34yr old, U.S. Marine Combat Veteran, Mr. Mom, and Full-Time Student about to begin my final semester (yeah right, rollin right into a Masters program afterwards). Finished all my courses early, happily. No need to get angry about not riding. It's all about proper time management, discipline and proper planning. Without it, there is no way I could take time off from the 'rat-race' to achieve another important goal of mine.

And no, I'm not rich or married to a sugar-mama. Hell, I don't even have relatives nearby to help out when times get tough; nearest ones are 1100mi away.

BTW, when were these papers you are all so busy writing issued? I wrote all 5 of my papers early in the semester, some even required my reading ahead to understand the material as it contributed to the subject.
