Today it's time for more news. After 5 weeks of intense agony, suffering, and stress, I have completed my first course in the University of Phoenix Business Management Program! Only a few people knew that I was even attempting this on top of my normal crazy schedule and I made them take the oath of secrecy. They are now free to talk!

I just decided that now was the time to complete my degree. I've thought about it for years but due to my schedule, no school would take me except for an online program. I wasn't sure I would have the discipline to do it and at times I was sure that I was on the brink of collapse. Well, I'm still on the brink but that's normal at this point.

So, I did class one and I'm signed up for class two in July. I don't know how this happened but I ended up with an A in the class. Homer - the math thing hasn't come full circle yet but I received points for taking the test, regardless of that sad outcome! Yes, Homer had to try and tutor me in basic algebra and graphs. He was patient but I'm a lousy math student. Formulas escape me.

1 class down, 17 to go!

    "y = mx + b" is the formula for what and what does "m" represent?

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
