I don't mind being wrong...

Especially when It's in my favor! How does a "D" in Science turn into a "B-" ? Don't know, don't ask. Just take it and RUN.... So my official grades are lower than I expected. But, well within a good GPA. Business B, English A, Pluralism and Diversity B, Science B-.. Like I said, no questions on the Science thing... Just gonna Shhhhh.... right along here... and hope.....no one notices....

GPA - Currently 3.175 - Is that good?

Next up~ Algebra for Beginners, English Comp II, Business Ethics, and Marketing.

Now that I've had some time to think about what happened with the Winter session classes, I'm OK. I'm good with it now. I fought the blues with a stint of retail therapy!
And that's all I've got to say about that........ Untill I post pictures, Of course.

Winter Session Classes II

I'm trying to keep up with other posts that I've written here. I did in fact drop my winter session classes. There were a lot of tears involved because I am an emotionally volatile woman. Having a hearing impairment, and dealing with limitations can drain you emotionally. I hate having a hearing impairment. I'm sure many of us do. I seem to have a more difficult time with it when it makes me look bad, though. At least this is how I perceive the situation. I've stopped feeling sorry for myself and I'm considering transferring to a more Hearing impaired friendly scenario.
Rochester Institute offers on line courses. They also have a deaf campus for deaf and hard of hearing students. While I don't think that traveling that far would work, the online courses may be just what I need. I need to feel confident in my work, and get many more A's... Since my science class won't transfer credits because of the d, I'm OK with taking another online science course. maybe something environmental or sound centered. While I am considering RIT, I haven't committed to it yet. I have more thinking to do, and advice from people I trust to go over and review.

Apology

I'm sorry for all the bright colors. I realized just how difficult it must be to read while having a blaring pink screen distract you! Since the purpose of the blog is to attract readers not scare you away, I've decided to keep it simple. Let the posts themselves be the attraction, not the color.

Ice Storm

I figured I would test out my new camera on the ice covered trees outside today. I think I've captured just what I hoped. The Japanese Maple is my favorite but the pine looks nice too.

Winter Session Classes

For those of you who don't understand what it's like to have a hearing impairment, be glad. I am very disappointed in the thought that I may have to cancel my winter session classes because both of my teachers are women with light voices. Since I've lost my high end hearing it is especially difficult hearing "chicks". Even with hearing aids. I'm going to attempt to make adjustments and hope they work. Otherwise, I may have to cancel out these classes. Stay tuned for more drama. On the flip side, dropping off the kids and coming home to nap might not be such a bad idea...

Th view on the drive home

I really wish I could tell you how I felt at this point. The mountains in the distance, are so pretty! Both pictures were taken at the same spot. Now you can see why I chose this camera!

The Birkshire mall

I just liked the art that was in the Birkshire, Massachusetts Mall. It towers over an area where stores intersect. The trip was very nice, and quiet. I ate this morning at a cute bakery / cafe in Lenox called "Haven" . The food was fabulous, I had the spinach lasagna. And a cappuccino to rival starbucks! I don't think that waiting for the food made it worthwhile though. after an hour and people who were in back of us on line got their food, we checked to see where our was. My lasagna was cold, I was disappointed. But starving! It tasted great so i overlooked it's chill factor and ate the entirety. I didn't have room for the brownie I picked out when we were in line...sniffle. It got to be too late in the day to go over to West Hartford School for the deaf. I was disappointed but, I plan on taking another trip up there just for that. The drive home was pretty. I took a different route than I had taken to Massachusetts. I posted other pics of the bridge that scared the crap out of me. All in all a very nice trip, and I got my filet at Dakota, too. Very happy about that!
