Continuing Education

Last night I went to my first post-graduate class. I'm not currently pursuing a master's degree; this is just a class to improve my skillset and marketability for work. I won't bore you with the details of what it's about, because I'm sure you don't really care about ADO.NET or C# ("C Sharp"). It felt oddly familiar. I've been out of school for almost 4 years now! (Ok, that makes me feel a little old.) I'm sure it has to do with the subject matter being familiar to me, the teacher being friendly and engaging, and the the fact that it appears that most of my classmates are there for the same reasons as me. They're all young professionals trying to learn new skills. (Except for those two old dudes.) It really creates an atmosphere well suited to learning; and we still laugh and have a good time while we're doing it. And nobody has to get yelled at for playing games on their graphing calculators. Times like this, I really enjoy school. Now hopefully I can convince my company to reimburse me for it.
