I Passed!

Howdeee! Congrats Tammy! I can't wait til it's my turn. I have the equivalent of one semester done out of a two year degree, (Eeyore says, "whoopee").

Due to a dumb mistake on my part I came close to failing English Comp. This is sad cuz I like English! I have 60 points of 1,000 to come in yet, but what I was really waiting for was the grade on a 150 pt essay. My TA was having tech difficulties and didn't get her feedback to me on my draft in time, so I edited it to the best of my abilities and I got 129, which is 86%. YEA!!! Overall I should end up with a C in this class, which would still give me about a B+ so far.

Now I'm in CompII and it's a lot more work, but it's also challenging and exciting. I have a new essay due every week. This week I have to pick a controversial topic and stand up for "my" side. Other than having issues with comma use I expect a decent grade in this class.

Mom has had her ears checked out twice and on Tues. she is having an MRI done on her left ear. There is a possiblity of a tumor (non-cancerous), so they want to check it out. I'm working Tues. and have my 8-3 Dr.-lab-x-ray-and CT scan day Wed. I am not expecting any surprises.

I just might treat myself to another Valentine's Day dinner special at Coborn's. An 8 oz.steak, 4 oz. lobster, 18 oz potato, not kidding they're huge, a nice salad, and a roll for $9.99. Kathy and I went last nite and Mom might go tonite. If Kathy comes back she and Mom will do the all-u-can-eat salad bar for $6. That's with the wing bar.

Wow, time to quick yakin'. Take care, love ya. Lu
