Day Three

Thursday, January 24, 2008 (Day 3)

Since I've been a little short on pictures lately we'll start with a few:



These are my carpool buddies. Sue Yarkosky from Haggen, Dawn Davies from Safeway and Ron Mitchell from Unified Grocers.

This is our classroom. Rather than running all over campus, we stay put and our instructors rotate through.




This is where we're taking computer classes on the fourth floor of Hoffman Hall. Wayne Wilmeth is teaching us the Marshall system as well as Office 2007. He's not part of the faculty, but one of the IT staff for Marshall and a heck of a nice guy.

We arrived at class this morning to find out that Tom Arnold was sick today. This presented a problem as we were scheduled for four hours with him and then for another computer class at one. Fortunately Maeleine was able to get our computer class moved up to 11 am and we used the time until then to watch and critique videos of the final presentations from last year's class. It was interesting not only to see the videos, but also how my classmates reacted to them. Everyone had a different take and there was a fair bit of disagreement about which ones were the best.

That pretty well wrapped up the day and we headed back to Oakwood by about 2pm. It's been another rainy day so Dawn was able to get us the rec room at Oakwood for the Thursday night BBQ. I guess I'll be out there barbecuing in the rain - but that's nothing new!
