    So you're not pregnant, after all?

    Glad to have you back. A lot has changed in education since you were last in the classroom, but in my experience, "nontraditional" students, such as yourself, usually outperform their younger peers. You have to post your first report card here so we can all see how you're doing.

    I'm sure you'll do great...

    Terry...it's great to have you back. You have been missed! I've missed your pictures most of all!!!

    Regarding school...I definitely can relate. Coming back to graduate school after 14 years out of school was a transition. I've not been overly pleased with the experience to date...but that's more a function of the school and the way certain people run things...not so much the education and classes themselves. The biggest problem I find is that it is much harder now to find the time to do homework...with a wife and kids...family and household demands, etc. Good luck to you! Going for the degree that fits with your interests is definitely the way to go!!
