It is something I never really thought I would do but now...finally...I see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I can seriously let myself think of graduation. Never thought that would happen.

Get going, you can do it if my lazy "something" can do it.

Okay, I can do this! I will schedule my first CLEP for U.S. History II probably for June 29th. I have the REA book and will also use the IC flash cards. I studied this with my son, Ruddigore, when he took it last year and should have done it then too, but you know how that goes...

Thanks for replying....you're right, if your lazy 'something' can do it, mine can too. Big Grin

BTW, is there really a test for Astrology??

I have a funny story about mini coopers... Probably won't be funny on here but I'll try.

A friend of mine was just talking about how much she loved mini coopers. How much she wanted one and what colors and everything. Out of the car window a mini cooper drives by and she says, "Wow! What an ugly car I'd never want one like that."

My experience with mini coopers.

For my graduation gift, I will probably get me a Semi-auto 12 Ga. Shotgun. I'm still deciding between the make and model of what to get. It's between Browning or Beretta. It will come in handy for when I go to the ranch. Big Grin

When my wife finishes her degree, she was thinking of buying a GMC Sierra 4X4 crew cab truck. But with all the problems going on now, I think she is going to get a Ford F-150 4X4 crew cab truck since that company didn't need a bailout.

My gift to myself will probably be a "dream vacation" to Springfield, IL for my graduation ceremony.Rolleyes May also head up the road to Chicago due to never having been to the Windy City before. I'd love to say a cruise or a trip to Europe but the job situation will definitely play a big factor in that.
I m edumakated thanx to distunce lerning.

That is the Astronomy exam that DSST offers. I just love to see all of these over 40 and fabulous people on the boards. Yes you can do it! There are alot of us on here that doing it. Honestly I have found that it is easier this time around. Even with all of my responsiblities and commitments, it is much the older I am.

As far a gift to myself I am purchasing this wonderful piece of furniture for my office. I am also consider rescuing a horse or two.
