What a great day I had, but now my brain and eyes are going to rest this evening!!!!! Today I went to something called JumpStart at Southeast Tech. It was not the first day of classes, but rather the day to pick up our laptops, work out the kinks in our schedules, learn some more about our programs of study, and actually do some work with how the use of technology on our school's technology system.
Pretty certain I am the oldest student in this department, but I do have more computer knowledge regarding the software than many of the younger students. It should be fun to see if I feel that way after a couple of weeks in class. Also, I know that I am probably more focused on being there to learn than some, and I know that 8:00 class times don't make me grumpy! I have set a few specific goals aimed at developing our business.
Textbooks cost more than my first semester of school in 1971 - $600
Odd thing happened today. About half way through the day one of the instructors asked if I had ever lived in Sioux Falls when I was younger and followed up by asking my husband's name. We discovered that we had lived in the same apartment building in 1977 and that we had spent lots of time together with the other families in the building and at the complex pool. I have been revisiting those fond memories for several hours. Sure is a small world - makes me wonder why I ever lost touch with all those wonderful people.
Got a update on my HQ16. Apparently I should have received more parts when I ordered so now I have to wait for them to be shipped an put together. GRRRR!!! Will I have to pay for this additional service since the place that is working on my machine is where I purchased the frame, etc? The man servicing the machine said that he could not see any problems except the fact that we needed this part. (It should have been shipped with the frame and carriage.) Don't misunderstand, though, I love my HQ16 - just get irritated when people don't do the right thing the first time. =0(
