Vince, Vince, Vince. You and my husband....and Ruby. You must share some DNA somewhere.

Sometimes I feel that way when I have to tell my mom or dad something I did. Take their shoes and get far, far away so they can't get me.  |

Is this about Moby Dick? I only pretended to finish it.

What kind of a student were you Vince? How did you do in uni?

I was the kind of student who made high grades with little effort, until high school. And I do well on standardized tests. In high school I got top marks in math, music, and foreign language classes (I took third-year Spanish and first-year German at the same time in my junior year), and average marks in history, english, religion, and science classes (except physics, which I rocked). edit: I actually have my high school report cards still - there are some elective classes that I don't remember taking. Maybe a post for Vince's oldy moldy memories. At university I got top marks in the classes I was interested in. Have a look - pretty much As and Bs, with a handful of Cs (this is after I left my first uni, where I was studying music education, and changed to the local state uni and studied accounting/business). The left side is undergraduate, the right side graduate classes:  |

You should have read Moby Dick.
You do taxes? Isn't that kind of boring? Why did you leave music. You could be a famous musician today.
Is licking the Kool-aide better than drinking the kool-aide?

I don't do taxes anymore, except my own and my son's. It was a good living, and it is very interesting when you are doing work with ginormous international clients. But it's also a bit soul sucking.
I was studying to be a music teacher, not be a professional musician. I do have several friends from college who did go on to have professional music careers. But I took my first few education classes and was very discouraged so I bailed.
I like drinking kool-aid more than licking it, provided I made the kool-aid or know the person who made it. If you lick it though make sure it's the sweetened kind and not the type where you have to add sugar.

I don't think it was ever on our reading list. Ms. Vince said she read it in college.

The left side is undergraduate, the right side graduate classes: Woah is that how many classes you have to do at university? Well keep in mind this is for two degrees. It also may look like more because at the time the state university was on a quarter system, so there were three quarters during the "regular year" (August-May) and one in summer. That means 50% more classes than if you looked at it on a term system (fall and spring). They are now on the term system. This is what the suggested schedule looks like for accounting now:  |
