NMB - It is my favorite Eagles song, that's why I chose the name. That song deserved the Grammy for best song too.
I hope the meds have kicked in and you are feeling a little better each day.

NMB feel better :hug:
First day of finals went well.
Next year at coege I am doing an Associates Buisness program then I am going to transfer into the Mechanical Engineering program with an Acoustics concentration.
I apologize if I have seemed a little aggressive latley. I have been very stressed out I am on the verge of not passing Algebra and Banking but I need one of them or both to Graduate and it is stressing the hell out of me. I have had 3 panic attacks over the past 2 weeks because of it.
That's a heavy course load, Travlnman, no wonder you're stressed out. Have a restful summer and good luck. Do you want to be an audio engineer?
Bainbridge State College is located in the small city of Bainbridge, Georgia (main campus); it has two smaller campuses in two equally smaller cities in Georgia. Student enrollment is around 2500 students. BSC is a stepping stone for most students, including me because it's mainly a two-year(AA degree for me) college, although it does have a four-year nursing program. However, around this time next year, Bainbridge State will be only a memory. Bainbridge, the city, is in extreme southwestern Georgia, and is located about 50 minutes north of Tallahassee, Florida.Quote:

Thanks for the congrats and welcome backs, everyone. :). Sadly, my college excitement now consists of movie day this coming Wednesday, which kind of pales in comparison to Scotland. I'm ready for fall semester to arrive. I miss working on projects/ essays, although I am currently working on an honors project/potential convention project for my political science professor.
My classes in the fall will be: a class on the United Nations(taught by my history professor, the Scotland one), British Literature(it'll be more enjoyable having been to the UK), Humanities I, Spanish II, and Safety and First Aid. I may add another class since this load is kind of light for me, but with my added responsibilities, I might not.
In my non-college life, my favorite great uncle passed away earlier this week. He'd been ill for about a year or so, but his death was a surprise because I didn't know his health was that bad.
I also had to go to the doctor because of the ankle injury that I suffered in Scotland. Nearly three weeks later, it hasn't started to heal and the pain/swelling is making walking difficult
I'm waiting on x-ray results.
TM, best of luck with your classes.
NMB, I hope that your vertigo gets better soon. Ive had it temporarily because of ear infections, and it was horrible. :(.
AG - Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved uncle. Sounds like a great bunch of class you will be taking. Maybe you should take a break on the heavy load of courses since you will be so involved in all the other school related activities, which I think is awesome. I sprained my ankle a few years ago and it took forever to heal. Did you try soaking the ankle in Epsom Salt - it helped for me.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, AG95. My sympathy goes to you and your family.
I took British Literature in college. This was back in the olden days when you had to stand in line and physically register for classes. The line for American Lit was huge. I didn't want to wait so I opted for the much shorter British Lit line.
AG - My Mom and her entire are from Valdosta - Is that near your college ?
Delilah - Sounds like my story except I wanted British Lit and the class was filled so I took the American Lit and World Lit classes. I of course had to register in person also ! Those were the days !

My college requires us to meet with our academic advisor in person to sign up for classes.
British Lit is appealing to me because of the professor who is teaching it. I'll probably take American lit sometime in my college career.
AG - Thanks. I have cousins in Valdosta and cousins who live about an hour north of Atlanta. Enjoy your summer - you deserve it ! Loved those pictures of Scotland - it's on my bucket list. Been to Ireland. Went to Germany, Austria and and Switzerland while I was in college.
Haven't really checked in for a while as things have been very busy of late. My parents are still holding out at home but they DO need regular support from the family to augment the care services that they are entitled to. In saying that its brilliant that they are able to continue living in their own home and hopefully they can stay there as long as possible. We had Dads 91st birthday last weekend.
Kids are doing well thank God, as is the hubby!
We are heading to the USA for a short holiday this coming week. I won a midweek break in Atlantic City and we are going to augment it with a night in NYC (Freyday) in order to see Tom Petty and special guest star JOE WALSH. It will be my first solo Joe show, so while I'll never be as excited about seeing anyone like I got excited about seeing Glenn :heart: I'm still looking forward to it. Are any other Borderers going?
Hi Glennsallnighter - Hope you have/had a wonderful time at the show. I tried to get tickets but the seats I wanted were too expensive. I had a family wedding and college graduation.
God Bless your parents ! Hope you have a nice time in NYC.
Best wishes for a safe journey and very special holiday. I've never seen Tom Petty but he's known to put on a great show and Joe Walsh is a special treat. Enjoy!Quote:

