Hello and welcome to your own page. I never find anyone in the chat room either! there are a lot more places to hang out now, maybe that is it?

I am leaving you some home made apple butter and a window box of tulips as a welcoming gift. Enjoy and come visit my page for peaches if you like.

Gday Suzy, its about time you got here. We've been waiting ages! Brought along a plate of nibblies and a bottle of bubbly so lets get this show on the road. Still haven't ventured into the chatroom as yet coz I cant seem to get out of the Sudokuaholics Anonymous meeting room. Pull up a chair and tell us your story of addiction. Its almost like a chatroom but with a bit of lag time!

What a wonderful welcome! I wish I had time to spend more time in here today - I'm working on an assignment and studying for my first exam in over 20 years! My resolution for when they are sent and sat - spend time in here during the break!!!!! That's a bit over a week from now...

I have just finished the easy sudoku in the hope that it would jump start my tired old brain. My exam is tomorrow and I was up late last night/early this morning trying to cram more information into what feels like a withered and melting brain. I'm planning a relatively early night tonight - lets hope it works out that way!

Hi Suzy, and a late welcome to your own page. What was your exam for? I have a tradition of leaving a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from Ottawa as a page warming gift, so I hope you like sweet pastry. Maybe it's just the treat you need after taking an exam. Enjoy, and welcome!

I am studying for my Graduate Diploma of Education - High School Science - and my exam was for a subject called 'Cultural Politics of Education' - basically about social justice for all, particularly students disadvantaged by things like socio-economics, gender, race, geographic location etc etc etc. I'm a bit long in the tooth to be back at University, and with a 14 year old and an (almost) 11 year old I have had to study via 'distance' - like the old correspondence courses but using the internet. Six months to go - assuming I pass everything along the way....

Hey Suzy..omg (grovelling here, on hands and knees) so so sorry I havn't dropped in before to welcome you to your page.
I saw your post about getting under the 2 min mark today, and doh it just occured to me that we havn't chatted for ages. Hope all is well in your part of the world, and hows the study going? Any results yet on the exams? I know you would have blitzed them all. Lets hope we can bump into the chatroom soon.
I must be on my way so I will leave you a few treats to help you with all that study.

Cheers

Hi Suzy! Thanks for the birthday wishes for my hubby! My two youngest are 14(daughter) and 12(son), so very similar ages! (We can compare notes.) If you want to vent or need help with anything, there's usually someone around in SA3 (under Forum). Jenni (Canberra) just went back to school a couple of weeks ago. Stop by my page anytime or SA3! Take care!

Suzy - no that isn't my farmhouse, that is one that my son rented for a year, but has since moved out. It is owned by friends of ours. he liked it when he could put out poison for mice, but now with his puppy he can't do that and the mice moved back. He had planned to move out anyway because he is going back to school and will be moving there, but until then, he is living back at home.

Hi Suzy. Thank you for dropping by my page and I'm so sorry not to have repied sooner. Yes I am studying at the moment and it is taking all of my energies so I haven't had much time for Sudoku, unfortunately. It seems I just finish one assessment and then there's another due. I am doing a nursing re-entry at UC. It is only one semester, so I only have until the end of October, but there is Uni and clinical involved so it is pretty hectic. I hope your studies are going well - are you on mid-semester break at the moment as we are?

, Suzy. Thanks for taking the time from your busy school schedule to wish me a happy birthday. I had 3 years of college, married and had 3 children, then went back to finish up my degree when the oldest daughters were 10 years old. It was a struggle, only doing homework after they were asleep at night, but well worth it. You are almost there, so start anticipating that graduation! And once more.

Suzy, my last college semester I had a computer class with most of the grade based upon a group project. Six weeks before the end of the semester, a member of our group of four was arrested for drug charges and unavailable. I was selected to do his part in addition to my own because I was the only one who understood what he was doing. Four weeks before the semester ended, I missed a week of school for surgery. Then two weeks before our presentation, the woman responsible for typing and printing the whole project became seriously ill and unavailable. So if I didn't want an incomplete or failing grade in this class that I needed for graduation, I had to do her part, too. I barely managed to submit the project 5 minutes before the due time, and to give the presentation with my one remaining project member. Our professor said this experience was meant to mimic real life. But I'm grateful to say that my work experiences never did mimic that degree of interruption and isolation. My work colleagues were always cooperative and available. Moral of the story: don't procrastinate too long with projects - you never know what's going to happen, especially when it's your last semester.

Suzy, thanks for thinking of me. I appreciate your recipe for sedimentary rocks. We will definitely try the recipe soon. The advantage of returning to school when you're older is that your perspective (from being a parent, etc.) allows you to see the possible outcomes of these theories and enables you to decide what is best for your future classroom. Besides, we all have different learning styles, and sometimes the biggest challenge is just finding what works for the individual in a group setting. I taught a group of 13-14-year-olds for 3 years in Sunday School. The first group had many ADHD boys, so paperwork (puzzles, etc) that kept their fingers busy helped, plus their natural competitiveness to be done first. The second group of boys had the hardest time with physical pushing, shoving, etc., so I let them decide their own rules and enforce them (calling names resulted in singing a children's song about being kind, for example). The third group liked to sleep or turn the subject to sports; the sleeping bit was solved with treats being withheld, and the sports chatter was limited to the first few minutes of class while everyone was coming in and the roll was being taken. The girls in all these classes didn't present any problems, with the exception of one girl with mental disabilities. I don't know how much she actually learned, but she enjoyed being with her friends. It amazed me that each group had it's own collective personality that responded to different methods. I'm sure your experience will help make a difference in your future student's lives. Teaching is such a challenging and rewarding experience - hooray for you!

Wow, Suzy! That is great! I give you all the credit in the world. I have gained a lot of respect for teachers since I have homeschooled my children. (The last 4 of 5.) Science should be a lot of fun, also. Lots of luck with your schooling! I will check in regularly on your Science "tid-bits." I enjoy reading them!

Suzy, fingers crossed for Tip Tap. Let me know how it all goes.
Our cat, Scrap, is due for his monthly jection for arthur-itis tomorrow but he didn't handle the heat too well this weekend so I don't think he'll be around for too much longer. Mind you, I've been saying that since the beginning of winter!

Suzy, I giggled when I read your last update on Tip Tap! Scrap is exactly the same, he thinks if I feed him before I take the girls to school, it must be vet day! This is a cat who can hardly walk at the best of times but if he thinks I'm about to bring out 'The Cage' he p-bolts halfway across the yard and under the house! Never seen him move so fast. Have stopped giving him the cortisone tabs though because it seems to distress him so much and I figure I don't need to make his time left on this earth any harder than it already is.
Thanks for the update, Tip Tap.
