For the PhotoHunt – it’s ALASKA people – we still have SNOW! These wildflowers, however, were discovered hanging on the wall at the Alaska Natural Wonders Bed and Breakfast where I stayed last weekend while I took a class in the Big City of Anchorage. They were alive at one time… so that counts – right?
OMG what a weekend!
SO, I meant to sit down and write something yesterday when I got home? But well. Heh. I never really managed the write part, just the sit down part. Then the lay down “I’m so tired I can’t THINK or MOVE” part. And the sleeping part! I was real good at the sleeping part! Yeah baby!
So, as you can see down there a bit, I reaquainted myself with The Magic Coffee Machine ™ Which I took pictures of just for you. Really. It’s not so I can look at it longingly or nothing. Cuz I’m not addicted to CoffeeOnDemand, really. Stop laughing. I’m not! Sheesh! (oh! how I miss thee, MCM(tm)!
ANYWAY!
The drive up was beautimous, dry, ice free roads and fast travel. Legally fast, of course, I’m not a speed demon. Really. Sheesh – again with the laughing! I arrived in plenty of time to get to the MCM(tm) bed n breakfast and settle in. I even got a little bit of a nap before heading to class.
Oy. That class! Someone dad knows likened it to “taking a drink from a firehose” and he sure wasn’t kidding! The teacher, Jim, was a hoot n a half, and a force of constant movement. He breezed in dragging his case of books and looked right at me:
“You Lessa from Kenai?”
“Yessir, that’d be me.”
“GOOD! We can have class then. They done tol’ me, if that Lessa from Kenai shows up again, you have class no matter what!”
Heh. Apparently, my raising a stink last time had an effect on the Anchorage Office. Good, they need shaking up every now and again. And when there is a bargain struck, and I hold up my end of it, I expect the same from those who made the agreement with me.
The class itself was just a MINDDUMP of information. It was like he’d open our skulls and just started POURING the information in. I know it’s all in there soemwhere, now I have the next two weeks to study on my own to access the informtion in order to pass the State Insurance Exam. I’m fairly confident, though a panic-y fairly confident if you know what I mean. Even now as I write this there are words that trigger responses from me. (ie: Agreement – equals Contract+Premium which brings up several other responses too in a virtual waterfall…) I just hope I can keep it all in there and retain it all until I take the exam on the 8th. Passing it the first time will make me very, very happy. Failing it the first time will make me …. just like everyone else. *LOL* (and here is where I DUCK as nana moosie takes a swing at me….)
