Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)

I am going to college. Okay, I’m not “going” anywhere but I have signed up for college courses line to work toward a Bachelors of Science in Computers to begin on October 1st.

The classes are all online so I get to take classes at my leisure. I havev never really taken any college courses with the exception of a macroeconomics class onboard ship. However, the future seems to require a degree, being a Vet doesn’t seem to matter anymore. I am in a mixed state though. Partly excited about the new stuff to learn and partly worried about the math courses. Math was never my strong suit, which is strange considering I went into advanced weapons and electronics in the military which is pretty much all math as well as now working in computers. Then again, counting in binary is pretty easy. Oh well, just need to take it as it comes right?

Nothing new on the adoption front with the exception that I talked to the PI I mentioned before. Unfortunately, she doesn’t think she can help at all. The agency holds all the records and she agrees that there were probably changes or adjustments to my non-id which is why I haven’t been able to make any matches to reality. Oh, one cool thing, my parents visited the agency. Someone mentioned that I should ask them because the agency might share some more but oh well, they didn’t. My parents did tell them I would be out and might drop by. I am looking forward to it. :angel:

It’s late, I’m tired, and Wayne is about to sing on “Who’s Line.” See ya but I will leave you with one more quote:

Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

Maybe I should work on a degree in law?
