Doesn't he only have one more semester to go, after this one?
I'm praying the Lord will show you the right path, Rosie.
Suzi's gotta figure out if SHE can make it out there, first!
Bah! I dismiss these problems! After all, I'm ignoring the difficulties I'm going to have getting there... sigh...
That's right...that's my understanding. That's what he told me. He has one more class and three more hours of thesis to go after this semester.
He should be done by Shootmoot, barring anything unusual.
The last few weeks of every semester are usually unbearably grueling...I literally exist as a single parent. Then "usually" there is a reprieve, during break. But this past summer there was very little "break" because he's working on his thesis and this Christmas break is likely to be the same, for the same reason.
It's hard on the whole family...but it's ALMOST over!
Thanks! I need all the help I kin get. ;-)
What other universities/colleges (even a community or junior college) are there in a 50 mile radius?
Nada, really. There are the other state colleges in the system, but they're not going to pay any more than this job.
To be honest, I'm not sure I'd want to work for another school if I moved on. I do like the whole school year thing and the benefits and to an extent the atmosphere...but I could certainly make more working for a business. I was making a good third more at the last place I worked.
Just been reading the thread where the arab set himself on fire outside the WH.
There are some mighty sick posters on FR.
I like that about this place.
;-)
Yer sick, lady... Sure you're not a dwarf?
Ugh, almost time for class. I hate Mondays.
Joshua has Spanish in a couple of hours...Steve'll come home and take him.
I'm lucky... if my car ever broke down, the bus could get me around at least during the day. It must be really tough to be totally without car.
BLAST!
Missed it by just that much...
Hello Argh!
Hullo, Argh! Making your obligatory once-a-thread post or will you be joining us for tea?
I hate that we can get to the bus station! It's four miles away!
It's not so bad, really...we do school all during the day mostly anyways. I miss getting out and going to the library, the store and such. But it's not killin' us.
Heh. I also live close enough to the bookstore that I can walk there, so I have no fears of being carless. Oh, yeah, there's a grocery store nearby too, like that matters.
Thank you Jen, I just dropped in for a second. I had a chance to watch FOTR in French on one of the channels from Quebec up here in B.C. this weekend, but I forebore. See you!
The boys are going to be very proud of their Dad when he's all done! It's good for them to see, because they see that to succeed in life you need to be willing to work hard at it.
Absolutely! My dad set me that example early on... also taught me the importance of getting a good education and doing what you love. Mom worked hard too but Dad's job seemed more glamorous at the time. Of course know that I know what's involved I think Mom may have gotten the better deal after all.
But Dad has cooler hobbies.
