Still in School Blues
I'm still in school, soon to be forty-four
Still in school, I get to play no more
Still in school, learning is fun
Still in school, going to "get-r-done!"
Still in school, no longer "teacher's pet!"
Still in school, no tears of regret
Still in school, learning more and more!
At least I know more now
Than when I was four...
(sarcastic poem about finishing my degree. Behind in reading, but I am still around!)

I am sitting in a McDonald's as I write this. I have lost my Internet connection at home more often than I can count. My base computer is broken, so I bring my laptop everywhere in hopes of getting a connection. So I'm apologizing for being so far behind on reading. Looks like we all have very good reasons. Keep going with your education. As one who went back to school when I was an adult, knowing how difficult it is raising children, especially when one has just joined the service, I applaud you again and again.
lol, good for you :)
Good for you. Keep it up! :)
I know you'll get your degree. Dont give up :) Cute poem :)
I hope you get that degree. Hang in there.

Learning is never ending. Good for you!
