I'm taking an on-line course on Health and Wellness at a local college and it is really taking a bite out of my daily routine. I graduated university in 1980 and had forgotten how much time it takes to read course material and do homework. I'm not sure I like it. I can't imagine being at school full time if one course is taking up about 20 hours of weekly daylight! My textbook cost $141. I would expect a Gutenberg Bible for that amount of dough but no. It's about the size of a coffee-table book but paperback which means its unwieldy and can only be read sitting at a table or desk.
I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest person in the class going by the introductions and comments. It is interesting and I'm learning and confirming knowledge about health. If I continue with this study, I will get a certificate in Nutrition Management.
I've been doing ok diet-wise. I need to get out more and walk but it's about -20 here for the last few days. I'm hibernating.
Your textbook was a bargain!! I bought one for Kendal for a course she is taking and it was just shy of $200!!! For a 4 month course. And when she tries to sell it next year I'm sure they will have put out a "new edition" so that it will be considered outdated. They should be renting textbooks like this -- the sales price as a downpayment that you get back unless it is damaged...minus the rent of course! Good luck with your studies and getting back into the groove.
