Business Exam # 2

Just finished my second assessment for Fundamentals in Business. Held my breath as I scrolled down to look at the score. Guess I did ok.......I got a 94/100. LOL! YEAH! I can breathe again........well atleast until I see more grades are up. Still have to finish my personal history but I got the worst of it done. Time for bed, I can work on it after church!


(On a side note, my girls were beautiful today and not just because they were dressed for Prom.)

Personal History

One of my assignments for this week is to write my personal history. Well it's always been replaying in my mind but while looking through papers for official APA formatting stuff, I found many poems I wrote when I was living in Michigan. A couple of them, I forgot about.

One poem was written to two couples who were in the process of getting a divorce. It's all said and done, the 4 have moved on away from each other.

The other one was written to my two oldest daughters just after they accepted the Lord as their Savior. That one put a tear in my eye. It was a nice moment for the three of us.

Grades and Funding

Well an update from yesterday, the last of the grades that were missing are in and I'm still doing well. YEAH! Got a few of my assignments done today and realized that I forgot about one, but it's not due until Sunday so I'm still good to go. Those left to finish are at least outlined to make it easy once I get to them.

As for funding, after a few phone calls and a little bit of don't talk to me, talk to this person then waiting for them to call me back...... I think we'll be good. I should be receiving a discount and that will help take half off of what I still owe for the semester if I figured it out correctly. It will just be a matter of a few penny pinching and then we'll be good for this round. As for next round, we're feeling pretty confident that it won't be as big of an issue.

For the one class, we have to write our personal history. Since I'm interested in our family tree and frustrated when I can't find out information, I'm really excited about this assignment. At least when my descendants continue the work, they will have a little bit of information. Can you imagine, years down the road the grandkids or great grandkids reading the story of my life from my own wording? I just get excited thinking about the connection they'll have.

Intro to Blog

HI all, just started this new blog thanks to the inspiration of my friend Randi. We're both in school together and I've been watching her post comments tracking her progress so figured I'd do one also.

It's kind of funny that in high school I was a wildcat and now in college I'm cougar. Both schools are very far apart in location. At least I'm safe, I married a bulldog so if I went to college with a dog mascot, I know I'd never hear the end of it.......which reminds me...... I wonder what the mascot is of the college my husband attends. I might have to check that out later.

Anyway, we're on week 4 of classes and it's going rather well. I'm getting kind of worried about the funding for it but know that somehow it will all work out. I am rather addicted to seeing what is going on in the classrooms. There's a few grades that haven't posted yet from last week, and one from the week before.

During this college adventure, I'm also working to create an online business. I'm kind of blocked though because I'm trying to come up with a business name. It's not necessarily one that I'll be doing business as. In other words, I'm thinking of a name for an umbrella. I've already worked out the names for some of the prongs of the umbrella which will be specific to the products I will be selling.
