Hi folks!

I've got a day or two off now for midtermbrea k! Not to brag or nuthin' likw that BUT, yours truly has a "4.0" gradeavera ge at midterm I received an "A+" on both papers! the one paper in Criminal Justice Systemwas on "Drug Detection Dogs" and how a positive hit (alert) by a drug dog gives "probable cause" for a search warrent and my paper in Criminal Investigation was on Mitochondrial DNA and Nuclear DNA, how each is obtained at a crimesc ene and how the evidence is presented in court! Sorry, had to brag just a little, to be real honest, I surpised the HECK outta myself!

I'm counting down to the second, myself!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo excited about getting 5 days off!!


Congrats Dennis! I know how difficult it is to keep up a "perfect" GPA!

Dennis - congrats!!! Very, very proud of you. See, you were worried about going back at your age....mmmmm, you did it! And very well, I might add.

When I first saw this topic go up yesterday and read your post, I swear I had visions of an "old fart" (your descriptive words on another going back to school thread) taking a break on the ski slopes maybe. Can see the headlines now....Older bearded fellow, partying until dawn, on mid-term break.

But then I remembered you have a broken arm. You can't party on the slopes but maybe in the lodge? he he

Seriously, I know you're home nursing that bum arm (dang, that had to hurt!) so take it easy. Because you'll be busy again with studies/papers/tests.....

Dennis... and you were scared to go back to school... you are kickin my butt right now! Congrats!

What we old-timers have on our side Shannon is wisdom. Hate to admit it but when you're over 30, going back to school is so different. Gone are the days you're paying more attention to the cute guy in the back of class, wondering if he's looking at you, instead you're taking notes and paying attention! Boy was I different type student in HS and then in college at age 30. Very different! I sat in the front row, took notes that others were wanting to copy and I never slept!!! LOL

But then again, Dennis is taking online classes. What do you think his secret is?

I couldn't agree more Miss Mary! When I started my MBA courses in 1994, I was 32 and had been in my field for a good 10 years. It made the classes so much easier to follow and understand because I had my work experience to relate to plus everyone else's.
