<<<You have a great New Year, and when you get the urge come on back and post a time or two... you're always welcome.>>> Thankyou Chuck. I will probably have a hard time withdrawing from the thread (as can already be seen :-). Refreshing my SI bookmark page has become a big part of my life lately, especially since I'm on a LAN connection at school. My computer is online virtually 24 hours a day, and when I walk by it, I'm always tempted to 'reload' the bookmarks. Of course, it is equally gratifying to have the ol' inbox full of pleasant messages. So, you can bet I'll be around... in the shadows usually. I actually prefer to lurk as I believe I can cover more ground that way, but I thoroughly enjoy good, intelligent conversation about most everything as well. And for the most part, that is what I've found here at the DGIV thread. So the question is, "Do I want to spend free time talking with friends, or do I want to spend that time doing research?" I chose the research, but rest assured, I'll make some time for chattin too :-) <<<Good luck with school next semester.>>> Thanks, school starts back up on Monday. Here's the line-up: Accounting 1050 (Introduction to accounting) Management 3000 (Introduction to business management) Business Administration 3000 (Basically a BA theory class/introduction) English 3150 (Critical reading and writing for management) -17 credits (BTW, we're actually on the quarter system. I started the last week of Sept, and will finish after three quarters in mid-June. However, we are making the transition to semesters in the fall of '99. This has various implications most of which are bad IMO. One bad thing in particular is that next summer will only be 10 weeks long for me. We'll be getting done in mid-June and starting back up again the day after Labor day. I also don't like the fact that none of my profs have semester experience. They will be adjusting their curriculum towards a more lengthy term, and will be unable to determine with as much accuracy as they had in the past how big the work-load is that they are giving to the students. I don't like to be a guinea pig. I knew about this ahead of time and chose to go here anyways due to Carlson's reputation. One thing that has been key: I will have two years under my belt when the transition is executed. Those students with one or three years are getting screwed because they are in the middle of a certain phase, and stuff just plain doesn't transfer that well. I'm at the point where my lower-division credits are almost completed, and will move on to upper-division courses after the transition. As a result, things will go much smoother for me than for others. I actually took a year off before going to college and this is just one more instance which indicates that that was the right decision for me. Of course, that's a whole other story :-))
