Just For Fun
If you were able to take a college course for free, what would you take?
Some might want to take a course that would help with the present job or career, or enable a move upwards in that career.
Others may want something practical to fit their stage of life: maybe a parenting class, or a finance class, or a computer class, or one dealing with being a caregiver.
Still others may wish for a class that would address a hobby: drama, art, photography, music, gardening, etc.
Some might want a class that just sounds interesting, that picques the curiosity, such as early American Lit, or a history of Civil War battlefields, or a comparative study on comic strips.
It's just for fun, so let your imagination flow!!!Spiritual:
"You are fearfully and wonderfully made." Please... respect life.
Financial:
Debt free, hoping to stay that way!

I've thought about going back to college for my Master's, and the thing that makes me want to go back most is the opportunity to take the upper level English Lit classes that I couldn't take as an undergraduate. The classes always sounded really interesting, and typically focused on one topic, vs. the more broad curriculum of the classes I could attend. I like the idea of an entire semester devoted to one book, one play, etc.

I'm probably going to take Accounting in the Spring term. Just think it would be interesting, I have no plans of becoming an accountant.

Economics (macro and micro), Intro to Astronomy, and Anthrolinguistics were the 3 classes my college offered that I never found time to fit in my schedule. I still wouldn't mind taking them.

Too hard to just chose just one class. I'd probably chose a Spanish or Chinese class.
