getting down to the wire, again

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate nursing school. It's almost over, even if I don't quite stick the landing on this last class.

I'm ready for at least a twelve-month personal moratorium on higher education. I'm ready to cheer others on from the sidelines for a while. Serkey starts medic school in a few weeks, Klohe has one Nursing Concepts exam under her belt, and Strange is spending his summer gamely doing battle with the vagaries of survey psychology and sociology classes. I'm proud of all of them.

I plan to OD on Joseph Campbell as soon as I have the chance. The History Channel had a program that featured an interview with a scholar from his library. I have always loved mythology, and got a little taste of Jung in college, but never got around to reading Campbell. Hell, I want to read Harry Potter. I want to read the newspaper.
