Thursday, June 10, 2004 The Thursday Threesome: School Bus Stop Onesome: School-- Since the school year seems to be over (your mileage may vary: some of you are already in summer sessions!): what was your favorite year in school? Yeah, the one you had the best time in or learned something special or had that learning breakthrough? Hard to say. Each year had its high and low points. Perhaps it was the senior year in high school. Yeah, there were all these pesky tests to take and I wasn't particularly in anyone's social circle to enjoy all those school activities centered on seniors, but I think what I liked about it was the expectations and the possibilities. It was the year when everyone was on the edge of something and I felt that I could do or become anything. You're on this threshold, on the verge of growing up, and you're acutely aware that even though you can't see the future, any choice you make might set it one way or another. Of course, I'm still in school and I still have choices, but they're far more limited now than back then. Twosome: Bus-- Hey, how did you get to school in the early years? Walk? Bike? Mommy van? Bus? ...and for those still attending, how are you getting to and fro these days? Depends on how early you're talking about. Preschool--of course my parents drove me. Kindergarten to part of second grade--walking (but that was when I lived close enough to school to do that). Onward, I took the bus, even during high school when it was considered uncool. In fact, I still take the bus, but you have to make an exception for today. I drove because I had to get to lab early. Threesome: Stop-- ...and when did you stop going to school? ...or did you? Are you still at it? Any plans to go back for those who are out of the system? I am still in school. However, I don't plan on still going to school after I get the degree I'm planning on, unlike some people who plan on law school after graduate school to go into patent law (eek!). [posted by S. Y.
