Back To School
It's finally official, I'm a college student. It's been a long long time and I admit I'm a bit nervous... I'll have to dust the cobwebs off of much of my knowledge, hoping that what little I took from High School is still there. Somewhere.
Either way, I registered for my first class today; I'll begin with a Macroeconomics course on my way to an Associates. Of course I think this is perfect timing... you know, who wants to go to college right out of high school? Much better to bide your time, wait till you've got a wife and half a kid to support and THEN start school. ;-) No doubt we'll be fine, but wish me luck anyway. I'll be starting part-time online courses with Thomas Edison State College when the 12 week term begins on September 24th.

In related news, stock prices for Columbia Sportswear (COLM) have soared on news of a recent single order of heavy winter coats tallied in the billions. Original opinion was that this was a gross clerical error or an odd prank, possibly even an insider trading scheme; however it has been confirmed that the order is real. Speculation still abounds as to who needs this many coats, and shipping instructions for the order are fairly vague saying only "Send them down, way way down."
:-p

Brett - you crack me up and I love, Love your blog. If I want to be entertained, I know that I just need to go to your blog! Keep it up and good luck in school.
Why oh why would you start out with Macroecon? Did you want to hate school right from take off?! (as you can tell econ was not my favorite class in college---try a little under water basket weaving it is very relaxing)
If Hell froze over we are bound to see a lot of good things happen! :) That makes me very excited!!
Good luck in school!
Good luck, friend!!!! I am so SO excited for you. You're going to be awesome - you're a natural student!
I love and miss you both terribly!
The fact that I have a LOT to learn does not necessarily make me a "natural student"... but I appreciate the thought anyway.
;-)
I'm proud of you for going "back" to school! I'm living proof that you're never to old to learn...try being a 35 year old widow with 5 kids to feed and starting back to get a college degree - oh, and in the middle of that, marry a man with 5 more kids and still be able to finish that degree. I could not have done it without their support. E&A will be there for you, too.
Haha I like the frozen sign! That's awesome that you're going back to school. I love being in school! I don't think there's ever a "right time" to go back. You can always find reasons not to do it, but sometimes you just have to do it anyway :)
Congrats on school, we hadn't heard. Macroeconomics - I know a good looking professor who LOVES talking economics and would LOVE having you call whenever with questions. His brothers have called in the past having him clarify something, he is a FABULOUS teacher and makes things a lot clearer than some professors (I know I am biased but I have had others say the same thing, you will have to try out his brain yourself). I can't wait to hear more about school!
where did the sign come from??
I loved hearing about school when I was out there and I'm sure happy you've made such a "goal". Hope it's not as hard as it's been for me - I wish you the best and will keep you in my prayers.
haha yeah i know what you mean about being a new collage student after being out of shchool for so long! i too am a collage student again... i just wrote a blog... yeah for that! i am starting to get the hang of this.. i think.
