good for you RF.
I finished my associates in May. I will probably take am taking this semester off and then in January start taking some more classes to finish a transfer associates so I can complete a bachelors. But taking my sweet time now. No more 18 credit semesters for me.
One thing...since you took those classes 5 years ago, double check the degree requirements...some colleges/universities require that all the degree requirements be met within a certain time frame or you are required to take them again. (not to rain on your parade ... I am proud of you...I just dont want you caught off guard when it comes graduation time and the enrollment center says, "ummmm, sorry RF, but these classes are from too long ago, you'll need to retake them". ) Other thing, in certain degree programs the degree requirements themselves change over time. Most institutions allow you to continue on the program that was current at the time you started, others require you to meet current degree requirements.
Since you are not starting until January you have time to check all that out if you havent already done so.
