The information from WSU showed up yesterday. The cover letter urged that I make an appointment with one of their advisors, so I did. This Friday, July 2nd, I'm going in. With any luck, I'll have a copy of my transcripts from PCC to bring with me.
I spent an hour yesterday trying to track my unofficial transcripts down through the Portland Community College web site. I can get the official ones--and have same day service--by paying $30 and going to one of the campuses. I can't get the unofficial ones because I don't remember my log-in information for the PCC site. Nor can I find someone alive to talk to about getting my log-in information. I got lost in a multi-tiered phone tree that never gave me the option to talk to someone.
Awesome.
Tomorrow, I'll try going to the Sylvania campus and seeing what I can dredge up. Meanwhile, I'll look through my files. Niggling away at my mind is a memory of printing out a copy of my unofficial transcripts "just in case" soon after I graduated from PCC.
I hope one of these approaches works.
Middle-aged woman goes back to finish her degree and, eventually, get her masters. Hilarity ensues.

Hoorah!
Had a fruitful meeting with my broker yesterday. Looks like I'll be able to go to school with a minimum of having to generate more income.
Now to get the application process going. And trying to figure out how to do something freelance to add to my bottom line. I should take stock of what I could write articles about and do that. It'd be interesting, a way to learn new things, and can be done in my pajamas. All very bonus-y.

The (Boring) First Post
Hello. I'm Glynis. I've been unemployed for almost three years. In this crappy economy, and living in a place where the unemployment rate hovers around 10%, it's time to go back to school. What makes it fun is that I'm in my mid-40s and got my associates' degree in 2005.
It's been an interesting few years, but have finally decided what I want to be when I grow up; a librarian. Before there is any librarian-ing, there's a bachelors' degree to be granted. I'm hoping to be able to get my degree in anthropology before going on to my masters in library and information sciences.
Here is where I'll document the process from the beginning.
Tomorrow afternoon, I meet with my financial advisor.
