I'm a Penguin...



Today was my first day at Clark...again. I went back in '97. I didn't finish my AA, so I am now. I am signed up for 10 credits/2 classes. Ugh! I hope that I have the diligence needed to do as well as I'd like. I am doing them both by telecourse, meaning there is no in-class teachings. One of the classes has tests each week, but otherwise, my nose will be in books and study cards, in the computer and watching videos. Fun times!


I want to teach my kids the importance of education, but to admit to them that I didn't even finish my 2 year degree would seem incongruent of that. Chris hasn't stopped going to school since he was 5. He is attending Western Seminary in Portland and has a ways to go before he earns his Masters in Divinity! So, here begins the journey..... again. :-) I have taken a quiz already today (after doing a couple hours of reading) and I got 5 out of 5. Not too shabby!

Hi Robin, Tam is busy eating dinner so I am commenting. We like to see how our friends are doing and I for one am also into education and learning. I'm glad you're going back to school. You should do well I'm sure of it. I actually did better when I went for my masters in education. So I guess the more degrees you get the easier school becomes (learn how to take tests without knowing the entire answer to the questions) :) Aloha from Hawaii!!
