Typical example of college writing I see

[Ms. Toad]

34. Overwhelmed probably isn't the only thing -

But out of the 6 semesters I've been back in school, this is by far the worst.

I'm lucky that I get two courses a semester for free for credit as part of my retirement. But most states have some sort of senior education which allows people 60-ish or older to audit courses for free. Not a lot of folks take advantage of it - but it is a lot of fun!

I retired 3 years ago - and have always said that I'd be a perpetual student if someone would pay me to be one. They aren't paying me - but the tuition and course fees are free. My life has always been lived fully in the present, but because of how fully I live in the present (I've never worked less than 60 hours a week, and more often 80), there are all of these other things I've been tucking away for when I had time. Now I have time.
