Yesterday I got the final grade in the mail for my college telecourse I took this year. As I've said previously, I've decided that returning to college to get a degree is vital to me going any further up the food chain.

So..anyways, my main point here is that telecourses are really difficult. I mean, I really was trying my best but between work and Connor I have to admit I was procrastinating a lot. Had I tried this when I was younger I can almost 100% promise that I would have failed and/or done very poorly.

I did get an A, but it was by the skin of my teeth. Literally one point, and only because the professor for this class gives you a bonus 10 points if you turn all the papers in on time. It's really important to me though to do well. Plus it will help with scholarships when I change schools.

Funny thing about age, it makes that D you got in English 101 so many years ago really bother you. I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging....I'm really not. It was only one telecourse, and for what most would consider an easy class. It's just that I have such a hard time with school in general, add to that work and wanting to spend time with my son. Plus I had help, Jen carved out additional time for me, and also helped me by reading all my rough drafts. It's amazing how useful a second set of eyes can be on a paper.

Now if I can just get my bosses boss to sign off on the paperwork to reimburse me for the class, I can afford to sign up for another one for spring.

- I've also been following a photo blog called "The Daily Coyote" about a woman who has adopted a wild coyote baby and how he's growing. She's also quite a skilled photographer, so just about every picture she posts is amazing. If you like animals you want to check this out.

- Donna sent this to me in an email, and while I don't really want to get into the whole christ in christmas debate, it does echo a belief I have.....call a spade a spade. All this politically correct crap is annoying. It's an interesting video so check it out.
