WVU Updates

Linh and I returned to WVU 3 days ago and have been very busy!
Linh will be taking 2 undergraduate, social-work-related courses this summer - 1 course during each of 2, 6-week summer sessions.
In addition, Linh also got a job! She will start her new job next week as an "Office Assistant" at WVU's Department of World Languages, Literatures & Linguistics, Intensive English Program (IEP). Wage = $8/ hour <-- 11% above WV minimum wage ($7.25/hour). This is a great accomplishment and I am very proud of her!

Now NYC = Been There, Done That

We left Manhattan this morning and made it safely back to my brother's house in Rehoboth Beach, DE - a 6+-hour "commute".
We will stay at my brother's house 2 nights - then - back to Morgantown, WV to get Linh enrolled in summer classes at WVU and her WV Driving Learner's Permit!
Special thanks to my brother (Kent) and his wife (Honey) for hosting us at their house in Rehoboth Beach (RB) - and - for Honey "chaparoning" us in NYC!
