Events of Note: Unit 7 begins.

* A bit of a stressful day, yesterday, completing work for A&P. Flew through the module exam just fine, with absolutely no difficulties. Yet, my final project paper for A&P, on a dynamic organ system and organ, has some lackluster writing, at best. Today's agenda is getting my Comp II Draft Outline in (thanks, Dr. Sands-you're the first and only instructor to grant me an extension in my whole career!).

* On this day in August, 1998, I went through a life-changing event that came very close to costing me my life. For a few fleeting seconds, I was faced with the possibility that I might never see my loving and close family and friends again. Then, likely because of adrenaline, my fight instinct in my 'fight or flight' hardwired response, kicked in. The days, months and years immediately afterwards were difficult and challenging. Thanks to a good support system, I was slowly able to begin to re-build my life again, and to see the goodness in humankind because of others faith in me and who I was/am.

* In spite of a rotten migraine headache that is plaguing me at the moment, I need to go and look at some legal regulations for part of the content for my Comp II Final paper.

So, here's to Unit 7-the downhill run!. See you on the Boards, and in blogs!.
