I am home at last. After a very exciting week at Norwich, we received our diplomas Friday morning. It was a defining moment for everyone I talked to and probably for everyone there. In order to have some free time, I took an extra day and did not fly back to Texas until Saturday afternoon. I am glad I took the extra day.
With that extra time, I was able to visit downtown Montpelier (the state capital) and get some great photos. (The following photos were taken at the capitol building) SEE NORWICH PHOTOS HERE - There is a link to the whole gallery after the last photo
I flew from Burlington to Detroit. After some delays, I was finally on my way home. I arrived in Dallas at around 11pm. My promise to myself to read a book while I was gone was delayed by a week because of all the activities at school. But on the way home, I was able to read “A Class With Drucker”. For anyone who is interested in the father of modern management, I would highly suggest this book.
I must say that one does not often appreciate the very nice climate until they are exposed to the opposite extreme. When I walked out of the Dallas airport to catch a bus to the parking lot, I thought my face was going to melt off.
It was a miserable change from the pristine atmosphere of Vermont. At 11:30pm, it was still 90 degrees. In my whole time in Vermont, it only got into the low 70-degree range with low humidity. I was dying and wishing I was back in Vermont. Or maybe the North Pole. Or perhaps Canada. I wanted to be anywhere but Texas.
Alas I am stuck.
But the good news is that I have decided what I am going to do in the next step of my educational journey. Read the next post for the details. I am filling out my FAFSA today.
