Happy Birthday Ewe!

When it all starts making sense

These are the instructions:
You need to post about your educational and personal background, why you chose this course, about the specific questions you hope to have answered by taking this course, about your hobbies, and anything else you would like to tell about yourself.


Hi, my name is _____________________, I am a married mother of an almost six year old. Although I no longer work for money, my background, academically and professionally, has been in the area of law. Since childhood, I've been making mental notes of everything. My hope in taking this course is to begin understanding human behavior, from a scientific perspective, not what I imagined. I live in Florida where I practice yoga, keep a journal, draw, write poetry.

Any suggestions before I post?
