Here's a Scary thought

[Merry]

This fall I begin my post graduate work to finally....finally finish my phd in education. (post hole digger!) It's always a bit scary going back and doing this sort of thing, but then I guess 'Dr. Merry' sounds a bit scary, too...Whoo-hoo! Cookies all around !

[wgjones3]

Dr. Merry? Hmmm. Somehow the Dr. fits. ;)

Got the details ironed out yet? What school? What timeframe (I worked for a guy who took something like 8 years to get his doctorate in education--and the the silly thing decided he'd rather be a psychologist so he started working on a masters in that a week or two later :eek: )

[Merry]

Still working out the details as we are still going over about how much 'life credits' they want to allow me. However, it should still be in the area of three years. I've been at it off and on, so it's now or never, more or less.. :D Yeah, the Dr. does seem to fit :o, but I was thinking, it could be more of an explanation of why I do the things I do, as in, "much learning hath made thee mad.." :D :D

[Mr. Otis]

I'll have the fudge brownies with peanut butter chips. The Merry Doctor--nice ring!

[Merry]

Hey, I like that! :D Just make sure you save the peanut butter cookies for FireFeet. Hey, I hope you don't mind, Mr. Otis, you cracked me up so well when you invaded the birthday thread with your winnebago, that I made up a purely non-fairy tale Dude and introduced him to the 'Wonderland' site. Last I checked, this wood nymph was begging him to stay. Anyway, thanks for the idea, definitely Mr. Otis inspired.

And on a far more serious note(however, if I start sounding like a stuffy educationalist, shoot me) these are some people I plan on helping out:

[Mr. Otis]

I am honored!

[FireFeet]

FireFeet pokes her head through the door and asks, "Did I smell brownies on this thread?" :D

Congrats DOCTOR Merry!

[Merry]

Merry's eyes bug..."Oh no, FireFeet, not DOCTOR Merry yet. See? I must spend more years trying to sound academic," she says chuckling while doing a little spin. "And I have to write a big paper, possibly on the reason's one must pitch marshmallows at children. Tra-la-la...or it could be on training children to make the teacher brownies...ah.. :cool: " Merry's eyes light up, "I like that! :D Oh, well, time to briggle down the boggie trove, or whatever the heck we do...Ow, dang it! I just stubbed my toe..."
