LOL you got me! No I can’t find Trapper Keepers anywhere! If anyone knows where I can get my hands on one let me know.

hehehe … it was the “Tissues - 1 large box” that gave it away!! I’d almost believe most of the other things … well, maybe not the crayons ;-)

As for the Trapper Keeper, have you checked Staples? How about eBay?

Good luck with that Nick. You’ve picked some interesting lessons actually, I am sure you’ll enjoy going to them. From what I know of you all of them, well near enough all of them are of interest you so that will help you a lot to stay motivated.

You certainly seem prepared and know what you need! Good luck with it all, I hope it all goes well for you!

P.S. I really like the new header, the crumpled/creased effect in the background is brilliant. You’ve a real talent!

Lacey, awesome I will have to check it out! how cool would it be if I showed up to my first day of school with a good old fashioned Trapper Keeper?!

Aidan, I am excited about all of them. I wanted to take a speech class to help me out with speaking n front of people. As an elder of my church now, I will have to do sermons every now and then. And thanks for the compliments.

Ahh right I see, that makes sense. It always helps to be able to have the confidence to talk in front of people. I can, but I do struggle a lot, I wish I had something like that available to me! I probably do somewhere, but I just haven’t come across it yet, but it would be useful for anyone in my opinion.

Hey Nick,
Cool! You will do great! I’m proud of you! I know what you mean about staying focused. You have a great wife (my daughter…LOL) that will support you. Steven

Yes, your daughter is great! Thank you for your support in this.

Hehehe! I am laughing hysterically about the Trapper Keeeper! Be sure to have Jenny take a photo of your first day at school, w/ your backpack, Trapper Keeper, and crayons!
Seriously, I am so proud of you!!! And of course, will be praying for you…I understand the motivation/overwhelment factor as I have that myself.
Blessings,
Barb

Nick, here is a quote that might be helpful to you.

“Inspiration comes forth from within. It’s what the light burning within you
is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don’t
do it, there will be negative repercussions. Motivation is making myself do
something that I don’t really want to do. Inspiration is having the clear
picture of what I am wanting — and letting Universal forces come into play
to get the outcome.”

I took 3 out of the 4 classes you are taking at COD. They aren’t bad. Religious studies becomes tedious. I’m excited for ya.
