I went for dinner earlier tonight with Megan and some of her family to celebrate her second University degree (today was the convocation). So first of all, congratulations Megan! You now have two degrees before I have my first.
The dinner was good (Olive Garden) but the discussion was better. We talked about all sorts of things, but almost all the topics were problems that we were trying to figure out the cause of. Do students do poorly in school because of their parents? Why can’t you apply for a passport online? Things like that. I don’t think we were able to agree once! The discussion was really lively and interesting though.
As I thought about it more on the way home, it occurred to me that maybe there would be less problems for us to chat about if there was more thoughtful discussion taking place. A lot of times it seems like decisions are made without any real thought or discussion going into them.
Anyway, something to think about. Time to work on the essay I have due tomorrow!
You are only half right about the passports online. You can fill out the entire questionaire online but then you have to print it and send it in with your pictures. It beats having to write it all out by hand.
Thanks for the clarification. Would be nice to be able to submit online though too!
