Cabell,
Thanks! I think I'll need a lot of good luck with this exam.I
haven't quite finished studying for it yet. If I don't do well, I'm
dropping the class. I looked online today at next semester's
schedule and they are not offering either of the two classes that I
have left to graduate--so I could take this one again--and with a
different instructor, which would be good. We'll see how it goes
tomorrow.
I'd love to have a massage tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to be
packing (again) and doing some ironing. Actually thought about
going to the fair but heard on the news that only 42 out of 111
rides passed NC inspection today. I think I'll wait 'till next
weekend when they'll have the kinks worked out, hopefully.
I'm thinking around 3pm tomorrow I'll have a better handle on
everything I still need to do before leaving town. Let me know if
that works for you...
A
