Back in the winter of '08, I signed up for a Kirkwood Community College, continuing-education, once-a-week, 6-week, night school course called "Electronics for the Homeowner." I even signed up my P.I.C., knowing that a buddy system would make me even more eager to go. I should have taken it as an omen that I felt like I needed company. Because I didn't even get past week 2. I tried to blame it on the ripping-cold weather that winter. I tried to blame it on Guy, our instructor who was teaching the class for the first time. (He pronounced his name Guy as in "The Family Guy," but I for some reason couldn't stop pronouncing it the French way.) I tried to blame it on the lack of proper equipment. But in the end, I didn't have any excuses. I'm just a Kirkwood Community College, continuing eduction, night school "Electronics for the Homeowner" dropout. Sigh. Take heart, Emily.
