Since Amy has been super good to me these last couple of weeks (bringing me dinner as I study, doing all the laundry, cleaning the house, etc.) as school has been super busy. I decided that I would take a break from getting projects done and surprise her with a blog post.
I just got done reading my first text book from cover to cover. It's a pretty incredible feat that I'm not sure many people ever do in their life. In my 5 and a half years of college, not to mention the 4 years of high school, I've never been close to reading a whole text book. In fact, the majority of my classes I haven't even needed to open the book at all. My marketing class, however, has forced me to perform what I'm sure is a truly unique accomplishment. 25% of what we are tested on comes exclusively from the book, with really specific questions like, "how many times is the word, "elasticity", mentioned on page 321." (maybe a little exaggeration, but you get the point) Anyway, just a few hours ago I finished the last chapter of the book, cementing one of my greatest accomplishments...well this quarter at least.
As some of you know, Amy's sister Heidi put together a sweet, "baby shower blog." There are some fun games and things to comment on. If you haven't seen it, take a minute to check it out: babygirlsharp.blogspot.com Thanks again Heidi, that was a great idea!

I didn't know you could read.
Way to go Mike! So far, Drew has had several Textbooks he bought for classes that didn't even get opened once! (Teachers perrogitive not his:).
I'm impressed. I like to read but I can't stand text books! I always find that my mind drifts. :0
Wow, I am impressed and very sorry! Sounds like a tough class - Good luck with the rest of what is left!
Glad to see you found a spare moment to say hello. So proud of you! Keep working hard. You go school boy.
I have never read a whole text book. Al on the other hand reads them for fun. That is if the subject interest him. Way to go. It is good to hear from you.
