I just finished week 1 of my web development class(WEBD121) scored a 100 on the exam. To be realistic, I did not read much. This is a basic class and most anyone one with basic web experience would have done well. It was a good refresher.

I still have to develop what is now being called "Mind Mapping" which is really just an old fashioned outline to an essay, for my COLL100 class. I have to think a little more for this class. It's been a while since I had to worry about APA formats, spelling and grammar, all of which are a weakness of mine. :) I will get through it though.

I had one of the best MTB rides this evening at Umstead State Park. I started just before 4:30 and rode the outer loop counter clockwise. I consider that way more difficult then clockwise. The temperature was perfect and the wind was blowing hard. It just kept getting darker as I rode alone at dusk. I think it was a feeling of satifaction that came over me this evening. I could tell that the cross training and endurance rides are helping me to improve. I am not fast on a mountain bike, but I wasn't nearly as winded this evening as I have been in the past. Maybe it's the new bike, maybe it's the additional exercise or maybe it's both.

Depending on which time zone you are located, this is the 10th anniversary of my brother Robbie's death. If you are on Mountain Time, then it is tomorrow, but on eastern time, it is today.

I really don't want any comments, I'm just remembering.

I have decided to go back to college, yet again. I do have an Associates degree, but I never finished my bachelor's degree. I have tried a couple times many years ago, but my A.D.D would kick in and I would not finish. At that time I did not know I was A.D.D., however now I know and "Knowing is half the battle" (G.I. Joe). <-joke. This time I am doing this all online. I am trying the online college of "American Public University" http://www.apu.apus.edu/. I have many credits that should transfer, so I am hoping I don't have to take many general education or elective courses. I would like to concentrate mainly on my core classes of Information Technology.

Until my transcripts or evaluated, I have signed up for 2 classes. These classes are COLL100 Foundations of Online Learning and WEBD121 Web Development Fundamentals. The first is a required class of students entering the college. The second is a prerequisite class to most of my core classes.

Wish me luck. It's going to be a long journey.
