I wanted to major in CS and spoke with the head honcho. He told me girls didn't major in computers and that I'd never pass the math classes. I so wish that I'd proved his chauvenistic as wrong! <BR/><BR/>We're gonna have a little garden next Summer. It's never too late.

Weird is as weird does sweetie, it's really cool to read stuff like this and every time I do it makes me go all introspective about what's weird about me. Maybe one day I'll do something similar. My favorite fact was your last. I have often thought something really similar. Although part of it is already true for me, I have many times wondered how my life would be if I had chosen my path. I may just have gone the farm route myself. I do love working with my hands and living off the land. I've already got you beat on the kids tho' (including your cross-out) As for your college professor, he probably did you a favor because engineering is often extremely boring and you would probably have wandered from that too.<BR/>Take Care<BR/>FMDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
