Looks like I'll be working on my application for the local MLS program this month. Deadline for the spring semester is October 1, and I'd like to get it to them by Labor Day.
Eeek!
Company will reimburse up to $5K/year, which is just over two classes, but since I'd like to finish the degree in four years (three classes/year), I'll be paying for some of this myself. At least I can save up the $2300 for the first class by the end of the year.

I've never really understood why friends don't set each other up more, but at least here it doesn't seem to happen much. I don't do it, so why would I expect my friends too?
You do realize that you do (or did, maybe) this indirectly a lot? Through parties, scavenger hunts, etc. I know I got more than one date that way. And I met one of my best boyfriends ever because of you. (Not to mention finding Table Talk.)
Otherwise, I agree with all this:
I would love to find a partner, but I don't want to devote any time to it, so it is unlikely to happen. I've never really understood why friends don't set each other up more, but at least here it doesn't seem to happen much. I don't do it, so why would I expect my friends too?
The other way I often think about it is, I really don't like a lot of people. I don't make friends that easily and I am regularly appalled at peoples' behavior. So, it's clear to me I don't want most people. Like Scrappy said, I want just the one person and the trick is probably going to be not be shut off to the opportunity when it is presented.

Hive mind: If I was looking for a Transformer onesie for an impending great-nephew, where would I look?
On the relationship stuff, I just read an article about the guy who shot up the aerobics class in Philly. He was angry cause he couldn't get a date and hadn't had sex in several years.
I could be that guy, except for being a woman and not blaming all men for the fact that I don't date and haven't had sex in a long time.
And I too, agree with all this:
