Good Morning!

I hope everyone is having a great morning. I just got back from the gym. I am still training with SK but now on Wednesday’s I go in at 6:30am and I have a partner I work with too. Her name is Carrie and she also trains with SK. She too was looking for a way to save some money so SK asked if we would want to train together. This is our third week and so far it is working out well. I think she is in her mid 30’s and she is also into yoga. In fact, she had talked me into try a Hot Yoga class on Thursday at 6am!! So early but I love the teacher and it will nice to know someone in the class. My goal for the summer is to take 2 to 3 yoga classes a week. I would love to take more but there is this thing called work I have to do. Such a pain in my ass…

On Monday I not only turned 40 years old but I went back to school! Kinda, sorta…well…maybe not. Ok, here is the deal. My Man told me about this website Coursera.  Here is an explanation of what they do.

Coursera is an education company that partners with the top universities and organizations in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. Our technology enables our partners to teach millions of students rather than hundreds.

My Man has taken computer related courses and told me I should take a look. I looked through the list of courses they offer and ended up enrolling in “The History of Rock”.  (Every time I see that, I think of Jack Black in School of Rock).

Now they have courses in all kinds of subjects. Lots of computer tech classes, food & nutrition, mathematics, film, science etc. My class is taught by John Covach from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. I went to college up there and though that was kind of cool. You have quizzes and tests you take and each week you have a series of videos you watch. For example, for week one, I have 11 video lectures to watch that covers “The World Before Rock and Roll (1900-1955)”. So far I have watch four of them and have learned some interesting things. Do you know who invested the tape recorder? I do! It was the Nazi’s during World War II. Do you have any idea how rich Bing Crosby was? I do! And he can thank Les Paul for half of his wealth.

I encourage you to check out the website. I am sure you can find a course you would be interested in.

Ok, time for me to get cleaned up and go to work. Have a great day!
