Really?! My mother was raised on a farm outside of Berwick and went to high school in Finch. Cornwall was her family's idea of a big town back then. Luckily for me she got sick of the cold and moved us all down to sunny Florida.

Now, I'm 44 about to retire from the AF and go back to school on GI bill. Who knows where I'll go from there because I'm not really watching where I'm flying...

Good going! Sometimes it's discouraging to work (making a living), go to school, and make a personal live. I fell out of it 4 times (school) and realized my mistake this very last time; each time there was a work crunch, I gave up several class sessions (might be just a week or two) and each time managed to fall behind enough that I failed. Finally made school my priority over work - School is what will make me, work just does it for someone else.

Remember your GI Bill lasts only 10 years. Boy, do I know it... I willowed and wallowed, and before you know it, it was all gone.

You can see by all the posts that this wasn't a stupic question. Thank you for your openness in asking this question, Sanmi. Look how it has given us this opportunity to get to know each other better.

I'm new around here, 46 and love it. I've been into SF&F since I read the Hobbit in elementary school. I'm a mommy with 7-year old twin girlies a doctorate in public health and work for myself. All y'all in school, hang in there. I went to school until I was 35 some kind of way or another, yet I survived to co-found a non-profit and get enuf sense to quit and work for myself.

I love swinging up to 50 -- where I can "wear purple and channel my crone!!" And it's fun to be an old mama and watch all your peers point and laugh while their kids move out and start their own families.

Huh. Small planet, ain't it?

I call Cornwall a small town 'cause after college in Kingston and uni in Ottawa, I can't go back to a town that has only one bookstore, one music store (neither of which even bother trying anymore ), and about half a comicbook store (mostly sports cards, and a few shelves of Marvel books).

Plus everything's so spread out that you have to either have a car or rely on the bus.

That planet's comin' up awfully fast. . .
