Kilimanjaro

I'm going to climb Kilimanjaro early next year along with some family and friends. I've started preparing with exercise, scheduling immunization appointments, renewing passport, among other things. We're in the process of making the travel arrangements.

May update

I got A's on my two UNCC courses this Spring 2008 session and Wachovia has approved my education reimbursement (tuition + books). So I'm happy with the results all the way around.

I had English 1102 with Prof. Susan Thomas and LBST 2102 (Immigration history) with Prof. James Lowery. The English class went well, although was extremely tiresome (a lot of work). The LBST/History class went smoothly. Basically, if you attended and paid attention during the classes, it was pretty easy. The only concern I had with the LBST class was an essay portion on every test that counted for 40%. On the first test, I got points deducted when my essay was quote "not long enough to get the job done." But that was easy enough to correct in subsequent tests.

I felt out of place though, kind of like an adult attending a 3rd grade class, but oh well. :)
