Assuming the majority of us have attended college(or University as I believe my English forum members refer to it) but, I'll be the first to admit, after 20 years away its a whole new world. Some of you know that my advisor overloaded me this semester & as a result it's not only put pressure on me personally, but financially as well as,I was forced to halting work to focus on school. Well today is my final exam of this insane semester. Fifteen chapters of Anatomy & Physiology to cover. Been awake since 2:00 a.m. studying. Let's hope multiple weeks of diet be damned stress eating & 4 hour sleep nights will pay off. Regardless, I'd like to apologize to any that have been teased by inquiries only to be put on hold due to lack of income & to thank you for your patience. Maybe not so art related but I hope to be following up on some pieces, Json being one. Actually just looking for positive vibes. Lucky socks & boxers only go so far.

I can certainly empathise with where you're at, as last September, I started a part time MSc after not doing any formal studying for over ten years. Exams are coming up for me too in a few weeks. Best of luck!

Best of luck, smokey834! (In a quick side note, one of my best interactions that came from the older board was with Smokey---in addition to making the transaction as easy and smooth as possible, he was incredibly kind with words of support as I was working out some job stuff that was unrelated to our transaction.) |

Thanks everyone!!! One insanely exhausting last month but well worth the results. All finals for the semester are completed and passed. Wouldn't have been quite the pressure until you throw a wife & young daughter into the mix. I'm celebrating as we speak w/ a nice run & Coke. Then discussion time w/ the Mrs as to how many classes the summer holds. Was originally just math but my Anatomy professor seems determined to get me in her summer class. Weekend of art auction watching & decision making. Also, great seeing you on here Skendo!!! I'll say the same about him. One of the smoothest AND enjoyable transactions I've had. Hope all is well w/ you my friend.

Well done Smokey, great news that you've passed your finals ...... have a nice rest and enjoy celebrating.
I do hope you're having a ruM & coke? ....... mixing running with coke leads to spillage.

Fair play mate… takes some cojones. You've followed your heart and you're to be commended. It will be successful… short and long term.
My University days were
a. a long time ago
b. involved a single honours degree in Drama (University of Manchester) so therefore very little swotting and mucho ale drinking, hacienda attending and rugby playing - yep, I reckon I'm still the only rugby playing drama student they've had.

You see, the forum always provides for a plan B. Congrats on the exam! |

I remember my old boss when I had a proper job saying he would pay for me to do an MBA. I looked him, said i'd sleep on it, and let him know in the morning. Went home and asked people what the fuck an MBA was. Found out, turned the guy down as I didn't even have a GCSE to my name.
When i looked at the studying involved it appeared to be insane, especially when having to work as well
Hope it all went well for you

... but my Anatomy professor seems determined to get me in her summer class. is this a double entendre? should your wife be worried? |

Keep it up! My finals are the first weekend of June and I will be done with my Masters, hopefully it will be worth it, so far I really enjoyed my program. One of the benefits of graduate programs or even the last year or two of undergrad is that all the classes are much more focused on you major. Nothing was worse than having to take a math class knowing you would most likely never use the information again.
Just make sure you find time for the Mrs. That was my down fall while working 40+ hrs and school, the now ex-gf didn't appreciate the lack of attention.
