Hey kiddo,
Attached are the specs and addies for a couple of online courses offered by several of the more reputable medical schools. Go through them, take your pick. I've also spoken to a few colleagues who are more than happy to online tutor you, and augment the above courseload - once they saw your academic record, they were falling over themselves to take you on.
The gaps still left can be filled by me, in return for coffee, donuts and you TA-ing for me as discussed. Sounds like a deal? Remember, this is all very adaptable - if it doesn't work, or you decide to try going back to school (no pressure, kiddo, just covering all possibilities), then that can be done as well.
See you in the medlab sometime? I'm in the middle of drawing up the class schedule for Biology and Anatomy, and I could do with a timely distraction.
Madelyn.

It's a mark of just how much I like you that I let you call me that, boss-lady.
Well, also a mark of just how much flattery will let you get away with. They were not falling over themselves! Stop that! I'll, um, try not to make them wait long, just the same. For the sake of promptness, of course.
Still willing to do the TA thing. Very, very willing. Just tell me where to be and when to be there.
I'll spend the day flipping through these things, and come down with some coffee and/or donuts for a visit to let you know what I think. Or to make you help me decide. Either way, coffee and/or donuts.
Thanks, Mads.

Bah to your modesty - it's not flattery, and you should know it. You're a clever girl, Cecilia, and the general agreement was we shouldn't let someone like you go to waste. I've attached the email addresses of the relevent people. Frank Coburn is a crusty old sort, but a very smart man, and he appreciates intelligence in others. Be upfront with him, and he'll adore you. Joyce Tan is a complete dear, but don't let that fool you - she'll bury you in work at the slightest provocation.
Somehow I don't think this will be a bad thing. *grins*
I'll send you the schedule once it's done - if you take the First Aid and one of the biology classes, that'll free me up to do the anatomy and the other biology - you prefer the older kids or the younger ones?
Coffee and donuts - this is the continuation of a beautiful friendship, I think.
Maddie.

I'm being encouraged to be upfront, and can look forward to being buried under work? That 'squee'ing noise you can hear in the basement is me. Sorry about that. Ahem.
The younger kids, given the choice. Definitely the younger kids. I like younger kids. But don't tell anybody I said that, as I would be forced to deny it.
