I got. 94 on my mid-term :beer:
Congrats! Got my grade back tonight, too, for this class's midterm: 95. :D I also had an email waiting for me when I got back from class saying she saw the topic of my draft paper and is looking forward to reading it. :D

Right now... paying bills and then I need to do some reading.

6 this semester; 6 more anticipated in the spring. I can't wait for the month off. I'm going to ski as much as possible during that break! :D Aside from winter break, I have to take classes year-round in order to graduate in May 2011 like I'm planning. Painfully slow when you can only take 2 classes at a time.

Next semester looks to be the Science of Linguistics and Restoration & 18th Century Literature.

All this talk of school....gives me the shivers. I stopped liking school in 5th grade. Irony: I ended up going to college for four years, then went back for my MBA. I'll be 32 in about a month and I STILL have the occational "school test" nightmare. It's disturbing since I've been out of school for about 3.5 years now.

Anyways, I'm at work..... I just took dump then grabbed a cup of coffee. Thought I was going to get "first chair" with the crapper, but the seat was warm. :roll:

:lol:

I'm 31 and just went back to school AGAIN. Went part-time after high school while I worked, so it took me until 1999 to get my Associates. Took a break because I had a good job with the City and was told a degree wouldn't make a difference in my pay. But I went back in 2004 and started working on my B.A. 4 classes in, I withdrew due to some family situations...and didn't get back again until this semester. I have 14 classes to go to get my degree and realized that I will likely still be paying student loans when my children are college students. :eek: Scary thought!

But we do what we must do...

Right now, kids are eating breakfast, I'm catching up on a few things. I have a lot of reading to do today so I likely won't be leaving the house.

I finished undergrad in 99...and got a job right away. I was pretty sure I was "done". But the company I work for offered a good tuition reimbursement program. It paid for like 90% of my degree. I had to take advantage of that. It was "fun" going to school while buying a house, getting engaged and getting married! :???:
