I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds like a highly effective day, Connie!
That narwhal is adorable.

Please, for the love of god, make science majors take writing courses. And research& analysis skills are research& analysis skills, no matter the topic ( and if an unfamiliar topic, keeps you from using your field as a crutch.)
(Yeah, I got a physics and polisci double, but that damn art history requirement stretched my rhetoric game & certainly gave me more feminist powder.and it wasn't even a feminist oriented class.)

Flight home attempt #2. I am SO ready to be a hermit. The last two days at my dad's have been stressful. The meds thing, the lack of privacy thing, the wanting MY bed thing, missing my coworkers, my shower, my car...I am beyond cranky.

Yes.
I had to scan /read every goddamned paper published on Hubble data from 1990 until...2000? 2003? Can't quite recall. Anyway, gave me so much damned judginess. Astro is damned small, and I'm sure I've given authors stinkeyes in person.

Our wings are not tired.
Is anyone suggesting to this friend that she might look at local community colleges for cheaper ways to get the credits, or at least the lower-division stuff?
Yes, at least that was suggested. I tried to point out that if she only wanted to train for a job there are trade schools. If she wants a university degree it means a well rounded education. I think in a few years she will understand why it was important.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
