These Certain Musings

While Dev was at work last Friday, I met with the guidance counselor of the high school I'd want him to attend.  The woman had been quite happy to set the meeting with me.  Even so, I went armed with print-outs of statutes governing homeschool/public school interactions, requirements and the like.  Experience had taught me to expect resistance at best and derision at worst.

Barring unforeseen problems, Dev will take electives at that high school, beginning after the winter break.  As long as his grades--online and in-class--stay up, he can do all extracurricular activities.

I'm not certain which one of us is more excited about it!

Today I received word that all my course petitions were awarded full credit.  The only class I need to finish is the one I'm currently taking.  It will wrap up in a little over four weeks, and though there are a couple large projects, it's nothing difficult.

The credits haven't shown up on my transcript yet.  I won't quite believe the credit award until they do, but I'm acting as if I'll be finished with school by the end of February.  Twenty-odd years to complete a four year degree.  Sheesh. 

I will celebrate the first full week of March, in Hawaii.  Really.  (Okay, it's a work-related trip but--Hawaii!)

There was one note in the course evaluation that made me laugh.  "There are a few instances in which the student has overstated the role of nutrition in health and wellness."  That's a bit like saying, "The writer has overstated the role of words in creating a story."

No revision progress today.  Yet.  Let's see what I can manage before weariness takes over.
