		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been out for a little while. I had my left hip replaced.  I’ve been having issues with it for a few months and it finally became very painful on a regular basis. Here is what they took out. I’m doing much better.  I am taking one class in the Spring Semester.  It’s a non-thesis [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I really owe some time back in this blog.  The Fall Semester was pretty crushing.  My Mom passed away and after that happened nothing I did really seemed to matter for many weeks.   I took two classes this Fall and I passed both of them with A grades.  Well, an A- in one of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Passing the MPR is a big deal. A wonderful aspect of the AAU system is that they admit everyone that has the basic requirements for enrollment.  Getting into other institutions requires jumping over the hurdles and the high bars that those other places put up between you and a seat in the first class.  That [...]

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s important to set reachable goals and create milestones.   It is also important to practice everyday, not as if it were a regular job, but because it is a regular job.  The discipline of practice (and of perfect practice according to Tharp) is crucial to creative development and the creative process.  Working toward goals and [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I have felt during the first week of class that the instructor is not really engaging the students, certainly not me.  It&#8217;s during the first week of class that the immediate bond and relationship between a student and instructor are developed.  I&#8217;m not feeing good about this. Last night after getting in from my working [...]

I can simply cut-and-paste what the instructor has to say!  Wow.  I&#8217;m paying $2500 so I can copy the work of [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I would have more time this term, at least it seemed that way at the beginning of the semester.  What I didn&#8217;t plan on was my moonlighting job adding more hours and later in the evening hours which cuts into my shoot work for clients, nor did I take into account that there [...]

The student loan process is a lot simpler and easier than it was when I started my MBA some 18 years.  It seems to be a lot easier to get a lot of money for school and that is very [...]
