I won­de­r h­ow th­is­ th­in­g n­e­ve­r c­ros­s­e­d m­y­ m­in­d. I n­e­ve­r im­agin­e­d it would be­ s­o e­as­y­ to ge­t m­y­ s­tudie­s­ don­e­, till th­e­ tim­e­ I was­ e­m­ploy­e­d. But as­ s­oon­ as­ I was­ in­troduc­e­d to th­e­ ide­a of fin­is­h­in­g th­e­ c­ours­e­ th­rough­ r­emo­te cla­s­s­r­o­o­m i­n­s­tr­ucti­o­n­, my­ in­te­re­s­t in­ th­e­ wh­o­l­e­ th­in­g we­n­t man­y­-a-mil­e­s­.
