I would sympathize, but I don't know what half of your words meant. I think I'm sorry, but I'm not 100% sure.
Maybe you should switch from coffee to beer. At least it would make things a little more interesting. Just a thought... |

Good luck.
I'm just closing a $2.5MM venture debt deal, bidding on a $20MM debt recapitalization, planning for 2005, writing a 6 page term paper on management effectiveness, and trying to understand derivatives and differential calculus. With my spare time, I hang out with my enormous 11 month old, and provide much needed care and support to my better half. When I want to have fun I go out in to the garage and stare at my 914. Yeah yeah- what am I doing here.... shut it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Hmmm....let me tell you, the small liberal arts college is the way to go...I am on my 4th week at the new job...I may not be a prof with young coeds staring at me, but keeping their network up isn't all that bad either, always got to wander out in the hall during the class change times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Good luck, you will make it ... its funny, I have been out of school long enough that I have forgotten the nights like you are having and am considering going back...hmmm Tony |

...and speaking of Schopenhauer and Hegel.....
Philosophers song Immanual Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table David Hume could out consume Schopenhauer and Hegel And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed John Stuart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill Plato they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink, therefore I am" Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed A lovely little thinker But a bugger when he's pissed Thank you Monty Python |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Try eating chocolate coverd coffee beans. They giver you a real buzz of energy. Works for me anyway. But watch how many you eat in a row or you may end up like Beivs on candy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif) I understand your procrastination. I elected myself Queen of Procrastination! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Good luck today! Hope you can get a couple hours of Z's after all of that technical stuff you're doing. BTW, I dont understand what all you are doing, but keep in mind that after all of this schooling is done, it will have paid off in more ways than you would have thought.
