What’s with the name of this blog?

For those of you not familiar with this fine film, I suggest you netflix it as soon as possible. In a nutshell, Rita is a frustrated hairdresser, unhappy with her unfulfilled life and starts attending college classes. Rather, she starts attending university because Rita is British and they speak classier than Americans.

She is met with judgment and resistance from her working class family and friends. I used this film as a comparison to my own late in life collegiate experience.

Back To School

Like most facets of my life, I’m a little late in starting this project. I would like to use this blog to chronicle my experience as a degree seeking college student in my late 30’s. Unfortunately, I’ve been taking classes for about a year and a half so I’ve missed the boat on the day to day chronicles, but seeing as my graduation date is several years away, there should be plenty of details left.
