I have time for the quickest of quick posts before I dash off to write 500 words on three different topics for my Advanced Composition class.
I love school. LOVE IT! Statistics: We're doing sets. Who knew that developing databases would have useful applications in academia?
Advanced Composition: Lots and lots and lots of writing. Loving the class, fearing the work.
Psychology: Both the lab and the lecture look good so far.
Women & Work: I'm interested in the subject matter, but I wish it were less about the contemporary (which NPR has given me a good grounding in) and more about the historical. Though we are going to talk about the Triangle Shirtwaist fire on Thursday.
I don't have my communications class until Friday.
General impressions:
1. Lots of walking. I'd forgotten how much walking one does, going to and from classes.
2. COMPUTERS. Ohmigod, what a difference 16 years makes. Many of our assignments are being given to us on-line. We're e-mailing assignments in, chatting on discussion boards with our classmates.
3. As I'd already gathered from Scrivener and others, plagiarism is a big issue. BIG.
Again, to sum up, I LOVE SCHOOL. Me. I can hardly believe it.
Gotta go now, to write non-bloggy stuff. (Why is that always less fun?)

Seconding what APL said!
Awesome! So good to see that you love school.
Good luck with your classes!
Oh I'm so very very happy for you!
That is so great that you are loving what you are doing.
From a fellow Olympian.
Wow, that's fabulous. I'm so excited for you and so happy you're enjoying it all. Yay for you! :)
Yay! Very happy for you. :)
Any thoughts on what sorority you'll pledge?
Welcome Carol!
Corndog, I'm already in a great co-ed fraternity with you all: Beta Lamda Gamma.
Sounds fabulous!!!
I'm so excited for you! What does Muffin Man say about you being in school?
Woohooo!
I'm so jealous! I wanna go back to school too. But I guess I'd have to leave it first, huh?
Hooray for you!
Yay, school!
This year off has been torture for me. I ask my husband if he wants me to write his papers for him (alas, he does not), and I ALWAYS am up to edit anyone's anything at any time.
Hi Liz! Glad you are enjoying school. Every time I think about getting my Masters I remind myself just how much I hated school, so I admire anyone who would go back after being in the working world.
That is so cool that you're back in school. I am envious! :)
