Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think they do, although I'm not sure how full services are over the summer session. I'll check on that.

Clearly your future career should be Professional Bad Ass.

Our wings are not tired.

Professional student would have worked for me. Not helpful! I found every class and subject interesting and would happily have completed multiple programs. They did at some point give me a very long involved test that ranked a large number of professions as to whether I would fit. (education people would know what this test was) It wasn't a test of being good at math, but whether you had the personality that was similar to successful mathematicians. (no, me not mathy)

There was only one that was in the top category and bunches in the next one down. Of all things it was R&D manager. Many years later I ended up being the interface between end users and programers because I could talk to both. It wasn't far off.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Maybe look at what the class requirements are for different majors? That's how I landed on the major I eventually graduated under - which classes sounded most interesting.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Epic and le nubian have good advice. I'd say go with what you love, but that is probably not the most practical of answers.

Drew, I'm so sorry. It sucks for you to be losing any time on your trip.

That's one of the things I'm doing to think about it - going through the majors at the colleges I might transfer to and looking at the required classes.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

New back problems kept my internet time to a minimum. Extreme pain triggered by lying down or sitting with back supported. Started Friday night. Got one to two hours sleep a night From Friday night to Monday night. Urgent care prescribed high dose ibuprofin, which was useless.

My primary care finally had opening Tue. The doctor with an opening prescribed muscle relaxant and some sort of non-nsaid anti-inflammatory. Was finally able to get to sleep in a chair, as long as I used cushion to make sure only my lower back was supported and nothing touched upper back or neck or head. Good thing: that long with that little sleep was sending my blood sugar up. My doctor commented "your blood pressure is way up an your heart is racing. You are in pain, man." My response is "I thought my describing my pain level as 9.5 conveyed that."

The wisdom of Allie Brosh again:

Sorry you're going through this, Typo. And sorry that the medical establishment isn't a little better at responding to 9.5 (Seriously? IBU? For 9.5? Seriously?) Really hope things are moving in a positive direction from here.

The medical establishment is notorious for dismissing pain until they have empirical proof.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's one of the things I'm doing to think about it - going through the majors at the colleges I might transfer to and looking at the required classes.

This is a really good idea. (I really have no good suggestions about majors. Maybe think about engineering? There's creativity and design and problem-solving in that, and good money once you graduate.)

Not flying through ORD -- does not compute. I thought it was a law that every flight has to go through Chicago O'Hare, Atlanta, Dallas, or Denver.

For me, every flight goes through Philadelphia, Detroit, or Washington National, because those are the only three places that flights from my tiny local airport go.
