First Capella Quarter (Fall 2008) a Success!

Hello all,

Some of you might remember my apprehension to joining Capella. Well, after just completing my first quarter of graduate full time studies with them (two courses), I have attained a 4.00 GPA! The courses were in Human Development, and Theories of Psychotherapy. I am soooo stoked, I'm in a mind blitz!

I wanted to share it with you, because many of you have been so supportive of folks like me. Of course, we work to support each other. Anyway, I start Winter quarter on January 5th, once again taking two courses. Waiting on my books, but ready to go otherwise.

Happy Holidays!

Congrats! Rev. Berthel,

 

Congratulations, PhiloScholar! Where have you been?

 

Gig Harbor, eh, Shawn?

 

Congrats Shawn! (as I get ready to head out the door to begin the data collection process...)

Re:

Hello,

LOL...where have I been Ted? Are you kidding? School. It kept me pretty busy. I barely watched TV for 10 weeks. Though I was done with classes on December 11th. I've also been sick, and took a Thanksgiving trip to California in November. That was interesting, doing three weeks worth of work in advance to enjoy my trip.

Back at it on January 5th. I'm still around...sorry I've been away so long. I missed you too. Hehe.

Re:

Hello again,

Yes, nice pad...quiet community. Lots of snow and ice right now. Slippy, slippy, but things are well here. Do you know the area?

Re:

Hello,

Thank you very much. Its only the beginning.

I had foirmerly resided in Woodinville, Washington, a small quiet community a little ways northeast of Seattle on SR-522 from August 19, 1986 to August 1, 2001. I also used to have a car and I well remember the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that led between Tacoma and Gig Harbor.

 

Re:

Hello,

Ah, yes...Tacoma. Or as those of us who don't live in that sorry excuse for a city and hate crossing that damn toll extracting bridge..."Tacoma Aroma". (Referring of course not so affectionately, to the paper mill factory and its toxic like waste dumb smoke stacks). I'm only in Tacoma maybe once a couple of times a week, or in trying to pass through it at super sonic speed on I-5 on other occasions to get to better places. Can you feel the love loss? Not so much I guess.

By greater contrast, as I'm sure you know, Gig Harbor is a nice place to live. It is the "slowly being discovered city", over the last year. There are more people here in the last year. Next stop: A desert island somewhere off the coast of bridgeless waters. This city has gone through some nice development economically, but it has also trickled in the riff-raff from the Tacoma side too. This town does not need to be entering a Tacoma look-a-like contest. But I digress....

Anyway, nice to see you're still around Ted.

Ah! I didn't know that the Tacoma Narrows Bridge had become a toll bridge; it wasn't during the fifteen years that I lived in the Great Northwest. Yes, I remember Tacoma being a small industrial city with its smokestacks and all and I remember Gig Harbor being a nice little town, basically a bedroom community much like Woodinville where I once lived. I like the idea of moving to a desert island off the coast of bridgeless waters.
