Back to School, and I don't mean teaching
Dear loyal readers.
Well, here's an interesting development.
I've returned to school in pursuit of a Master's Degree in military history. As a result I'm spending what had been leisure time reading and preparing to write papers. I'm "attending" (that is virtually) American Military University, so the entire experience is online.
The bad news is that I'll only be posting to this blog once a week.
There's a big upside however, which I'll talk about at a later date.
Right now I'm trying to rediscover the rhythm of being a student again.
Wish me luck. I welcome any questions or comments.
Justine, drop me a line.
More later.
Must go read.
Mannie

YOU GO MANNIE! Go read that is. I know your journey will be a joy. Learning by choice is a great motivation. Will be interested in what topics you study and your papers. If you need a proof reader let me know!
Hang tough Mannie. You'd be surprised how much those books make sense after a good nap!

Just be glad you're not taking any classes from Professor Hoptak!

Good luck with your studies.

Good luck in your pursuit of higher education. If you approach your studies with the same vigor and enthusiasm that is demonstrated in your other undertakings, you will surely be successful.
