Actually, Mom, I'm beginning to agree with you on the major bit. Anyway, maybe a class that I am taking while completing my core will give me another idea. We'll see.

For anyone who is even remotely curious (and those of you who aren't but are reading this anyway for some odd reason : ) I must report to the band feild at 8:45 tomorrow morning. Practice starts at 9:00. Kickoff is at 4:00 in the afternoon. (read: I will be tethered to the school all day and will be incredibly lucky to be able to leave by 9:00 at night.) Sometimes band is a bit on the trying side, but it's worth it. G'night all.

I enjoy hearing about your band activities, LD, so please continue. I haven't been around much to chat lately but I do lurk and I read the entire thread every day.

As an English major (truth in advertising: I did not graduate but got 3 years towards my degree) who's two children both majored in English, I had to chuckle at the crack about English majors.

With my English studies, I became a devoted housewife (a term of which I am extremely proud!) and mother and finally got an associate degree in accounting .... and am now a janitor .... :-)

Daughter, like me, didn't graduate (but it took her 4 years to get her 3 years' worth of credit .... I got mine in 2 1/2) has been either a wife and mother or a very competent administrative assistant with quite a flair for computer applications.

Son graduated with honors in creative writing .... and has worked as a copy editor at a newspaper, as a web site designer, and as a computer guru for a company that does business nationwide.

English studies can lead to quite a diversity of 'careers' ..... :-)

Actually, it is the college experience that is most valuable .... and the college degree will open many doors.

Oh, hubby majored in math with a minor in physics ..... and spent over 25 years in management in the textile industry and has now moved up to janitor ...... LOL!

Jemian ~~~ love the pictures you posted! That koala is just tooooo cute!

At least it was other children commenting on your looks ..... my mother always told me I was the ugliest baby she ever saw and I hadn't improved much ..... *sigh*
