  • First Month Phoenix

    First Month Phoenix

    By Andrea Menzies

    I made all A grades in my first month as a University of Phoenix Master’s Degree student in the Masters of Education program. I have been planning on enrolling for years, but my student loans were blocked. Also it is intimidating going to school as an adult, and juggling my teaching day job with night school. This is why I went to online school as it is organized well for working adults. Thankfully, the conflict is resolved and school is going well this month. I enjoy having real challenges for the year.

    P.S. : There will be no podcast this week due to massive homework exhaustion. The final exam all nighters have been epic.

  • Bully Thanks

    Bully Thanks

    By Andrea Menzies

    It is now true the USA has the Simpson’s bully for a president. Stop invading yourself Ukraine! Stop invading yourself Ukraine! It was grotesque watching Trump and Vance try to make a visiting foreign ally beg for thanks like a beaten man in the Oval Office this week.

    All A Grades

    I made all A grades at my University Night School classes this week. I am trying to keep up the winning streak so there will be no weekly podcasts on my WordPress blog.

  • More Epic Snow

    More Epic Snow

    By Andrea Menzies

    More epic snow has hit today in Virginia causing iced roads, power outages, and Internet outages. Meanwhile my Texas and Louisiana friends are having some dancing pool parties and great concert nights creating epic home sickness in me for less cold areas I called home. I normally hate Virginia, but this week I dream of leaving Virginia every hour of the day.

  • Ice Week

    Ice Week

    By Andrea Menzies

    Extreme ice storms have blocked roads where I live in Virginia. Trees are falling knocking out power. This is a third week with cancelled school days in it. I am really ready for spring now!

  • Chicken Love

    By Andrea Menzies

    So true! The funny thing is eggs are expensive, but chicken hot dogs and nuggets are the same old price.

    I thank the heavens I never voted for Trump, and voted against him.

  • School Placement

    School Placement

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am so glad the hiring event I went to today confirmed I am able to get a school job placement in other towns. The night school program I am taking has jobs in far away towns on the border of Virginia and other states so I can get out of this horror toilet state for road trips on the weekends. All the Valentine’s Day store items make me hate Richmond more completely. I used to enjoy weekend dating when I was younger, but in Richmond, VA I have only met the most disgusting abusive human sewage I have ever seen in my life. The pathetic night life makes meeting people impossible. The loneliness of this pain pit is indescribable agony.

  • Reading Delay

    Reading Delay

    By Andrea Menzies

    This week’s podcast may be delayed as I am registering for night school to get certifications I need for more work hours in teaching jobs. My book recommendations may go from fun weekend fiction to University textbook commentary this month. Entertainment reading will take a backseat to night school class reading as I start new online classes. I have been working for years to get into the program so it should be interesting. In addition I needed many shots for COVID at Walgreens. I always reacted badly to shots in the past. After this hassle my posts will be on schedule once more.
