Hello froggy, nice to see you again :)
I left my studies 8 years ago due to borg pressure, went out, started my own business and I'm now back to finish my last year of college :)
Got couple of guys doing work back home while I'm here. (going home every weekend though) You never know I might need a Social Ecologists on my team one of these days too ;)
Mind you, I do know what it means to live off the smell of an oily rag, (as on of my guys put it :), lived like that every day when I started studying, almost a decade ago.