Banking and Investments final done. I think I did well. But whenever I say that I am going to fail lol.
Tommorow I got Modern Literature and Wendsday is Journalism and Algebra(Yay :eyeroll:
To celeberate the 30th Anniversary of Appitite For Destruction I am going to record the entire album.
Ga, how wonderful that you are going to get to see Joe and Tom this week! Safe travels for you and the family!
tm, best of luck on your finals! And enjoy the show!
I passed my banking final. I really needed to pass it so I am all set :dance:
That's great TM2! :thumbsup:
WELL. I AM DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL.
I should have put more effort into my Algebra but I suck at math and am supper lucky I passed everything else. I did well on my CI, Banking and Modern Literature tests but Journalism and Algebra were bad. I had to pass either Banking or Algebra and I knew I was not going to pass Algebra but hey I passed banking. But my teacher did rounded the grades for my class so I passed everything
Congrats TM2!!! :D
TM - Congrats ! Now you can enjoy your summer.
That's wonderful, TM2! So pleased for you, young man! :hug:
Tm, good for you! :yay:
You're free!! Enjoy.
Thanks everyone the ceremony is tommorow.
We missed most of Joe last night. The freaking traffic was AWFUL. We live 20 minuets away from the Ampitheater it took us an hour and half to get there the cops did not know how to handle it. Thank God that we did not miss Life's Been Good or Rocky Mountain way. We hear In The City walking in and he was playing Funk 49 when we walked through the gates. :brickwall: I am going to go complain to the City of Hartford for their incompetence :thumbsdown:
Tm, so very sorry you missed some of Joe's show! How aggravating!
How was Tom?
I would like to thank my compadres on The Border for wishing me well. I'm feeling much better after a treatment by a vestibular therapist. No more of the spins when I look up or lie down. Yippee!
Special thanks to the kind-hearted Tracy :hug:
Well, as usual, you're too kind. But YAY, you're feeling better! So happy to hear it! :-DQuote:

NMB, glad to hear you are better, but take it easy!
Sorry I've been mia lately. I had last week off work and got lots of stuff done around home. Also went to a Jonny Lang show in Columbia and met up with our daughter for dinner before.
Now, back to work! :|
Hey there! So glad to hear you are responding well to treatment and feeling better!! 🌺💐🌷🎈🌻🎼🎤😎Quote:

Delighted to report that I got my final degree results a few days ago. I did very well and got a first (better than I'd expected TBH). My graduation is in a few weeks but you can now call me Jonny Come Lately MSc if you're into that sort of thing (or not - I don't mind!).
Also wanted to congratulate TM on completing high school - I remember that summer well, have a great time - and hope that everyone else is well.
Well, it has been awhile since I've been on here. Busy planning a August wedding and my son having major surgery. My daughter is getting married, and wow there is a lot to plan, even being the Mom. My son, poor kid, has to go back into braces at 22 years old, then have reconstructive jaw surgery. I just pray this surgery stops or at the least, helps his headaches that he has had since he was small. He is busy working on graduating in December with a Petroleum Eng. degree. He also goes to summer school and works two jobs. Busy busy. My health took a weird turn in April. I found out I have kidney cysts on my left kidney and a scar on my right. Nothing too serious, the Dr. said a lot of people have cysts and have no clue they are there. But I was getting such horrible infections. Happy to say I am on the road to recovery. Our summer was a slow starter. It has finally warmed up to above 80 and is beautiful. Most of my flower plants did weird things this year with it being so cool and rainy. I just hope it stays nice for awhile, have to have the sunshine. Well that's all for now Peace and Have a Safe Happy July 4th!! :smile:
I know I haven't been on here much in like forever but tomorrow is my one year anniversary with my boyfriend.
You have a master's degree! And you're so young, a mere whelp really. Congratulations, Master Jonny! :thumbsup:Quote:

Thanks for the kind words! My degree is in Chemistry - I did a 4 year course with a research project in my final year - this turned out to be a very good call as I got my best mark of the three counting years in my final year, in part because my project went very well (I mention this specifically as some people only did a 3 year course). I plan to continue my academic studies by doing a PhD, probably in Inorganic/Materials Chemistry, which is my favourite and strongest area, which I'll start in late September.
