educational journey paused Thanks to NBC being so generous with their web site, I was finally able to see an episode of their program Journeyman in its entirety and I was very pleased with what I saw. From the few minutes that I had seen prior to today, I got the sense that the program was a more dramatic version of the 1980's series Quantum Leap. Broadly speaking, the show is an update on that earlier program, but I have a feeling that I will like this version better and not miss the wincing comedic relief that plagued that other series. I am also delighted to see the actress Moon Bloodgood on television again. I liked seeing her in the short lived ABC drama Daybreak that was meant to placate fans of Lost while it was on hiatus. ... On Thursday I had been sorting through some boxes in the spare bedroom and hesitated when I came to the box that held old college papers of mine. As soon as I saw them I remembered all of the classes that I had took just a few years ago. Then it struck me that I have been away from college for three years now. Three years have been spent doing nothing but work. There has been no formal education. There has been no need to learn anything new. I have not been tested in any way. All of those things saddened me. I am not saying that I dislike my life, but at the same time it has shifted focus in the past three years. As much as I miss school from time to time, I do not have enough free time in my life to attend class. Between getting my new place up to speed and trying to sell my old place, making the journey to the east side of Milwaukee to sit in a lecture, just isn't that realistic. |
