Two Week Road Trip & Odds 'N Ends

Today is my last day at home for the next two weeks. I'm heading on down to South Carolina for a couple of weeks. We are conducting a functional exercise in Darlington, SC, on Wednesday, and a full scale exercise in Columbia June 1-2. The highlight of this trip is going to be Memorial Day weekend, as I'll be spending that in Myrtle Beach. I hope it will be a good time, I've never been there before. It will be a long road trip, but hopefully, it will be a successful trip. Once these two exercises are over, I will be a happy camper, both have caused some undue stress, that, on days, I could've lived without. One thing is for sure though, it will be good to be out of DC for a couple of weeks. My hope is both exercises go well though.

On a different note, things seem to have gotten a little bit more interesting on the homefront. My brother is intent on marrying his girlfriend, which is all fine and dandy, I'm quite happy for him, as a matter of fact, however, the rents, in particular my mother, is showing their dissatisfaction with this course of action. I can understand why they are concerned, but I really think she should lay off a little, as my brother has already made his mind up on this matter, he truly wants to marry the gal, and I don't think she should be giving him so much grief about it. That's one reason that I'm glad that I'm going to be out of town for the next two weeks, so I won't have to hear too much about this, so that will be nice.

Grad School Has Begun

This week I started up with my graduate program to get my MBA. I'm taking a business ethics course as one of my undergraduate pre-requisites. It's going to be quite a bit of reading for the next eight weeks. It appears to be an interesting class, just based on what the discussion topics are going to be. The downside is that the class meets twice a week for three hours at a time. We got out early on Monday, so it iddn't seem too long. However, yesterday's class seemed to go by quickly, it didn't seem like we were even in there for three hours. I'm going to miss the next two weeks of class though, as I'm going to be out of town for work for two exercises in South Carolina. The plus side to all this is the professor is being quite accommodating to me in this regard. I'm going to be permitted to take the quiz that is next Wednesday when I get back into town, and she is going to permit me to turn my paper that's due on the 1st electronically and give my presentation the first day of class that I'm back in town.

Both exams are going to be administered online, and we can take those at home, and they are open book open note. Hopefully, with that being said, I won't have too many difficulties in getting an A in this class. We shall see though. I know, David, you're going to say that I don't have anything to worry about. This is my first class in five years though.

Great News!!!!

I know that I haven't posted anything in quite some time. I've actually been quite busy with work, I can't count how much I've been on the road the past 30 days. However, today is a day for celebration. I found out this morning that I got accepted into grad school! I will start classes up later on this month. I'm very thrilled about this prospect. Right now I'm enjoying the elation without worrying about how much hard work this is going to entail and how much it's going to cost. I'm just letting this soak in for a bit.
