I admit it there are non coffee people who think that the Dunkin Donuts which is kitty-corner from this place is a good place to get "coffee". BAH!!!!

I admit I just saw this and laughed. After hearing all the rave about DD coffee, I tried it....bleh!! Tasted like dirty water.

I admit Impy, I went back to school after 20 years and was scared to death about it. I probably studied a lot more than I needed to, because I imagined it being a lot harder than it actually was. For me, after being in the work force for so long, I hadn't realized I already knew how to learn - I had proven that over and over again with each increasingly difficult job I took. With school, I could read, study, do work books, etc., without a gazillion people interrupting me all day - it was a breath of fresh air. And I got straight A's because my work habits blended in with my study habits.

Not to say it wasn't stressful at times - it was. But I hadn't realized I already had what it took, and could learn even the really difficult things. With classes like Statistics and Economics, I got a tutor and/or study partner. I realized school wasn't about learning everything in each individual class (although ultimately you kinda have to, to do well on the exams) but more about figuring out HOW to get information, HOW to piece it all together, and HOW to present your findings. So, for example, what I couldn't find in the text books, I'd Google, and what I still wasn't understanding (Statistics, for one), I'd get a tutor for, and ask the professor for tips (with my dyslexia, I found the most common errors I'd make on my exams were things like misreading numbers and such). A lot of classes will allow a page of notes for the exam, so it was a matter of figuring out how best to put that together - like color coding them, etc.

It's a new adventure!!

I admit that was a new experience for me in the UK...as there, yes, we were allowed to take notes with us into our law exams, though way more than just a page (I felt like having half the library with me, not that the time would really allow it until you find your stuff, but still felt glad to have the answer there somewhere).

I admit during my two apprenticeships in Germany we were never allowed to take notes with us into the exam and for those law exams I always bought new law books to make sure there wont be found any sidenote in my book, if it gets randomly checked by the tutor (which both times got checked

)

I admit during our methods of research exam in the final year in the UK we were not allowed to take in notes for a change and I loved it (after all) much more and - for a change - had the time to answer all questions, due to not wasting time with searching the answers...which was an interesting experience for me...to finish off my studies

I admit as much fun and joy I had during my studies, in a truly awesome course...I am nevertheless glad that it is over

I admit that I took a photo of my Things this morning as they went off to school and then I bawled all the way into work.

I admit that I slept crazy and now I feel like I have whiplash. I've taken some Excedrin and I hope it will take the edge off.

I admit that I want to go back home because I want to cry some more... I feel all melancholy at my babies growing up.

I admit that I need to get my work done quickly this week because I have short weeks coming up. *sigh*

I admit that I put the photo of the Things up as my work computer's desktop and now I want to cry when I see it because they are so beautiful and handsome.

I admit that I am so very, very blessed...

On the bus this morning, I was watching a couple of women put their little children on the bus for school. I thought,"that look is on every mother's face." I sat and reveled in the oneness of humanity. Thank you for confirming it, Red.

*hugs my Sunny* It's true... mamas must all feel that collective pride/melancholia twist when we watch our babies grow into the adults that they will become.

I admit it's beautiful and terrifying all at once.

I admit that I agree, Red that it's very beautiful & terrifying all at once!
I see my grandums going onto the next grade and wonder what the future holds for them as they "find themselves" amidst the peer pressure and rules.
I admit that they know that they're loved & that their parents & Nana are here for them no matter what.

I admit that I'm so VERY GLAD that a long weekend is coming up soon!!

I admit that I was greatly cheered at seeing that pic of the Things!! They are so beautiful!

I admit that my friends tend to have really great kids.

I admit that today did not begin well. I am going to try really hard to make sure that it ends well.

I admit that the plant my colleagues gave me for my office is Deeply Unhappy. I am a person who can grow anything, so the failure of this plant makes me sad. Well, only sorta sad, because I really don't WANT the plant... and maybe it knows it, and is giving up?

Too bad they didn't just give me some toner for the printer...

I admit I am the only dork to bring two backpacks to campus and carry them around.

I admit I already have a ton of homework and drive an hour to get to school so I cannot afford to waste any time.

I admit I feel old next to all these 18 yr's.

I admit I don't live on campus so I gotta lug this stuff around with me.

I admit my husband laughed at me, packed my lunch, and sent me off to school

I admit my niece starts her last year of h/s today. I still remember her first day of kindergarten with her winnie the pooh backpack, hair all a'curl and a big grin on her face.

I admit I know this'll be her best year ever, I remember how grade 12 was for me, we were the SENIORS by gosh and my sister was just starting grade 9.

I admit she's decided to go to college next year, to take a 2 yr course in professional make-up then on her way to Vancouver, Hollywood of the North to find a job within the film industry.

I admit I'm sure my sister isn't too happy about this, but I am, that young lady knows what she wants, is going after it and is going to make it.

I admit happy return to school to all the students here, and the somewhat-sadz for all the mammas who are seeing their kids grow up so quickly.

i admit i totally get that feeling of incipient elderliness, impish. during an exercise in one of my classes recently, we were asked to move to two sides of the room. the 30 and unders on one side, the 40 and ups on the other. there were two of us in the latter category. sigh.

i admit i also get deeply resentful when told my opinions and experiences count for little.

i admit i also get annoyed when youngsters just out of highschool (who often haven't done their readings), refuse to participate in class, and i sometimes get the hairy eyeball when i get sick of it and pipe up. i go to tutorials and uni to learn and participate dammitall, not sit around like a lump on a log and listen to the crickets in silence

Agreed so many of them were unprepared for class today it was actually quite amusing to me.

Unfortunately these will be my group mates so I'm hoping they kick it up a notch or we are going to have a few issues.

i admit i pray you don't get stuck doing group presentations/exercises/assignments. it seems to be the big thing in the last several years here (well, i noticed it in my first go round in aussie uni's in 2007ish) and i loathe it with a passion.

i admit i just finished a group presentation and had to resist throttling one young miss fresh from h/s who was so happy she could re-hash her h.s. homework without doing additional research. i had to strain myself to be cordially encouraging that she expand on that. i was firm. she did. but minimally.

i admit back in the mid 80's when i went to uni in the states, they didn't do that sorta stuff. perhaps different courses and such, but likely just a different mindset.

i admit i should stop admitting and finish churning out my last 500 words on this essay.

I admit that I have done sme checking into things and found that the 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for sale down the road (at a jeep specialists shop) should be worth the 4K the owner is asking.

I admit this is WAY more than Mom and I want to spend... BUT

the seals and gaskets have been replaced, the brakes have been done, and the guys at my garage say it's a good deal.

Kelley Blue book agrees.

This does NOT mean this is the new car I will get, but it looks like a good prospect.

I admit there are a couple other places I need to go snoop around before I get too happy about any one vehicle.

I admit that I hope Greeds gets a RELIABLE vehicle SOON!!

I admit that today, the suckage never ends. A younger cousin of mine has been in a relationship with one of those shitweasels the like of which so many of us have come to regret. She even got booted from the house, they hated him so much. Well, she is due in February.

Worst outcome other than him killing her. Fucking appalling. I feel so sad for her parents, who have decided that they love their daughter more than they hate her man, and hey, grandbaby! Of course they are not turning their backs on the little one. Her younger sister is getting married next summer, to a lovely, responsible young man. Funny old thing, life.
