OMG! She Back In School! Finally!
I am going to school. Finally. I will be keeping track of what classes I am taking and how I am doing in each. I hope that by doing this, I will be able to keep track of myself, help my friends and family know how I am doing and to help people who may be looking for a career in OT find out what they may have to do.
I will be attending Owens State Community College in Toledo, Ohio. For those who may be interested in what the college has to offer, please go to Owens Community College

Summer Semester 2008
The Beginning Courses
I am started off nice and slow so I wouldn't burn myself out before I even get started. I took only 2 classes to begin this journey. After a few days I was really comfortable with being back in school and wished I would have taken an additional course.
I have posted the weekly summary on my Summer 2008 lens. Thank you!
