After seven straight years of full time higher education, I am finally done with school. After getting a BA in history in 2009, I will be receiving my master's of library and information science in a few weeks. The library where I currently work is expanding my hours to 3/4 time and giving me a raise, which is great since it still allows me to stay home with my two kids for the most part and my parents and in-laws will cover a couple days. Amazingly, I have no school debt at all because the GI Bill paid for almost my entire education. I am so excited to be able to tell my friends that I can actually do things and hang out instead of working on a project, doing homework, or having to go to class; since I moved to New Hampshire with my wife after getting out of the navy, many of my friends have never known me except as a perpetual student.
I don't actually post very much, but I do visit regularly and read a lot. BoB has been a great resource for me when I was stressed out with a project and needed to relax; reading posts for a few minutes and thinking about pipes and my next smoke always helps put things in perspective. The forum also, however, became quite the procrastination tool when I didn't want to get back to work Of course, combining this board, a brain stressed out with homework (and scotch) can also lead to this kind of ridiculousness.
