I'm taking a break. My butt wants me to stand. My eyes are shimmering. It's only been a few hours, but I'm ready for a lengthy time doing something else. Anyway the nice fellow is lurking. He has been very nice and has not said a word about the computer. He's reading the "Sector General" omnibus, surprised at how good it is. I thought he knew.
My kid finally took it to heart that he doesn't have to sleep in his car and he has moved into a motel. He only has three weeks to pay for, I really don't care. It's all part of the expense of becoming a doctor.
My other kid got more recruiting material from Drexel. All I remember about Drexel from when I lived in Philadelphia is that they had this huge fraternity row a few blocks from where we lived and every year running up to Homecoming the frat houses would build these immense elaborate displays in their front yards. I can't remember whether they stayed in their yards or were made to be part of floats for a parade. That is, I remember it both ways. I remember they were all about the dragons (Drexel the Dragon), and had moving parts.
Bad sign: prominent frat culture. Good sign: elaborate dragon constructions. Good sign: they have, apparently, an extensive co-op program. Bad sign (for an institution calling itself a university): they have majors in "construction management" and "sports management." Maybe it's just snobbery on my part. But it seems weird to me.
Urk. I guess it is snobbery, because I certainly believe in having voc ed. And if I think about it, I think that there should be more communication between voc ed and "university" type of education. So? Why shouldn't a university have a construction management degree?
