welp, I'm trying to get back into college...

I flaked out on my ASU classes in the Spring, kinda had a nervous breakdown after the whole spouse trying to kill me thing... hopefully they will let me back in.
Got an advisor appt tomorrow am.

I currently owe them $4K or so for flaking, I guess I will have to re-take the classes I failed and get back in good graces before financial aid will kick back in. But al least I can try to get SOMETHING working ...!

Went back in my 40s and got all a 3.84 GPA.

All l did different was, sit in the front row and never miss a class.

I worked in one for almost a decade, and my hubby actually went to ASU!

You got this.
