Congrats!!! Are you going school F/T? I do like my classmates and school is great but its always nice to have a group of people who have been through the school of hard knocks :)

Ha! Yes I graduated hard knocks cum laude!

I am going full time! I actually went to a theater program in London straight out of high school and realized that was a mistake so I am back in the US starting a fresh, wanted to do an accelerated program but they didn't wouldn't take my degree because it's foreign. I am excited about the career but definitely nervous about being behind and possibly 7 years older than everyone! Are there older ones in your class? How do you like the program?

Thanks!

I'm definitely older. Just turned 34. And there are older students. A few mid-late to mid thirties. There's always at least a handful 'real adults' in the program so it made me feel better. I wanted to do accelerated too but I also need to work so this program definitely works for me. If you need any help with campus stuff, lemme know.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I am going to orientation and such and shall see how it all plays out. Do you have enough time to work while in the program? I wanted to work but dont think I can because I got stuck with a totally sporadic schedule. I am going see what I can make work! Thanks again!
