and when i went back---clean and sober, I actually wanted to be there and participate and even (gasp) learn something.

I went to the classes that I was interested in. Never studied much, but just enough. I went for a horse racing degree, I think I had a 3.5 or so for my major and minor, and not nearly as well for the gen-ed's. But i didnt care about the gen-ed's and only went when I had too. It was just an amazing experience. I was able to study the Irish Horse industry in Limerick, Ireland for a semester and that experience will only be bettered if I have a child or win the derby (or both!!). I friggin love Ireland. I should move back there and work there! I just miss the college atmosphere, the "no worries" and the friends. I really want to go back, eventhough I know it would never be the same.
