I can relate, Bella. I returned to college as a "Non Traditional" student and during part of my time there was pregnant w/ daughter #2. (try fitting in those stupid desks when 9 mos. pregnant!) Verrrrry different going back as an adult - but I really do believe you appreciate it much more. Definitely took guts from Mr.L - you're right! Inspirational though, huh? What are you studying? -- Derek's Place

[> Subject: I finished my degree a couple of years ago, too, but I did my classes online through the university. I loved it -- no commute, no listening to lectures (I learn better by reading than by listening). Most of the online students were adults, so it was nice for comaraderie, also. Good luck on finals!
