Lol we had 8 tracks.. and a little tv on top of a big tv (that didn't work) I was the remote for the TV and rabbit ears.. hahah

Ahhhh, wow! Ya have me beat, 2sons! I thought *for sure* I'd be the eldest! I will tell you all about my rat tail and baggy pants... thank the lord that I wasn't one of those guys that tucked or tightend their jeans at the ankles! Fad or not, I refused to look like that!

I feel much better knowing that I will (hopefully) have a peer/cohort! You and I can inspect each other for those... (cough)... grey hairs showing up on top of our heads! ;)

Regards,

Is the only place I applied too. I should apply to more schools. I feel dumb for not thinking right!

It will be my second degree as well. I live in west Texas and am relocating. I didn't want to take several different entrance tests and from what I remmeber a few of the junior colleges requires the HESI but I had already taken the TEAS.

Rexjackiec,

Ohhh the 80's! Best rock music evvvvvver! At least many of the young kids still seem to appreciate 80's rock because I still hear it played frequently at local bars and clubs.

Oh jeez, yeah the poofy hair! lmao

Some of the phrases of our time:

NOT!

PSYCH!

LIKE TOTALLY! and FOR SURE! (i.e. Valley Girls "speak")

Michael Jackson and break dancing were the rage. I remember girls with MJ teashirts... they idolized him!

Too funny...

Lmkea I live in west Texas too and did the exact same thing. I really didn't want to take the hesi after already taking the teas! I just wanted to get into a school with the credentials I already had! No sense in paying for a different exam!

I'm 27 and it will also be my second degree. UT Tyler was the only place I applied (because it's my only option right now) so really hope I get in. Good to know I'm not the only one going back to school in their late 20s. :)
