School??

I applied to attend the community college here in Syracuse. My next step is to take a math placement test and then meet with an advisor. I plan to study for an associates in Human Services, specializing in Early Childhood Development. I've considered taking a 1yr early child care certificate course too just to see if it's really a path I'm definate about. I will discuss these options with my advisor. That is if I get that far. I tend to procrastinate on everything in my life. Also, I hate school! I'm more of a "hands on" learner, not a "sit in a classroom lecture and write long papers that waste everyone's time" learner. I also hate having to study things that will not be a part of my career. How is Algebra going to help me teach 3yr olds??
I'm excited and scared! I'm not fond of walking into the unknown, but it'll be nice to start feeling some accomplishment in my education.
