Wife will be released from quarantine in 3 hours and will start a week and half vacation, not that there is anywhere to go.  just relax, read, exercise, eat, drink, watch movies at home

Heeellllllll yeah! Good for you!  ;D

Appropo of nothing - I start a new chapter in my life next month.
I’m starting  classes for a 2 yr RN program.
The goal is to eventually slide into a bridge program for my bachelors and then on to a masters and NP.
Right now I’m stressing over having to take a math class.
But we all gotta start somewhere right?

Def have to start somewhere, at 33 I got sober and started the process of going from high school diploma to attorney. Now at 40 I'm a licensed attorney, I was much more mature and ready to take school seriously and give it the work and attention it required. Sometimes I felt old but mostly just considered myself a late bloomer. Best wishes on this new endeavor!!

And don't stress too much I found showing up everyday and asking lots of questions and for help allowed me to get through the hard parts.

Thanks guys!
I’m excited and scared and all of the usual emotions but mostly I’m hopeful.

That’s cool.. as somebody that was always good at math in school, I would stress as well. Financial math is fine but solving equations is another story. Last time I got stuck trying to model something and needed to rearrange my formulas, I had to take it to an intern.  Maybe I will do some online refresher courses

I don't know how high level it goes but Khan Academy has helped me with math stuff in the past.
