I love my bluebirds and I love my ASU - but isn't there a better choice of words to use rather than "evolution" for his process? It is an adaptation rather than an evolution. God created the beautiful bluebirds, they did not evolve from some other creature. Yes, they adapt to their environment and change to thrive, but let's be clearer about ...

I need a good, long dose of ASU in the summertime, like I used to have when I was a student there. I took summer courses, so that I could stay in Boone for the summer. Summers there are WONDERFUL- with the kind of healing I'm desperate for right now- nowhere any prettier on the face of the planet-

Oh, gosh, I loved the Political Science classes I took at ASU! I can't remember this professor's name(it's been a good, long while!) but he had been the campaign mgr. for Maynard Jackson, the first black mayor of Atlanta- gosh, that class was so interesting and so intellectually stimulating. Thanks for reminding me of that! Wish I had head Dr. Sherlen on NPR!

That's great- when I was there in the Education Dept., the professors were good, but the practicums were not- but I'm sure that they are now, as I graduated in '75! Plus, the Special Educ. dept. was terrific, as was the Speech Path! I have my masters' in Speech Path now, but feel like I learned by far most of my knowledge at ASU! GREAT school!!! I will always be proud to say that that's where I got my undergrad!

The trick is to stay out of debt while in college. It only gets worse after you graduate. Stay away from credit cards as long as you can!!! Start saving now! 5% of your pay check and gradually increasing up to 15% of check (or invest same amount in 401k)
