Getting back into the saddle of leaning and riding off into the academic sunset

Good afternoon. As most of you may no I've had a bit of a checkered academic past. I sort of have a slight tendency to suck at things and then drop out. I can forgive me for it, can you? Well I've decided to get back in the saddle again because when you fall down you can only lay there weeping for so long until your muscles atrophy and you are forced to get back on that horse and ride. And ride i shall. I am giving it the old community college try. I am enrolled in not one but 2 classes! Please hold applause untill the end. And believe it or not I started out with 2 more classes but one was cancled on me and the other.... well, the other was Arabic and the instructor was a little too quirky for me. The first hour of class was spent fiddling with the projector and then coming up with a lesson plan. He finally launched right into the alphabet which to me, felt backwards. knowing maybe 3 words in Arabic left very little for those pretty lines to stick to so they just sort of fell out. And then half way through the instructor says 'who would like to get me some orange juice?' The room fell silent. At that moment I remembered the hidden jewel that is the language tape so I decided to go that route and save my money. So the 2 classes I am left with are religions of the middle east, which has a required text so you know it's serious, and creative nonfiction which is just fantastic. So there ya go. It's not yale but it's pretty damn close.
