Here I go again...

So I just finished registering for the Fall 2011 semester at UWF online!  I'm totally excited and nervous at the same time.  The classes I registered for are Personal Computer Applications, Java Programming, Information Sources for Business Decisions, and Introduction to Philosophy.  I really wanted to take Intro to Religions but it was not available.  I am hoping they will offer Modern Astronomy for my non-lab science class but it wasn't available for the Fall. :(  I am all set up on what I need to take.  I really only have a couple general studies courses to take toward my Bachelor's degree: English Comp II, Pre-Calc Algebra, Elements of Statistics, Intro to Philosophy, and the Modern Astronomy class.  The rest of the courses I have to take are all core courses. VERY EXCITED!!!!

Procrastination and rambling thoughts

So there were "ifs and's or buts" seeing as how I still have not begun working on my table runner.  I really have been busy with other things; chief among them being I have submitted my application for admittance to UWF (University of West Florida) for a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Information Technology: Networking and Telecommunications.  All classes will be taken online, which will keep me pretty busy, but I'm excited as well.  I have a lot of experience taking online classes since my AA in Business Management was all completed online with the University of Phoenix.  My transcripts have been received so I am just waiting on the acceptance (fingers crossed).  The only thing that may hold me back is that in the state of Florida, it is a requirement that every Undergraduate have 2 years of foreign language, which I do not have.  I will have to take a foreign language locally but I'm hoping UWF will allow me to begin classes while taking the language courses at my local college.
I have also spent more than a few hours today searching quilt patterns for ideas and ran across a site I had long forgotten about Quiltville by Bonnie K. Hunter and her gorgeous version of the Dear Jane quilt in pink with storm at sea sashing.  I now know what quilt I want to make using controlled fabric colors (yes, I am afraid of the stash of scraps I have accumulated lol).  I'm very excited to start thinking about and planning my own version. Check out Bonnie's version: In the Pink (Dear Jane at Sea).  I much prefer the quilt with the storm at sea sashing.  It is just beautiful!

I  have also been reading a lot more lately, something I have truly missed.  At one point in my life that is all I did, work and read.  I was never seen without a book in my hand. With all the hectic issues going on in my life the last 10 years or so it is rare to see me reading.  Usually, it is Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, and Bentley Little books, but thanks to my romance-a-holic mother purchasing a "new age" romance series written by Melissa Mayhue I have been speed reading through her Daughters of the Glen series and am currently reading Highlanders Curse the eighth book in the series and thoroughly enjoying them.  If you are into romance, hunky Scotland Highlanders, and "fae magic" please check out this series, I promise you will love the characters and storylines.

Think I will get offline for a while and spend some quality time with the fam.  Thanks to Netflix we have "You Again" waiting to be watched.  I heard it was a really cute and funny movie.  Anything with Betty White, Sigourney Weaver, and Jamie Lee Curtis in it has to be funny. :)  Until next time.
