but I'm starting school again and am actually excited about it!!!! I had been in school full-time for the last four years before my recent 5 month break due to our move. However, I'm going to start taking some online courses through Indiana University. This will be great b/c it's always been so difficult to be on campus somewhere with being a mom and wife. Woo hoo for higher education!!!

I think I'm going to take colonial history first. IU has a great selection of on-line courses. I'm kind of lucky in the respect that all of the credits that I have left to complete are electives. I've already got everything for my fine arts requirements and english degree.

good on you, space. [Kiss]

I work with a couple of people who are re-enactors. One concentrates on the fur trade era (Barbara) and the other (David) does various time periods but usually military, I think.

Anyway, Barbara is not pleased with this latest series. She thinks the people are not living up to 17th century standards ... I don't think they would pass in re-enacting circles. [Wink]

edited to add: sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread ... I should have addressed the going-back-to-school thing - good for you Space Opera. I like going back to school and may do so, myself, this fall ... if I can get financial aid.

Just for the record, I won't be re-enacting colonial history, just studying it. But, when I finish the course I might dress up in a period outfit just to celebrate.

edit: no problem; I thought it was funny

I mentioned to Barbara that I didn't think I could do Colonial House for a couple of reasons ... and dang if I can remember what they were! [Dont Know]

Honestly ... my brain is fried. I must get some sleep. (note time of post)

If I figure out what I said earlier, I'll post it here - unless I completely forget (quite possible). Sorry.

Yay, Spacey! That's so cool! [Big Grin]

Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :

okay, one of the reasons was that I don't drink alcohol. this lead David (other co-worker who is also a re-enactor) to say I can hang with him anytime - he wants my share.

Can't remember the other one, but I am coming up with more reasons:

No internet
too much work
No chocolate!!!

I think that last reason speaks for itself.

There are a bunch of us who live here, that's awesome! Maybe we can meet in person! That would be so cool!

(edit: ONLINE course... crap! My bad)

So you can get together online! [Smile]

. . . oh, wait . . .

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

Raia, yes online, silly. However, we come to Indiana quite often. How about planning some kind of meeting for this summer for all the Hatrackers in the area?
