Events of Note: Unit 4 begins/Drafting Initial DB Responses.

* I am feeling a little better and brighter, today. I'm sitting here with my iPod, with most of an initial response discussion post for my A&P drafted and sitting in Word, and I also sat a practice quiz for A&P, and only missed two questions. For Comp II, I'm still getting some resources together, and doing my reading for this Unit. Still, not too bad for the beginning of a Unit. An early start this morning for my daughter's ballet class. She did some gracefully formed and technically correct leaps, today. I've been encouraging her to practice her positions in the afternoons, and I think that she is reaping some rewards. In so far as it is an enjoyment for her, and does not become a burden. I greatly dislike the idea of being a pushy or a 'helicopter' parent. However, she's a serious dance student, and she is able to focus and follow and to take directions well. My husband tells me that she is modelling her class behavior from what she has observed of my commitment to my Kaplan studies. Perhaps so.

* Since where we live is bordered on two sides, by two different shopping malls, I'm about to take my daughter out for a walk, and a possible ice-cream. The sun is breaking through the clouds, yet we are still wearing our fleece sweaters. That continual coastal sea-breeze is chilly and not in the least little bit charming at all!.

Good luck with Unit 4!.
