OMG! I can SOOO relate. I am the oldest in all my grad classes which can be a tad annoying, especially when they ask the same questions as your classmates re: what’s the bare minimum participation, etc. Good luck. So far it’s been an interesting ride and I look forward to keeping up with you along the way.

Congrats! Way to go!

Also, “a droopy Snuggie with random words emblazoned across their poop-holes”?

LOL my arse off. Totally want to embroider that on a pillow.

Hi, I’ve been reading along for a few months now and I just have to say – dude, you are awesome. Congratulations on taking this step.

Dude, totally. I’m going back to school myself, and I always feel weird at the beginning, sitting there ready for class to start, wearing actual clothing, while the other students come wandering in looking like they literally just rolled across campus in a bag. After drinking a gallon of 151 the night before. Ah, college.

I teach sociology (and have for several years all around the Seattle area), and so I *really* hope you like your course. If you don’t, blame the prof, the students, or whatever, because sociology is one fine fine discipline, if I do say so myself.

I’d bet your prof was pleased to see you there. I (almost) always enjoy ‘adult learners,’ and am glad for the company.

Wow, it’s been probably 10 years since I was inside a classroom and back then there was no such thing as online anything. I suddenly feel ancient. Where’s my bengay?

If you can make the transition to typing notes, it’s SO. MUCH. EASIER. I always kept it on paper, because I totally felt more educational. Then I gave the laptop a try… it’s so much easier to pay attention when you’re not frantically scrambling to copy things down.

After going back to school for my master’s (four years after graduating college), I think I can say with confidence that college is wasted on the young.
