Majoring in Divorce with a concentration in soon to be XH has stage IIIB cancer.
Minoring in job searching, with advanced work in passing a drug test after medicinal marijuana use. Should’ve chose the family tradition of functional alcoholism instead!
Looks like I’ll be going for a graduate degree in Sandwich generation, with side work in blended families!

Luckily I really love my advisor though the shedding is terrible... he’s (a) German (Shepherd).

Majoring in "Crashing hard into glass ceiling while male colleagues throw rocks at you" and minoring in "Toddler Health Issues, pre- and post-op preparation".

For reasons I can no longer remember, I also decided on a couple of certificate programs:
- "Spouse with medical issues who also works and travels too much"
- "Perpetual mom-guilt"

Thinking of switching majors, but right now I only have the pre-reqs for "Resentful career drop-out"

I just added a new major which I start next week: tax preparation

Sorry for everyone else who is going through a tough time.

Makes me realize how much easier the course load is these days, but still:

Major: Need to keep this job 5 more years (I'm 65) but not sure how long this school will maintain accreditation

Minor: the house still needs work to be reasonably marketable when I need to downsize but have to be careful about spending and discovered that DIY no longer interests me in the slightest

Audit seminar: niece with epilepsy, brother with TBI, losses--both the unsurprising and the absolutely blind-siding--of old friends (family passings peaked for a stretch but in a trough right now)

Perpetual incomplete: tax prep for my self-employed DS (he pays me for this) to pass on to the tax lady who is always overextended and always doing extensions/amendments but has done all our family's taxes forever and inertia is always my first choice. I keep getting the deadline extended.

Majoring in my 3 year old is driving me crazy and convincing my husband to move somewhere different. Minoring in what the hell to do with my disabled mom who willingly lives in a house with a million stairs. Sigh.
