<p>Being an engineering major who was invited to find another major, which I did by 3pm (Political Science), I had short shrift in Humanities classes. Several years after I graduated, I started taking English Lit classes through UCLA Extension and ultimately petitioned into taking some classes for Extension credit in the regular UCLA program. I was the oldest student in a seminar on Henry Fielding and I was a <em>much</em> better student by that time than I was when I had been in college “for real.” I imagine that if I found myself in class today, I’d be an even better student. My time management has improved of necessity and my standards of what constitutes “good enough” have gone up considerably. I’d be the type who would have a hard time scaling an assignment to a 5-10 page paper instead of 20.</p>
<p>Hah. We <em>are</em> of an age, to the year.</p>
