Thinking back to my experiences as a student, many classes surface, but I would have to say that Chemistry has always been a bunsen burner in my side. Specifically my college class. The assignment was to balance chemical equations, right. My chemistry instructor literally beat her head on the board after a question I asked. Not very encouraging. I dropped the class and will try a different instructor next time. Maybe that will help. I returned to college after a 20 year hiatus and am doing pretty well considering so much has changed in education. I hope that my next Chemistry experience is a bit more balanced.

My Secret Notebook Post #2
Of course I keep a notebook. The older you get the less you remember. Those of you in your twenties or so just wait you'll understand. Now write that down in your notebook and look back in about 20 years. I'll still be around for you to tell me I was right. Joan Didion was exactly right in her essay. Things that may never be repeated outloud are in those notebooks. I believe there is a bit of narcissism in all of us once in awhile and if you can't say anything nice put it in your notebook. I like the idea of a notebook rather than a diary, I'm really not trying to hide any of my nasty secrets from anyone I want a place to go when I believe my thoughts are valid and no one is listening. A place where I express what I believe to be creative. A place where the events of the day are laid to rest and looked upon in laughter years later. A place where my mothers best angel food cake recipe always turns up. And in a way a place where I am hidden. It's my crepe-de-Chine wrapper.

BikerBabe
Well this has been an interesting evening trying to figure out this blog thing. Not really interested. However I do like a challenge. Hello, my name is Bobbi Irwin, I am 45 years old and have returned to college. What was I thinking? Much more difficult this go around I must say. Things I enjoy, singing, teaching fitness classes, days off, cycling, cake decorating, scrapbooking, hot chocolate and cooler weather. I didn't say Winter, just cooler. I've posted a couple of pictures on my blog of a bicycle, with, count them, 4 seats. It was built in 1963 by my next door neighbors. My sisters and I have taken it for a spin and participated in a couple of fundraisers, Christmas and Homecoming parades and the occasional trip around the block for a good laugh. I've pedaled my bike across the state of Kansas twice and always look forward to the next ride. Marriage is wonderful too. I have 2 step-children and 3 step-grandchildren whom I love like my own. Life's pretty good but I'd sure like to win the lottery, oh and finish college before I'm completely gray.
