I just crunched some numbers, and this is the ratio of my years spent in school, to years spent not in school in the past eleven years. That means I've primarily been a student since 1998. Jeeez. The numbers would change drastically if I broke it down by semesters, or seasons, or months, but these are more powerful. Either way, the point is that I just can't stop going to school.

I came to thinking about this today as I was filling out yet more forms to do with my finances. I had to list how much money I have borrowed each year in all of my higher education. There were just enough lines for me, but I had to alter the fields. Not that I think I'm such an unusual case, I just think it's funny because I don't particularly like being in school. I really love working. I wish you could get a degree from becoming really good at something you've mastered at work. I think they call it an apprenticeship. That's what I want. And that way I could get paid for learning instead of the other way around. And maybe I wouldn't have to fill out all these darn forms.
