back."  And even more to finish when there is a 
child in the picture!
You may be right about the programs.  I'm not sure what the degree 
would be, maybe English?  I just want to take fun classes when I'm 
done with this.  I loved Theology, Literarture, History, Astronomy.  
Nothing I would ever make a career of, but the classes fascinate me.

My bachelor's will be in Human Resource Management.  Fortunately I 
already work in the field, so hopefully it will give me a leg up.  
I agree about the big belly thing.  I was huge by the end of the 
semester before my daughter was born.  And I was in a class with a 
bunch of 18-20 year olds who thought that I was their age and just 
got into "trouble."  It was pretty amusing.  But it wasn't easy 
sitting for 4 hours in one position!

I was brought up with the natural-transition-to-college mentality 
too, but it was more of an expectation than anything.  So I think 
it's great that you communicate with your son about it regularly.  
My parents didn't do that.  Not that I blame them... I just didn't 
know how much self-motivation it takes to get through college.  At 
least I have the learning experience to pass on....
