Owlie, I think you will find that smaller, less "high powered" schools care more about their students and the education you get is just as good.
I've been to 6 different schools, small, big, and in between, private, public or whatever, and mostly I found that it's all in what you make of it. Of course, this is coming from a PhD drop out, but getting 2 master's in different fields and at totally different types of schools made me see what I missed the first time.

Hey everyone! Back from 10 days in Key West, it was fantastic... I think I spent more time in the water than I did out!!

Thanks Indy, it was one of the best vacations I've ever taken (and I take a lot of them ).

I bet it helped that you had something to celebrate!

Speaking of vacations, DH and I are just starting to plan a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine for September of 2012. I'm beyond excited, as the trip has been on my bucket list for a while. We're going to drive (ugh!), but we'll have our touring bikes with us. I love trip planning!

Ugh; what is wrong with people? The AA in my office is a nice woman who's married to a big jerk. Their grown son isn't much better. The AA told me today that her son had to put his 15-year old cat to sleep yesterday. As she continued to tell the story, it became clear that her son sent his girlfriend to the vet with the cat. He didn't even bother to come along. As she put it, he often makes his GF "do his dirty work."

That just makes me sad. Sad for his girlfriend, who was charged with taking somebody else's pet to be put down. Even sadder for the cat herself. It's just not right.
