so, it turns out... I'm kinda smart
:shrug: who knew?

I suppose I should have, but all I ever saw was someone who couldn't (or wouldn't) complete anything.

I had a meeting with an admissions counselor to the night school here at Harvard. It turns out that I've got a year of courses under my belt, and that I've got a GPA of 3.25. (!!!!) If I continue my grades at that level (or just a smidge better) I could graduate in 3 or 4 years cum laude.

I'm kicking myself a bit because I never could figure out where I wanted my degree to take me, so I never made the effort to finish it. I think now, with all the other positive changes I've made in my life, it's time to take this on.

It's going to be some work, but I'm not foreign to that.

Just think, me... with a Harvard degree.... cum laude.


boggles the mind.

3. That's fantastic. In this one case only,
you've gotta pull a Bush and "stay the course"!!

You have your whole life ahead of you, and this is an excellent beginning. Good for you!

6. The night school at Harvard only offers one Bachelors Degree
ALB in Extension Studies

It's a Liberal Arts degree.
