I should have graduated in 2006, but I've been kicked out of the University of Chicago twice. Right now I'm at Indiana University-Bloomington, after a year of doing virtually nothing. So, I've taken about 2.6 years of school off when I have a disposition that hates not taking classes. Ideally I would take a few semesters at IU before returning to Chicago--realistically speaking, Summer 2008 at the earliest. I hope to get my BA in Religious Studies... someday.

My plan is to get a Doctor of Theology degree and as many linguistic MAs as possible so I can get a comfortable job teaching religion, philosophy, and however many languages at a small liberal arts college where I'd be desirable. For this to work I'll have to get into a kick-ass grad school, which means I need to build up my GPA, get back to Chicago, flaunt my POD book (to show that I'm passionate, I guess), and get fluency in my languages. My plate's pretty full, I guess.

My mom went back to school when she was like 48, and now she shoots injured and crippled people with X-Rays.

And I had a few classmates in undergrad who were "non-traditional students." The funny thing is, at music school, they're usually has-been rock stars. This one guy used to be moderately successful in the West Coast scene and played with Alice Cooper once or twice. Now he's a Lutheran music therapist and plays at old people's bedsides. Awesome guitar player, though.

I considered going to Berkeley for a bass course But I worry it's not worth going all the way to Boston for it.

Congrats Glow! Keep it up!

Man, I can really appreciate this. I don't know if my sister is still taking classes but she was doing that and raising two children by herself. Dag yo', it ain't cool to be in school but I know it's better than pretendin' you're a tool!

Don't you have to be pretty good to go to Berklee? And maybe be able to spell the name of the school?

So how is it that trombone jokes are going to help you play bass well enough to get into Berklee?

My mom did the same. She went back to school in her early 40's for 2 years and became RN for few years until she got her own office. She currently makes 38 bucks an hour. Don't tell anyone I told you.

The trick is to study even when the material is really goddamn boring. I'm going to the 3rd best school in the country and haven't got anything less than A- for 2 years.

take good notes, pay attention to the lectures, spend all of your lunch breaks and free time in the afternoons in the biology labs. I think that's about it.

Thanks- I couldn't get through A&PII, my instuctor put me to sleep and she didn't go by the book, and I had a different instructor for lab, I liked him alot, but I couldn't get into his class. Fortunatly she is retiring this year, so I don't have to worry about getting her again, Unfortunatly, so is he...

My grades actually went up the less I studied for some classes. I used the Force and trusted my instincts!
