[QUOTE]Wally, I'm just a tutor. I work with K-6 kids in all subjects, and the occasional Geometry student. I'm still a student, so tutoring is great for me right now.

[QUOTE]J, I have a bachelors degree in Political Science and a bachelors degree in Justice and Public Safety, and a masters in Public Administration. Any class right now?  Probably something having to do with computers.  Computers are fun.  Administration is fun too, but I've taken a bunch of management and administration courses, so I'm not sure there's many more of those that I can take.

Are you willing to go back to school (again) at all?  I mean, I'm talking eventual career jobs here, not a "right now" job to get you out of what you're doing.

With your background, if you did some IT stuff, I wonder if you'd enjoy doing forensic computer stuff.

And also Holly?  I realize you didn't ask for input, so feel free to ignore me or tell me to shut up.  Unsolicited advice can be so annoying.  Sorry!

So, here's a random story.

I'm driving to work today.  And I drive through some major hick farmland.  And I get behind this little green mid-sized pickup, with a topper on it, but the top gate of the topper was gone and it was covered with chicken wire.  And in the back of this little pickup?  Some furniture, and four goats.  GOATS I TELL YOU WTF.

Haha he totally is, Adamar, and I love him for it.

[QUOTE]J, only if it's not for another masters degree.  I've talked to H about going back for an IT degree, but right now, it's just not feasable.  My student loan debt is already pretty high, and I certainly don't want to increase that right now.  Going back to school doesn't bother me, though, other than the financial portion of it.
Posted by Holly4212011[/QUOTE]

Yeah, student loans totally blow.  Well, I hope you figure something out!  Job searching and not really knowing what you want to do totally sucks.  I feel you, for sure.

I also loved Geometry and hated everything else about math ever.  Especially Algebra and Trig.

But I'm a weirdo and I loved doing proofs.

Wally the dude waaaay up in the stands looking all nervous was her dad. The older gentleman who was practically climbing out of the stands for a protest?? That was the USA '96 coach, lol.

sarabear23

I've got one more math class left at school. College algebra or trig. Chances are I'm taking trig.

You ladies are whack. Geometry is terrible and makes no sense. Algebra follows a train of consistent logic and order. I always aced my algebra classes, but geometry was a mindfuck.

It surely was.  I was like WTF IS THIS WHERE DO I LIVE?!

I thought they were dogs at first, because they were floppy eared goats. Nope.  Goats.  GOATS.

Thats the one, J. I love that intense old man. I told my mom during the 96 Olympics that I wanted her to call him so we could train individually with him.

Interesting about the silver/bronze deal. Hmmm. I still think Komova demonstrates a lack of grace when it comes to sporstmanship, however. 

J, I'm giggling at the goats visual. The things you see in the rural midwest. 

Loopyseven

I did well in all math classes except Geometry.
