A FROG LOVERS HOME PAGE
Welcome To My Pad
This is my first attempt at making a web page. My name is Patricia and I am auditing
a one hundred level computer science course at Virginia Wesleyan College,
through the Adult Studies Program.
In 1996 I graduated with a Liberal Studies degree from VWC through the Adult Studies Program. It was an around the
world journey from my first introduction to college way back in the
"rockin" '60's, but well worth the wait. Virginia Wesleyan was the
perfect spot for me to finish my undergraduate degree. The encouragement and
support of the ASP staff and faculty was a vital element in my decision to stay
and complete my degree. The highlight of my academic career was being inducted
into the ASP honor society, Alpha Sigma Lambda, and receiving the Academic
Achievement Award the year I graduated. If only my high school teachers could
have been around to witness my "late bloom!" It was difficult to
leave when the time came, and soon after, I began to keep an ear open for job
opportunities on campus. It took four years of patiently waiting, and I am
pleased to report that I have been working at VWC as the Evening Secretary in
the Adult Studies Office since July, 2000.
In my other life I am the eldest daughter, sister to three siblings, many times a niece and cousin, mother of two, godmother of two, sister-in-law times three, proud
grandmother of two, and lucky to have enough good friends for a group hug .
Some of my favorite things are:
- Collecting Frogs
- Cooking: Sharing Food with Family and Friends, and The
Food Network
- Travel: Near and Far
- Books: Buying and Selling, then Reading and Sharing
with my Book Club
- Retreats and Short Getaways
- Walks on the Beach
- Recycling
If you are interested in some of the same things as I
am, I suggest the following Web Sites:
Barnes and Noble
The Food Network
Eat Slow, Fresh and Healthy
Walking Vacations
Simple Ways to Care for the Earth
Suggestions for Relaxing Getaways
I can't wait for my first walking vacation - Ireland would be a perfect destination! I am walking every day in
preparation for the big event. My first small trip was a hiking week-end in the
Shenandoah this past October. I learned that walking sticks, or poles, can be
very helpful. Slowly, but surely, I hope to gain enough endurance to enjoy an
exciting week of walking and sight-seeing somewhere very special!
