Hello Everyone,

It looks as though we're really in for it coast to coast! I'm talking about the weather, of course.  We've got heavy rains and mudslides, (mudslides!), in California, flooding in Nevada, and tons and tons of snow from the Midwest to the East. I live in Illinois and I think that most of us here in the middle of the country will be having a white Christmas; however, a lot of us will be so busy this week trying to dig ourselves out that we won't be able to truly enjoy the beauty of it all.

Balance!

Hello again,

Since I started school again last week, I’ve found that trying to strike a balance between housework and schoolwork is tougher than I thought it would be; schoolwork seems to be winning!   I’m sure that this is because I have been devoting practically all of my time to my schoolwork rather than setting aside a certain number of hours to do it.  A reworking of my daily schedule is definitely in order.

Getting Started

Greetings Everyone!

I must admit that I've gotten off to a slower start with my blog than I would have liked, but here's hoping that I'll have smoother sailing from here on out.

I'm so glad that Dr. M. says that it's okay for us to work a little ahead because that's exactly what I plan to do.  I figure that if I manage this course in this way, I'll have more time to perhaps tweak some of my work if need be.  Here's hoping that we'll all be successful with our blogs as well as with the rest of our assignments! Best wishes to all!
