BYU-Idaho is starting a trial run of their BUS Program. No, it is not a bus route paid for by the University. It is however their Bachelors of University Studies, which is alot like the BGS(Bachelor of General Studies) for BYU. Which mean that I will be able to go back to school and get my degree!!
BYU used to offer the BGS to students who had attened BYU-I, but as soon as I found out about it, they discontinued that part of the BGS. I have been waiting for BYU-I to get something like this started, and have been checking the Universities webpage often. Mom Wierschke is in BYU's BGS program, and we were talking about it one day, and I decided to check BYU-Idahos Continuing Education webpage just for kicks.
There it was the BUS Program in its infancy!! They are only doing a pilot program right now, so I called and got my name on the waiting list, and the director told me that I might not ba able to get in for the fall. They had already sent out their invitations to the select few(35) who get to test the program, I was still hopefully.
About a month passed and yesterday I got an email that said, "We would like to invite you to apply for the Fall 2008 pilot cohort in the BYU-Idaho online degree program." I just about died, I am so excited!! I am actually going to be able to finish my degree, eventhough it is such a general degree.
I have always felt stupid cause I didn't get my degree and it seemed that a lot of other women had it before they had kids. I have always regreted not finishing, although I have never regreted what I did instead by marrying Jon. I have always said that I would go back, I just never knew when. Now here is my chance!!

YAY! I am happy for you! I think I might have to do that as well! Congrats on getting in. Dont feel stupid for not getting your degree. Something happens when you get married your priorities change a little.
Congratulations! That's so exciting! I'm completely jealous. And I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I feel a little dumb too. Other friends have been married a few years and graduated and I have been a stay at home mom not exactly working on my education, at least not formally! But we all do the things that are right for us in the right time! I'm so glad you're getting this second chance!
