So I think I need a bit of advice for this decision I am about to make, although it is as if it has already been decided! To all my peeps out there, here you go..help me in this :)
Through a very random browsing session on the internet, I encountered a few schools that offer online undergrad and grad programs for virtually everthing one would desire to pursue. I thought to myself, MMM, I wonder what Ashford University has to offer in the area of psychology? I have a love for this area, and Biological Psychology was my major, until I underwent a sever manic episode which resulted in failing out of school, and landed my ass back in Lewy town. Anyhoo, fuuun times actually, well besides the intermittent madness..in reflection of that time, it was actually scary; and for those who know me, you are familiar with the episodic madness.
I clicked on this site and entered my information, thinking nothing of it. I don't even think I was desirous at this venture to pursue the completion of my degree, however before long, I received a phone call from a counselor..holy night, I thought, it's like flies on crap..they seemed to surround me with questions, and possibilites, that seem very tempting.
Harry, is my new counselor through Ashford University, and he really wanted to enroll me in school. Basically, in his understanding, I would be able to complete my schooling in about a year, thanks to the completion of four years of college..that's pretty cool, however I would have to become savvy with the usage of internet and email, which I don' think would be a problem, and I could have my degree, which would be stellar (as you can see, I am hashing this out as I write :)
I would only take one class at a time, which would allow me to escape the state of overwhelm. The classes look really cool, and bring me to salivation, as I love to learn and increase dendritic branching. School enhances already-present intelligence, and I am all for that.
So, should I do it? I believe I will be receiving financial aid, so finances shouldn't be a problem, but there is always that tid-bit of fear...will this really work out? I would only be taking one course at a time, which would last five weeks. My only concern is if Socal blows up and we get to go on our last fire tour, which I need..for my sanity and pocketbook. Sounds pretty rad, let me know my friends!

Just ran across your post randomly, but wanted to say that anything that increases dendritic branching sounds pretty cool and not something to miss out on. :-) I've heard of Ashford and it was in a positive light, so I think you're on the right track. Good luck.
Is this Mike Mosher? Cause if it is, that would be super cool..how are you? I think I am actually going to enroll at a later time..just gettin used to Bipolar meds, lots going on-don't want to become overwhelmed. Take care.
Deidre! This is such an exciting prospect. I am always in favor of people pursuing goals like this. You have such a brilliant mind and you have already done so much work toward this degree. You deserve the diploma! And I've heard that adults who come back to school after a break are usually the best students. One class at a time is totally manageable, especially if it's online. I'm considering a distance degree for creative writing, and while it seems a little daunting, it's also exciting to think of pursuing something I'm so genuinely interested in. It seems to be the same case for you. Imagine all the insight life has given you that you can apply to your studies now. And if finances aren't a concern, then go for it, Miss Smarty McSmart Pants!
go for it!!!
I love you guys and thank you for your encouragement..i think i am not going for it right now, as the adjustment to new bp meds is a challenge, and i think it would be just too fast, however this whole process has enlightened me to the possibility and futuristic reality in this pursuit!
