Much better day than yesterday.  Got a little more organized, got a little more done, got a little more school under my belt.  The S.O.S. group met (Students Offering Support).  That is such a vital group to the learning that occurs in Adult, Higher and Community Education at BSU.  Granted there are fabulous classroom lectures and discussions and more reading than you can shake a stick at, but I gain the most from hearing the stories of those who have gone before or are just ahead of me in the process.  I value experiential learning greatly and having a nice cup o' Joe and hearing about successes or places to sidestep are wonderful things.  We are trying to meet the first Wednesday of the month in the dining area to the east (toward McKinley) of Jamba Juice in AJ.  It's informal, friendly and come-as-you-are and share your fears, questions and answers.  Wednesday night class and then crash-n-burn when I got home.  I have got to keep my carcass out of the media room.  The "slow glow electronic sex in the window" (Christmas Story major award) can still be translated to the TV in our house.  I become as helpless as the chicken with the chalk line drawn in front of it's beak on the ground.  I have to resist the urge to stop and keep going at least another couple of hours to make this semester work.  Arghhhhhh....
