I am working on my Biology, Chemistry and Zoology homework today, along with processing data from my personal research projects and thesis.
I needed to take a study break and run the snowthrower thanks to last night's storm. As I sit here with a hot coffee warming up my fingers staring at the piles of articles and reports, I just wanted to thank everyone here for all the help and support I have received over the years from this group.
Thanks to a good many of you egging me on, and thanks to those of you that forced me to learn you never make a claim without the data to back it up!
The conversations and encouragement here over the years inspired me to get off my blue-collar, hillbilly butt and go back to school. At the end of this quarter I will be 75% done with a Bachelors in Biology and a minor in chemistry. I was going to single people out, but I realized there are far too many to list from over the years.
I have no clue yet what I am going to do in Grad School, but it appears I may Major in Biochemistry and minor in Herpetology.
So in short, thanks for the inspiration and support. I had forgotten how much fun higher learning is.
Additionally, I highly suggest you get off your butts and get a degree in something that interests you if you haven't done so already. I'm old, grouchy, toothless and anti-social, but if I can do it, anyone can. If you are young, do it now and get it over with. If you are old, do it now and get it over with.
The results are worth the struggle.
Happy Holidays, and try not to get too used to me being all sappy in posts.
