I Love New York Travel

I looked into getting an online education and degree several years ago. Did you know that just ten years ago, there was next to nothing available online? And even what there was, it was scorned at by “higher” education! Today, howevr, it’s a totally different story. Yay! The sky is the limit (well, that’s how I feel!) for getting a terrific education and a degree! The doors of opportunity are open.

One such online university, Western Governor’s University, offers a spectacular training and degree program. They offer Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in such fields as education, business, health professions, and more. WGU is a fully accredited education institution– they offer the same excellent education with the same rigorous training that you’d expect from any university. However, WGU offers it all online, which spells convenience– you learn at home without having to juggle schedules, a job, transportation, living expenses, and more. You can get an online nursing degree, which is a highly coveted field right now. WGU is non-profit, and it’s much more affordable than other colleges. Check out the website for more details.

I’m excited. I’m going to take a day trip up to the Adirondacks this weekend. I just can’t wait. I haven’t really explored them a great deal (I’ve always lived in Central and Western New York State), so it will be a great experience. We’ll be traveling up to Tupper Lake, a place I’ve never seen before. It’s a 3-hour drive, yikes, but it will be quite an adventure. I’m also renting a car for the occasion, which is really fun! We had our choice between a Honda, Chrysler, Toyota, and Subaru- guess which one we’re trying? It’s not a Honda, we can’t afford any Corolla short sales, Iacocca has nothing to do with it… yes it’s a Subaru! An Outback, oo lala. I have never driven one before. Never even ridden in one before! But it’s got all-wheel drive and therefore will manage the snowy roads of the Adirondacks suitably.

I can’t wait! I haven’t been on a trip in so long. We’ll have loads and loads of photos, so stay tuned!

She’s real cute, isn’t she?! :D Tonight she’s a terror. She won’t eat her Friskies; she wants Temptation instead, *huff*. I think I have spoiled her. :-p Next thing you know, she’ll want wii accessories and a foot massage. :-p

Happy Valentine’s Day. :) It was a quiet day for me; I don’t “do” holidays much, except for Thanksgiving Day and Independence Day. Most holidays are far too commercialized, and I prefer to keep plugging away at things rather than stop for a holiday every 3-4 weeks.

We still have snow here (got 3 new inches) but it’s been a winter of sparse snow. I hear the Deep South is going to get clobbered again. Wouldn’t it be strange if the hemisphere suddenly tilted and WE in New York got tropical weather and the South was stricken with 6 months of winter every year?
