After a long couple years, the graduation is over.  Today I graduated the University of Oklahoma putting a lot of stressful times away.  This is tough enough when you are 18 years old but when you are 43 and have a full family life and a full time job, it makes it even more of [...]

It has been a couple weeks since I have posted anything on here so I thought I may update what has been going on.  As most of you know, I have been going to the University of Oklahoma for the last couple of years and I am going to graduate this coming weekend.  I made [...]

The last week started off with the dreaded call when I was at work on April 10th that my grandmother had passed away.  She had been in the hospital for 45 days after having a severe stroke on March 1st.  The previouse week my sister and her family was here from Illinois to attend my brother [...]

This has been an unusually busy month with many high priority things going on at once.  I am on the home stretch with my University of Oklahoma degree as I just received my graduation application yesterday.  This month is the busiest month of the year at my work.  We have a conference that lasts this [...]

I have always prided myself in not being a procrastinator with my school work.  In recent days I have become just that.  I have waited until the last minute to get anything done and that really bothers me.  I do not like to wait until the last minute to do anything.  In fact I usually [...]

There is one thing that really makes me mad and that is the racket that is our educational system.  If you are a citizen of Oklahoma you may or may not have noticed that we are continuously being told that we have one of the lowest paid teachers in America.  We are always given this [...]

Many of you may remember it was June 27, 2007 that I posted a letter of frustration about tuition going up nearly ten percent in one semester at the University of Oklahoma. Tuition goes up every semester and a ten percent jump is outrageous. Well they did it again. Here is the email that I [...]
