I graduated several years ago, and I'll be taking a proofs based math class, for "personal enrichment".

Anyone else? Bueller?

I said the same thing not too long ago...

Hopefully I won't be the old creeper in that class.

Took one grad level class many years ago; never had any desire to go back.  Even if i wanted to I just shipped my eldest off to Vanderbilt with 2 more coming behind her, so all extra funds for the next 8-10 years will be going to my kids' education, not mine.

I had a nightmare about statics about 2 weeks ago. I had a test problem that was doing shear and bending moment diagrams, and the loadings were these crazy ass fractal-like ones.

My plan for O-Chem is to do 1 and 2 during the Summer's intensive session.  Every summer I have taken a full load, but with the O-Chem I'm just going to do them alone and knock them out.  That'll finish off chem for my undergrad.  It's all of the Bio's I still have remaining, along with physics that I'm most afraid of.

In the home stretch of my Emergency Management and Planning AAS.  From there I will be moving on to a public policy program.  I will be in school for the rest of my life (by choice.)  I love learning and even if I didn't do it in school, I would still seek out other avenues of learning.  I just try to stay away from the doctrinal (read: Marxist) programs and schools.

Yea, fuck that.

Good thing is this is the last semester I'll be taking any Chem's and a Bio together (given that I do the O-Chem's alone in the summer).  

Since I transferred to my new school (due to PCS), I now have a new foreign language requirement that I didn't have before..... 2 fucking years of it.  I think I'm going to do American Sign Language rather than Spanish, French or German.
