Back on Campus

I remember my first day on campus.  The prestige and history was suffocating.  The dorm towered over me as if questioning my right to be on those hollowed grounds.

Only the best of the best and the richest of the rich went here.

And there was me, a hick from a town with fewer people than that dorm.

“Hi!” The loveliest woman I’d ever seen was talking to me!

Scared to death, I returned her greeting.

Your greeting.

And here we are again, this time incoming professors.

And I still think you are the most beautiful woman in the world.

              lol, why these days I do a heck of a lot more writing than any sort of math beyond balancing my checkbook – I think I’ve self published six books of fiction and have several more written yet have published zero books on mathematics and most likely never will ;)
              Thanks!

                haha It’s funny how our lives develop, isn’t it? All my majors were general in order to teach elementary school. Even my master’s degree was in curriculum and instruction. I ended my career as a history consultant. LOL I’ve only had one book published – a picture history book of my little town of Woodlake because a publisher saw a post on my blog. My fiction works and poetry languish in my computer and decorate my blog. Good for you publishing all your books. I will add them to my list of to be read this year. :)

                  It is funny how our lives twist and turn. For the most part I did stay in a technical field, though what I’ve been doing for the last 8 years or so is much closer to management than technical, but I still have to understand it all as well as any of the smart people I work with. But there is little math involved ;)
                  If you do read any of my books I hope you enjoy :)

                    I’m sure I will both read and enjoy them. Technical people, I think, are usually math oriented. I was a math consultant for a while, and I think I lean that way quite a bit. I’m pretty balanced on the math/language fence. Or maybe I’m tipsy!

                      Well, I often feel a bit tipsy, or at least unbalanced ;) lol. My dad was an engineer and my mom an elementary school teacher whose biggest strength was English, so I get a bit from both sides :)

                      We had more music before her degrees. She taught piano lessons in our home when we were kids, and we also spent a lot of time singing both at home and in choirs before she got her degree. After her degree, we were pretty well grown up and out of the house.
