KathyM,

I didn't realize how used I had become to the humble midwesterners. The instructor has behaved most appropriately. It's my co-learners that impress me as being blow-hards.

I got my second assignment in today, and need to get one more completed by midnight. I worked hard on my second assignment, and was pleased with the result. Of course in the beginning everyone is trying to figure out what the instructor is looking for.

Thanks for your note of encouragement.

Life is a big adjustment.
