Guest guest Posted August 22, 1999 Report Share Posted August 22, 1999 tina, Don't worry about brainfog, I've certainly noticed a difference in my sharpness but I just get my ideas slower(i'm a computer programmer). I do have to watch how much and what i do physically, if you're looking at long days, you may find yourself getting sicker. I think we should try live our lives to the fullest as long as we can.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 1999 Report Share Posted August 28, 1999 Dear group, Thanks to all who replied to my questions about college. I've taken the advice into consideration. I'm going to take classes part-time right now. I will take classes that will go either way in my decision, until I can make a better judgement on what I can handle. In the meantime (besides my existing job) I will be a clinical instructor in the Dental Hygiene Clinic in the college closest to me 4 hours a week. I think this will help me either way in the long run and help me make my decision: Dental School or Dental Hygiene Education. Thanks again for listening.
