Resource Links
As you can see, I have begun adding some resource links to the blogroll … not that many yet - mostly because I am working on my brand spanking new back to school laptop. It is very, very pretty …and also very, very fast compared to either of my 2 older computers (yes, I am a geek as a matter of fact!) … but I do not yet have the track pad sorted out. I need a proper mouse.
At some point today, I shall get off my butt and go buy a proper mouse. But for now, I am making do, and getting frustrated… so more linking of resources will have to wait. I wonder if I can buy a purple mouse to match my laptop? Would that be just too much geekdom? Probably 
I will likely go for what ever is cheap - I don’t even want a wireless, as I have a history of snapping the little doomaflicky that goes in the USB port right off. Very expensive tendency!
So anyway - resources! I can stay on topic, really Sometimes. So far today has not shaped up to be one of those times, but I will get there. Soon. Hopefully. I have a 15 - 20 page psychology paper to write between now and when I start at Trent on Tuesday morning. It doesn’t HAVE to be done - but it would be SO nice to get it done and out of the way before I jump into the next bit. Will still have to arrange to write the exam for the course, also - but once the paper is done, the bulk of the course (and stress) will be finished.
I will continue to add to the resource links as I round them up or come across them - and eventually, will also write some articles re: specific resources and so on - but I certainly encourage you to share any resources you have come across in your travels with us, and will be happy to add them to the list.
What websites have helped you in your back to school as a grown up experience? Tell us about them!
Yay, now I’m logged in.
Unfortunately, I can’t help here. I haven’t personally been tempted to go back to school but then I happened across a fairly suitable career despite my need to write fiction. Hey, it pays the bills.
I will note, though, that a substantial number of the engineers I work with garnered their education as adults, going back to school because they were disappointed in their earlier careers. So, although I haven’t done it, many of the people I know and respect have.
Best of luck to you.
