Probably not. I do it to as a workout for the brain muscle. It does also get me out of the house one night a week.

Nice to use your brain, isn't it? ;)

I think I did well on my mid-term. At least, the in class portion. I still have to write a 4-pg paper, but that's not due for 2 weeks.

Right now, decompressing. I have a mound of laundry on the bed to fold but I'm enjoying the heat being on in the house (thanks, B, for turning the furnace on! :beer:) and the peace and quiet of the kids being asleep. Ahhhhhhh. Better than Calgon. :lol:

One night a week isn't that bad..for some reason I thought you were going like 3-4 nights a week. I hate having evening commitments during the week unless it's a date..

I took a seminar on how to deal with difficult people/customers a few years ago and that was the last class I attended..

Right now I'm surfing the net with MTV on in the background..Alarm is set mad early for a workout...I've been in my new place for almost a week and I need to hit the gym and pump some iron..

I took a summer class once, that was every day right after work until 9. That sucked and I would not do that again. I got out early tonight. Our lab tonight was to write a bubble sort method in Java. I had that from last semester so I was able to re-use most of that code. No class next week due to Columbus day. I prefer to take classes on Monday's. That way I actually get the homework done over the weekends.

Yeah, when I'm not killing brain cells drinking beers before class.:beer:
All kidding aside, generally speaking, I learn at least one thing each semester that I can apply on the job as well, so it's been a really helpful thing to do.

What's the paper on?

4 pages aint to bad. most of my paper is school averaged about 10 pages and i could bang that out in like 3 or 4 hours. i was really blessed to be able to read something and then be able expand on it. 90% of what you have to write in most papers is just to show the prof. that you understand the material. the ohter 10% is personal opinion.

Right now I'm watching CSI Miami and still trying to get the motivation up to head down into the basement and get on the excercise equipment :rolleyes: Although watching my wife do some funky stretching excerises for her back on a glorified medicine ball like she currently is is alot more appealing then the treadmill right now ;)

It's a Contemporary Irish Lit class so the topics from which we can choose have to do with the novels we've read: women's roles in a patriarchal society; family values/interaction; and I forgot the 3rd option. I haven't decided which I will do yet.

4 pages aint to bad. most of my paper is school averaged about 10 pages and i could bang that out in like 3 or 4 hours. i was really blessed to be able to read something and then be able expand on it. 90% of what you have to write in most papers is just to show the prof. that you understand the material. the ohter 10% is personal opinion.
4 pgs is a cake walk. For my other class (which has a paper due every 3 weeks) I've been turning out 6-8 pg papers without any effort. And generally in very little time. I have a tendency to work best under pressure so I used to wait until the night before or day that a paper was due to write them. I can't procrastinate that much anymore with the kids, but they do apply some pressure. :lol: We were advised that she didn't want more than 5 pgs for the take-home exam so I'll have to be careful about what I write. But the actual paper is 8-10 pages, and the 1st draft isn't due until November 3rd so I still have time.

Right now... catching up on a few things online. Then I need to get my butt to the grocery store. Low on supplies and I need to stock up for our camping trip, too. Then I have some reading to do for my other class.

I think they spent $200mil refurbing it. Then they had to dredge a path to get it to it's dock.
