Well, THAT was Disappointing

So it’s the 22nd. Year 3 has begun. I got the Welcome thread switched over precisely at midnight. It’s the only thing that got done on time in the last 3 months.
I had so many plans, so many ideas, and 91 days. I worked on my list maybe 20 of them. I’ve been working at the day job a lot more than usual, and other aspects of my life have gotten far more demanding than usual. On the plus side (or not), the day job is spiraling. I’m either going to be thrown out or (more likely) walk out sometime soon if things don’t change. So yea, things have been a little crazy on my end. And TCFL had to suffer for it. Sorry, everyone.

I'm taking an accelerated class this Summer semester. US History, post civil war. It's kicking my backside up and down the court. Trying to take an entire college class in 10 sessions is rough. I feel like that's all I ever do is go home and read. Of course this last week, I worked extra hard, busted tail, so that I could have Sunday off to go fishing with my father. It was a blast, except for some draw backs.
Rant: Brains, Education, & the CF

The following began as a rather off-topic rant on a thread. It was moved to MB to avoid derailing that thread. Utter laziness (Hey, it's nearly 6 am, cut me some slack!) kept me from rewriting the first paragraph, so I'm sorry if the opening is rather abrupt.
I have to disagree with ANY correlation between education and intelligence. In times past, it may have been true that only the intelligent were well-educated. That is not so these days. What determines education level in this era is the depth of your credit line (or that of your parents) and your willingness to stick it out. Some of the most idiotic people I've ever encountered have college degrees. On the flip side, some of the quickest minds I've ever engaged have belonged to people with minimal higher education... if any.
Education, Vacation, Libation?

Ok I will start with the education update.. and work from there. I signed up for my first class, I won't be taking a lot, but at least its a start. I will be taking American History, post Civil War during the summer semester. It will be a slow uphill fight to get these classes done, but it will be worth every second. I have been needing to get back into school for quite some time. And I finally found the motivation to do so.
