I'm my mother's primary care giver, so unless they'll let me bring her along, it probably wouldn't work out. Haha. But if we found an option that allowed for it, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. Haha

I'm in Tennessee, actually. I go online. I really do like the school, though. And I know they have a brick and mortar in Manchester.

Very jealous of your move. I've wanted to move to Maine or Vermont since I was a kid, CT would be great, too. Let me know if you find something even moderately affordable! Lol

He is. Poor guy, though. He's had a lot of stuff in his life. He also had vericose veins on his dick and balls, and the pee hole was in the wrong spot when he was born.

And no, I'm not sharing info he'd want hidden. He's very, very open this stuff and tries to destigmatize. Just in case anyone was concerned.

That's a heavy workload. Make sure you get some time in there for you, too. You deserve it.

If you're in the US, SNHU has been really awesome. Terms run 8 weeks, they don't do group projects, and there are tons of helpful things like the tutoring. So long as you can write a paper in APA or MLA (depending on path), and can follow instructions, you're golden. 8 weeks feels rushed compared to 16 weeks of brick and mortar schools, but honestly, it's about 5 hours per week per class for me. Two classes at a time is full time, but you can take 1 if you need, or 3 in your second year if your GPA is over 3.0.

No, was walking down his hall, and somehow they just tangled? It was a blood curdling scream.

Now I'm imagining a planet with a helium atmosphere that's breathable for humans. Best. Episode. Of. Star Trek. Ever. I'm envisioning TOS, super serious scenes where Scotty has fallen near dead, Kirk looks to Bones for some reassurance, and in Mickey Mouses voice Bones mournfully tells him "He's dead, Jim"

... It freaks me out that is exactly my plan that I've spitballed in the shower several times.

I have a friend with a whole host of health problems, including severe seizures. I was on the phone with him one night, when he said hang on, and I hear "oh, ow!" And then he starts screaming like he's being murdered. I thought it was like an extreme seizure. Turns out, testicular torsion. I felt so badly for him.

I joke about it, and I did struggle pretty bad with a stats class (my brain does not math), but honestly, I love it so much. I truly enjoy the learning with classes like anthro, soc, et cetera, and I've got a 3.8 gpa (that damn math class). I'm 2 years in now, and genuinely dreading it ending. I'm seriously considering a master's after this, because I am not ready to be done with school.

Read the rubric! I'm at SNHU, so ymmv at other schools, but read the rubric. They grade to that, and it doesn't matter how exceptional your work is, if it doesn't meet the rubric, you're boned. If it's mediocre and meets the rubric, it's at least a passing grade. Other than that, utilize any extras your school offers. Snhu offers tutoring, both schedules and drop in, writing labs, all kind of academic help. If you're ever struggling, call your advisor and let them know. They can suggest things to help, or potentially even get you withdrawn from a class you know you won't pass.

Do you plan on going in person or online?

That last panel is how I feel having signed my stupid ass up for college at 30.
