Awakening

The weather is cold and rainy.  I don’t mean a drizzly, steady rain.  I mean a pouring buckets rain!  We are due 2 to 3 inches in the next 12 to 18 hours.  THAT is a lot of water which will result in small stream flooding and more likely than not, the river overflowing its [...]

Did you ever notice that when it has been some time since your last entry, you are reluctant to write?  Why is that?  It’s rather silly.  Or that you feel like you need to defend yourself to your readers as to why you’ve not posted an entry?  LOL!
I learned a very interesting thing from my [...]

News: Good & Bad

Good news:
1)  One must have 34 credit units to graduate from Muhlenberg College, where I am a student.  One class equals one credit unit.
2)  One may transfer in a maximum of 17 credit units.  I was able to transfer in 16.
3)  I am registered for spring ‘08 semester; taking a required history class (Reading Seminar) [...]

Back to School

Tonight started the Fall semester.  If all goes according to plan, it will be my LAST Fall semester as I hope to be all done with the under-grad degree by next August!
The class I attended tonight was Elementary Spanish.  Now mind you, I’ve had 4 years of high school Spanish - 30 years ago.  Actually, [...]

Finite!!!

Took my final in Ancient Rome.  I’ve never been so glad to see a class come to an end as I have this one.  Too bad.  I was really excited to take it and it turned out to be a dud.
Now I have “rest” for the next 13 days.
School’s out……………………..!
