re: #49 Decatur Deb
Had a different “Idea of the University”. Took all the classes that interested me—got most of the way through the “A” section of the catalog.
I liked chemistry and structure that didn’t involved carbon, and glass paperweights are pretty. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Well, actually, I am an argument as to why you should encourage your children to reconsider their childhood dreams when they hit 18 or so, because I decided at age 4 that I wanted my Ph.D. and maybe that wasn’t the best plan overall.
But I did finish it, so maybe that counts for something.
