Aww shucks, thanks for the congratulations. It means a lot.
My major was fairly far from anything involving number crunching - Psychology. I did it because I liked it. I still like it. I always imagined myself as a psychologist. My grades weren't up to snuff for grad school, IMHO, and my thesis left me with a sour taste in my mouth regarding research. So, yeah. I have to try to spin it all positively, though, so I don't come off as a slacker. All these nursing schools I'm applying to require an interview and I'm sure that's one of the first things they're going to ask me about.
I majored in...mmm... not going? Oh, I'm sorry, but that cracked me the hell up. *grin*. You worked 40 hours while taking a full course load? It's admirable, but too bad it fell through. You could go the part-time route. My uncle did that (he had a family and full-time work too). Took him, like, six years to get his degree (I'm fairly certain he took courses every other semester) but he got it. The paper is helpful, yes, but if you can make due without it then, you know.
Project Happy is this Saturday camp my school runs. It basically gives physical and mentally handicapped individuals in the area a place to enjoy themselves with various activities like swimming, dance class, arts and crafts. I run the bowling alley there with another woman. I like it, although some of the participants can be a handful. But, you know...if I can get paid more with the tax people it would seem the logical choice.
Is there a romance a-brewin' with Yale guy? Heh heh, NO. He's just interesting company. I'm hung up on the whole "monogamy" thing. You know how it goes.
