Hey, Lee. I know what you mean. It feels like when my Dad kept telling me, "You need to get your typing class done first... you never know!" It turned out he was so right. I used my typing class from the very beginning. And even now, when I am do...

I am heavily… Continue

Back on track

Sorry its been awhile, the last couple weeks have been filled with getting my financial aid, finding an apartment, moving and starting school. Now that my 2nd week is almost complete, I can start thinking again.

I hope we can get more people in here and more information flowing through and around it.

Till next time!
