Message: <blockquote data-quote="Azul" data-source="post: 2531194" data-attributes="member: 11779">I can sympathize with QD's situation since I had the dubious joy of returning to school some years back after being in the workforce for several years.  I was never quite able to fit in to the whole single student mindset during that degree (although I had done the slacker student thing years earlier).Even so, this thread is making me nostalgic for my years back in school.  It wasn't all great (gah, I hate papers and exams) but I miss the pace of student life and the sense of discovery I always had while in school.  Sure I have a higher standard of living now that I'm gainfully employed but working life is so boringly rhythmic and predictable compared to being in school.  More stressful too.  I used to think having an essay due was stressful, until I had a report due for senior management...  profs are way more lenient and laid-back than bosses.Even the crazier days of my last degree had some great moments.  You get to meet a lot of new people and try different things in school, even as an outcast... far more than you do in most 9-5 offices.  If I had the energy, I'd probably be taking a night class at the local uni just for the fun of it.  Hmm... going to university classes, learning the stuff and not having to really care about the grades... sounds good.  School would have been more fun if I never had to worry about the grades.</blockquote>
