[...] I wrote about this last year when I took advantage of the environmental lecture up at Cornell and was sitting in a room full of award winning environmentalists, Cornell faculty and students learning about the future of environmental architecture and sustainable city planning for the next generations.

I stumbled upon your blog via someone elses (can’t think right now)…but I wanted to say that I really enjoyed this post. Lately I have been thinking about how much I miss academia, but then for the same reasons as you, I realize that I at the same time I don’t! I do however hope to return to school just I can finish my BA.

Oh I lovelovelove this post!! It’s so true! I unschooled thru high school and only attended a trade school for massage. But my learning is unlimited since then simply because I’m interested. We live in such an age of information, all right at our fingertips. The only thing lacking is interest, inspiration, freedom to discover it! And like you said, without debt!! lol
