In the Hive

I got a 97% on my midterm!!!

Friday night we had a fondue dessert with some friends. It was rainy weekend here. I stayed home with a cold and did a bit of work on my essay for school!

For our first essay in english composition class, we had to write a paper about a place that was special to us or had an impact on us. I chose to write about my experience on Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. It was quite a nerve wracking trip for me! You can read my essay below! A Bridge Too High In the western mountains of North Carolina, there is an awe-inspiring place called Grandfather Mountain.

Here I am, just hanging at the college reading short stories before class starts.

Boy oh boy, do I feel like a fish out of water!! It's been a long time since I was in the classroom - I graduated in 1987 and only had one college course since then.... Lots of interesting folks on campus!

I sewed up another "curtain" this am to hide my bookshelves and I rode my bike. Now I have got to get a move on and get to college for orientation!

I took my placement tests today and registered for Fall classes. AJ took a picture of our college id's together!

Andrew got his acceptance letter from the University of Pittsburgh!  He is not sure if this is his final choice or not yet, but it is the first school he got a response from!
