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..." :-)

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.

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*!
