Hi Jinny Ann, Nowhere to Run, and September Morn,

I appreciate your support!!!

Jinny Ann, I have been living in Kansas for 10+ years now. The people here say very little about their accomplishments. I thought my co-learners for this online class were going to be from Kansas too, but they are from all over the country.

I think this class is a bit of culture shock for me, because it seemed like people were bragging about just about everything: how early they got up, how many miles they ran in the morning, how many houses they owned, and travelling to Europe. At least one of the people has a Ph.D.

There is no way of knowing who already teaches for the university, and who else is trying out like me.

There are just a lot of rules to assimilate right now. I think being laid up this summer has affected my confidence a little bit, but I'll be OK.
