I made an A!

First test in Nursing 1: Done...I made an A! Woo-Hoo! Ahhh...glad that's over. Next one is in three weeks. Working on my diversity project right now. Having to find out facts about three world religions (Islam, Lutheran and Oriental (Eastern) Orthodoxy). Be glad when I'm finished. Not that I'm not finding out some interesting things, just gets kind of boring digging through the sites to find the little tidbits of info I need. I'm more of a science and math kind of girl. Not religion and history. In two weeks we'll all get together and compare notes. The religious groups we're studying include Roman Catholic, Hinduism, Conservative Judaism, Southern Baptist Convention, Buddhism, Russian Orthodox Christianity, Seventh Day Adventists, Orthodox Judaism, Shinto, Mormon, Presbyterian (USA), Baha'i and my three. Should be quite entertaining...
Today is the first day of fall...I'm ready for it! Doesn't really feel like it, though. Today is pretty humid (it's been raining for about a week now) and it's about 80 degrees. Not hot, but muggy. Should be a fun (sticky) walk this afternoon.
Guess that's all for now...Happy 1st Day of Fall!

Success!

Sweet Freedom wasn't due to be uncorked until September 30th...but we tried a bottle one month into aging (not so great) and another one earlier this evening. It's 10 days before the big 'uncorking,' but curiosity got the best of me and I popped another one open. Success! It's tasty! We are so excited our first batch of wine doesn't suck! Especially after the funky 'young' taste it had less than two months ago...we were going to be really upset if 30 potentially drinkable bottles of wine were all for naught. But patience apparently IS a virtue and aging works wonders! Looking forward to trying a 6-month bottle and a 1 year bottle...supposedly just keeps getting better. Of course, most wines should be consumed within a few years of bottling. Only the really 'special' ones can be aged for decades. Otherwise they turn to vinegar. Then I guess they are good for cooking. I myself would rather drink them while cooking. :) So, next time you're in the vicinity or I'm in yours, we'll have to have a little tasting.
On the school front...things are going well. Working WAY less than expected, but probably another blessing in disguise. My first exam is Monday...looking forward to it, but a little anxious at the same time. Actually set my alarm for 0530 this morning to start my last leg of studying. Planning on a 0600 am wake up call tomorrow to finish it off. I can get a lot more done when I'm not tempted by MI winning football games (Go Blue!!!!) and wanting to hang out with Lon. Those are my favorite times...that's why studying is better when he's asleep and there's nothing good on TV. ha, ha, ha! Did schedule in some breaks from the books to have breakfast (break with Lon), have lunch (check out game...we won!), went for a walk (between storms) and then took the evening off for relaxing and dinner. Tomorrow has its own schedule too...kinda have to do that. Makes the sitting down with books and a computer more doable...knowing something fun is coming up shortly.
Guess that's enough for now...time for bed.
