Do tell.

Today's stone bumming, wrench in the works, fly in the ointment groove scorcher is the one course I am able to afford AND can fit into my work schedule, a single day marathon Biology class (with lab) is full. As are all other iterations of said class.

The chem classes (tricky as the one I actually need has two pre-req hoops to leap through) are all offered MTW 8-3 or MTWR 8-12.

I will see if I can do a math class, which will be needed for the physics I need to take, I'm sure.

It looks like I may have to wait until Fall to get this ball rolling, and that will push my brew school back to 2016. I may have to think outside the box as some have suggested. I'll see if the pope needs a right hand man. I'll also see if Davis will let me provisionally apply whilst class work is under way.

Groove status: Tenuous.

A friend of mine posted this on FB earlier:

Quote:
Our President has refused to send a representative to attend Margaret Thatcher's state funeral in Britain
He sent an contingent to communist dictator Hugo Chavez's funeral. He called for flags at half staff for drug addict Whitney Houston and nothing for "the American Sniper" war hero. A friend on my facebook wrote "I hope they ban assault weapons so we can sit in a restaurant without the fear of being gunned down"

Up is now down, wrong is right, the sky is purple and and people think our rights are privleges the government grants us.

I shake my head daily.
Of course, statements 1 and 3 are totally false. I don't know if he copied this from someone or what.

Quit fucking looking for shit that reinforces your beliefs. Comfort is not a bad thing, but just challenge yourself!

Are there similar brew programs elsewhere?

There are plenty of brew programs but I'd still need the math and science refresher to make heads or tails of them. It just pushes my plans back several months to a year. The Davis one seems to be the most comprehensive and lowest priced at ~20K when all is said and done. There is another program in Denmark that's about 45K for 18 weeks.

Not including airfare or accommodations!

If its a refresher you need not a requirement, how about online learning? Empire State College? Some SUNY classes are available on-line.

Proof of college level course work is required, although a degree is not. The math I can do online, but the lab courses, I cannot.

Niagara College? Associate degree program that sounds pretty good, and no more expensive than Davis.

That would be cool. ~ 8 grand tuition for a two year program, though also filled through 2014.

And I would probably have to learn to speak Canadian or do you think they teach in English?
