Services for Nontrads.

I have been looking further into some of the services and opportunities that are provided to Weber State's nontraditional students...Did you know that there is an actual nontraditional student center?
"The Nontraditional Student Center has a lounge, kitchen, computer lab, study area, and Hourly Childcare Center to help meet the needs of students who are over 25, married/ divorced/widowed, have legal dependents or disabled or a veteran. The center provides free hot drinks daily. Peer mentors are available to help navigate the campus. The mentors plan free events for students to help make the most of their educational experiences at WSU while still balancing family, home, and work."
Is this not awesome? The thing I find the most beneficial is the child-care services that are provided. For three dollars an hour, you can know that your child is safe and well cared for while you attend work, class, or other obligations.

Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday was on Thursday, February 25, and how did I spend it you ask? Well, I went to work at 5:00 a.m., came home, ate, finished a couple little homework things, and went to school. Oh the life. I actually had to go to this class too. I guess that's part of being a nontraditional student, sometimes you have to sacrifice. My son, Dallin, gave me a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle T-shirt for my birthday. It was so fun to watch him watch me open the shirt. He got so excited and wants to get one just like it so we can be twins. My wife surprised me with Jazz tickets and so we got to go to the game on Saturday night. They won which was good.

That has been my exciting life this past week. I know this post really doesn't have much to do with being a nontraditional student, but my life is nontraditional. Have a great day!
