First post!

This blog has been created to practice writing skills.  There are specific rules that I need to work on, the first of which is to avoid using "I"!  This may prove to be difficult for me.  I often write in the first person in my primary blog.  

Today has been a bit overwhelming.  As my first attempt at schooling in many years, there is a LOT to absorb.  There are pages upon pages of text to read, as well as homework to do.  It is rather exciting!  Stressful, yes, but exciting nonetheless!  My family is excited as well, but that is mixed with a bit of worry.  They will certainly be supportive, though the little ones do love to talk and forget that some people are working.  We have had so many changes over the last few years, but we really needed some positive changes.  This new path will help them eventually.  And perhaps they will develop better study habits themselves.  Not to mention all of the reasons that this is good for me!
