Sheesh. You have NO idea how many times I had to re-type the word "profile" just now. Prfile. Prfle. Proflei. You get the idea. ARGH!
And this pic is an extreme close up, I know. What can I say? I'm a perfectionist who won't let anyone hold the camera for me.
I'm currently a straight "A" student with a 99% average in one of my classes and a 100% average in my other class. (My third class won't start until late October) I am SOOOOOOO proud of myself and thought I'd do a little bragging here on the ol' blog.
This is proof that I'm just not suited to the standard classroom learning environment. Distance education, most specifically internet based distance education is exactly the kind of environment in which I excel. I don't have to drive to a campus and find parking, I don't have to walk around like a madwoman trying to find things on my first day...I don't have the hassle of 8am classes (though I start class every day at 9am, but that's beside the point!) I have the freedom to move at my own pace, as long as my assignments get submitted by their due dates. Its ideal and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity!
I feel very lucky and I'm very thankful.
So, there's this online petition out there on the web trying to get a million signatures in support of a person's right to marry whoever they want. The fact that we're not allowed to is just mind-boggling. Please check out the site and sign, if you're in support. Below is the text of the petiton.
"I do support the right of every American to marry, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender couples. I believe that marriage and other civil rights protections are essential to making all families safer and more secure.
By signing this petition, I agree to support efforts to make marriage equality a reality in our country, and to oppose any attempts to discriminate against GLBT couples and individuals."
