If you can get a gig at Aeon or Geos, you might want to give it a go for a year. It's an interesting experience if you can either distance learn or take leave from study for a year.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419851636570519145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33409496.post-1158081517307053372006-09-13T02:18:00.000+09:002006-09-13T02:18:00.000+09:00Hi Shari,Yeah, I'm a student all right, just anoth...Hi Shari,<BR/>Yeah, I'm a student all right, just another laid off IT worker completing a Master's degree ;).

I think it was a good experience going to yakitori-ya and various restaurants. <BR/><BR/>You must be a student to have to pay so much for a textbook. I think the whole textbook racket at universities and whatnot is a crime, especially at the schools who insist you not buy used books (which some will do). I remember spending $300 a semester on books back in my day. I think that's a drop in the bucket compared to now.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419851636570519145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33409496.post-1157945894802727922006-09-11T12:38:00.000+09:002006-09-11T12:38:00.000+09:00I can sympathize.
