Thankyou!
Happy birthday, birthday twin, Catherine.
Everybody, there's a birthday thread over in Personally For You if you'd like to leave birthday greetings for Catherine or I. Sorry, I'm not able to do links though.

Jennifer I went to school to take a course for Office Administration. I had the hardest time finding a job because I was "too young"  and I ended up with a job that I hated after a few months. My boss was terrible and things were just not organized at all. I decided I didn't like office jobs because I can't stand being stuck in an office all day. Some days I just wanted to run away screaming. 
I don't see the point in going to school unless you are really passionate about something or you really need a good job that supports you and/or your family. Lorne loved planes so that is why he went to college for avionics. And now he has a job that he absolutely loves. Most days it doesn't even seem like he is working. It just seems like he is playing with planes. 
Diane, I will pray! Have fun!
I think sometimes people go to college for odd reasons. I'm pretty sure I know some people (like seriously) that only went because they look down on people w/o degrees. They don't want to be in college, but they want the degree. I guess if you hear that college grads make more $$, then that may be a driving force. I've seen plenty of reasons why people go to college and they're not really interested in anything. It's some outside reason, some of which they woudn't share. I'm pretty sure the ones that think they're "better" for having a degree won't tell anyone that.
ETA: I just got an email from the president of the university, saying that a student at the law school was shot and killed in front of an apartment complex. Odd thing is, I heard about the shooting, but I didn't even know he was a student here.

Starting with the sentence below, could a mod pretty please fix this so the words below are not in quote? Thank you so much. (Your welcome.  )
I went only due to the pressure I got from so many people to do so. My parents were good about it, they NEVER pressured me to go to school, but many other people in my life did. School had always been hard for me, and I didn't want to go through 4 more years of struggling. My parents understood that, other people did not. Some of the very people that pressured me to go to school knew perfectly well that my parents had told me I didn't have to go school if I didn't want to, and yet they still told me I had to, so in a sense, they were undermining my parents' authority of me, and disrespecting our family dynamics.
When I did go to school, it DID NOT ending up being this great thing that I was glad people had talked me into. In fact, you know how some people say those are the best years of one's life? Well, I hope that is not the case for me, otherwise I have a miserable life ahead. There were some good things about my college experience, but in someways it was pure misery(if it weren't for TOS, I'd have worse things than that to call it). I lived off campus in a miserable dwelling on a family's property, had a job, babysitting jobs, chores to do for the family I lived with, I was usually the only one or one of about 2 roommates that cared a fig about cleaning the place we lived in (it was such a dump, I refuse to call it an apartment, it had no kitchen, no heat, no ac, a measly bathroom and almost no windows, and was full of mold), involvement at the church I went to, and the duty to take care of my clunky car that was always breaking down, and was across the country from home, so I was homesick a lot. But, although, I did not like school, I did like kids, so elem. ed. was the obvious major, so I just drove myself to do what I had to do so that I could graduate, and go on to teach kindergarten, and then it would all be worth it. But then I got deathly ill my senior year, and still to this date have not been able to go back to school, so it all went down the drain anyway, AND I'm STILL paying off the tail end of a college loan, so I feel like saying a sarcastic THANKS ALOT to each and every person that ever pressured me about school. If I could do it all over again, I would simply have gotten a preschool certificate at a jr. college, and never have touched the 4 year college with a ten foot pole.
The people that did pressure me to go to school always used the reasoning that not every woman gets married. True, but not everyone is college material either. There is nothing ungodly, unethical or immoral about getting a job at Target, and working one's way up there, or being a secretary, or a nanny, or whatever. And hopefully, a christian single woman wouldn't need to make a whole lot of money anyway, because in most cases, she is just one person. God only says we have to work six days a week, He never says that we have to have a prestigious career.
P.S. I did make a couple of great friends, and I did enjoy my education classes, and I did like the children's fair that our literature for children class put on, so there were some bright spots.

That is what I meant. But the way I wrote it still makes sense to me cuz any good memory is still "good memories" to me! Yeah, I like to be confusing and difficult.
Oh, oh ok, lol, it's just to me saying "good memories" without saying "some," implies it was all good, and it WASN'T.
