quasigeostrophyOn the way back from the dentist this morning (it’s almost a 90-minute drive, so plenty of thinky time) I was thinking about turning 46 next Wednesday while still being in school. I wondered if I had been in school for half of all that. So I did a little arithmetic:
- 12 years primary & secondary school at Warren Township Schools in Indianapolis, first through twelfth grades, 1972 – 1984.
- 5 years at Purdue in West Lafayette and IUPUI in Indy resulting in a B.A. in Liberal Arts (Communication) from IU, 1984 – 1989.
- 1 year at Ball State in Muncie for an M.S. in Information and Communication Science, 1990 – 1991.
- 0.5 years at IUPUI as make-up/prep for returning to Purdue in 2006.
- 3 years at Purdue for an M.S. in Atmospheric Science, 2006 – 2009.
- 2.5 years and counting at Purdue for a Ph.D. in progress, 2009 – ? (targeting a finish date of December 2012).

24 years of school. Yep. Just over half my life. Is it any wonder I’m getting antsy to be finished?
