    Not sure if anyone realized it or noticed but I have not been around very much since Christmas. That is because I am so freakin' busy with school and work I have no spare time. I do make time to water and tend to the 'kids needs but it is fast approaching the season to repot and divide ;)

    Well I guess it is good I graduate in 4 weeks now! I am so looking forward to finally finishing.

    Well going back to work on 1 of my 10 papers I have left to do before I am finished!

    Thanks Alexis and Karen. After 2 years of non-stop school and working full time is really is nice to see that light at the end of the tunnel! I am holding a 3.974 GPA too!

    Pook - I am attending Alvernia University to get my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. I already had a 2-year degree in IT but since I always ended up in a management position I knew the business degree would go nice with my technical degree and all my technical certifications.

    I will be persuing my Masters at Syracuse University back in the IT field but decieded I needed a year off so I will start that in 2011

    Well I did it! I am finished with all my classes and I officially graduate next weekend.

    Now I will have some much needed time too start the task of repotting and dividing. I am also going to finally start building a new grow space in the basement too. Sort of a graduation present to myself ;)
