    You missed your first day?? That's too bad! What courses are you taking, Papaya?

    School's good so far. I have a pretty heavy semester, but I'm going to aim for dean's list so I have a snowflake's chance in hell at having grades good enough for vet school.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    vet school? Thats pretty cool. I thought about being a vet once but it went the way of being a Dr. when I realized I couldn't handle the site of blood..

    I'm only taking two classes, Spanish 101 and Intro to fiction (reading not writing)

    hahaha, this time it was the CEO and Board of Directors. They won't be back anytime soon so I won't have to worry about them holding me up again.

    So ? all you have to do is eloquently describe why you hate the book so much!

    So you dont have to switch to working part time? Just going to juggle then?

    Thats how I got to go to Prague anyway!

    I'm going back to school after being out for 4 years. I start in a couple of weeks and I'm super nervous. I'm taking 3 science classes. This semester is going to be crazy but hopefully I'll make it through ok.

    To Papaya and all> Good luck, have fun and don't forget to give a KitKat or two to your teachers every now and then!

    Papaya> Since I am in "serious" education (since September) too, we can be study buddies!

    No, going back to school is just something I'm doing on the side, work comes first.

    And I'm envious of your artsy fartsy classes. I'm taking Chem, microbio, and Anatomy & Phys. I like science ok, but I'd prefer it in smaller doses.

    Not in vet school yet, I'm still working on my undergrad degree, in animal Biology.

    Yeah, I think everyone goes through that phase at some point in their life. I just didn't grow out of it lol

    Intro to fiction eh? Is the reading list any good?

    your courseload sounds something like mine.

    I'm taking into Biochemistry, Into Cell Biology, Intro Genetics, Structure and Anatomy of Farm animals, and Philosophy (Ethics- because I couldn't get into medical ethics)
