So, I've finally gotten my financial situation to a point where I can go
back to school - yay!
I'll be studying Simulation Development (basically programming with an
emphasis on Math & Physics) at DevRy University, taking evening courses
as long as I can, and then taking online courses to finish the rest.
Classes start Monday. I've been waiting a *very* long time for this
(OK, 3 years, but dammit, it's long to me!), and my very first class
is... economics?!?!?
Oh well, I'm sure it will still be useful :)

At first glance I read that as "taking online courses in finnish" and
thought "wow, he's really serious about moving..." :-)

Check your feather pillows for holes

Microeconomics or macroeconomics?
Micro is easy: If you grok how supply, demand, and price interact in a
market economy, you only need to learn things like "elasticity" and
"inferior good" and you can ace the final immediately. I CLEPed micro
when I wad doing college in the military.
Also, if you grok how supply, demand, and price interact in a market
economy, you know more about economics than just about any politician.

John

Sorry to hear that.
Try an alcohol rub both external and internal ;)
Q. How did you do it? If that is not a too personal question.

Internal sounds the better of the two options. My md has prescribed a
topical rub that reduces the pain from excrutiating to bearable which
means I can use all the alcohol in the house internally :-)

No idea. Slight pain on Thursday, couldn't even move on Friday. I refuse
to blame the Kat

Yeah. There isn't really a way of "resting" your back. You use it for
*everything*!
