    I'm excited!!

    I'm starting a new class at Harvard University tomorrow! Woo Hoooo!!!! I could have gone for a non-credit class and thought, noooo, I'm gonna prove that a 50 year old can compete with those young techno nerds at Harvard.. and try to keep my 4.0 record alive for grad school. Yikes.. wish me luck!

    Oh.. what's really cool! It's a distance learning class by video... 4.0 units.. full credit. The downside... definitely expensive but something that I have to do to keep my skills up!! Yikes!!! But, the upside, a better course than I can get at my local universities here in California that are all cutting back due to finances.

    Wish me luck!

          Way to go Jill! You know, older students are the better students. More determined to prove ourselves and prove to ourselves. You will ace it again, I'm sure. Good luck, and congrats on your bravery! Jill, wife of Bob
