Yeah, H has his Bachelors in Finance and is getting a Masters in Landscape Architecture. In his case it's actually going to be good to have both when he starts his own firm. Right now it sucks though because it means a 3 year program, not 1 1/2 or 2 years.

I think that's exactly what it is. I went from waitressing, going to school on campus, and dating a guy where we spent the whole weekend together and usually a night during the week to nannying, going to school online and dating a guy who had way less time for me and who I can't sleep with ever. I've gotten so used to sleeping in my own bed, I get anxiety about sleeping anywhere else. I worry a little bit about adjusting to sleeping in our apartment when we get it.
