.... so I've been stupid busy over the last week and a half or so. Started classes full time, no time to read other blogs let alone post to my own lame blog. For those that are following along:
English Composition. Can I take a moment to rant? This class exists solely to justify to those that wasted their time in this major, why English Composition is important. I've held some mid level positions in some very large corporations, and I can tell you that nothing I ever put my hands on adhered to the MLA standards. Also, has anyone noticed that the fields that once were so prominent and probably used this garbage regularly are going away? It's called evolution folks, colloquial language is the majority, MLA is a minority and shrinking ever day.
On a positive note, I love Chemistry so far, and although there is a ton to absorb, Anatomy and Physiology are excellent as well.
On the bike front, the most riding I've gotten in since school started is pulling Ella in the trailer to the pool. I'm going to have to take advantage of my small window on Tuesdays to ride off road. I'm also thinking I need to utilize some night rides around town.... sigh, such is the life of a broke, student.

ahem. just let me say for the record: I LOVE ENGLISH and its composition and quite often find myself saying to my husband:"you don't really speak like that at work, do you?" (he loves it when i correct his grammar.) ;)
psyched you are liking your science classes!
Oh, don't get me wrong. I like the english language and those that use it well in writing and spoken word... that person it just not me. I'm entirely too colloquial, which is why I like blogs, FB and other such distractions.
I have to say, I can't imagine using MLA formatting in my previous business life, or in my future medical life. I will however use it often in research papers so it's not a total loss ;^)
Hey, I was an English major!!! Which probably explains why I manage a warehouse now!
