update: school

I mentioned in a December post that I was thinking of going back to school come September, and my plan had been to see if I could gradually finish my fourth year of an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. Now that particular plan is going to be put on hold seeing that I'll be moving because I think transportation would be too much of an issue given that I don't drive. But another option has recently occurred to me that I'm seriously considering. My local community college offers a multidisciplinary certificate in Gerontology, which I can very conveniently take on-line. Ah the beauty of the Internet! Again I would be doing it one course at a time, and the courses themselves look quite interesting (e.g. Mental Health Aspects of Aging, Legal and Ethical Issues Related to Aging, Assessment and Planning). It would fit in quite nicely with both my previous education and work experience, and I figure that any schooling dealing with seniors won't be wasted given our aging population. Besides, this way yours truly can make sure the old noggin doesn't get too rusty. Snort.

That sounds like a great idea! And yes, the Internet is a beautiful thing. ;)
