Iced in...the good and the bad
The bad news first...travel is "not advised" in much of Eastern Iowa today due to the sleet and rain we've been getting throughout the day. The picture above was taken from inside my house looking across the street and vividly illustrates the ice that's been accumulating here in Cedar Rapids. Because of the weather conditions, the 5k race my wife and I were hoping to run today was postponed, a family get-together was canceled and most likely church will be canceled, too. If today would have been a school day, my school district would have surely canceled classes.
The good news...I can still work on my grad school! This is the wonderful aspect of being a virtual student. If I feel like staying up late to post on the discussion board, I can. If I have a few extra minutes at the public library, I can work on it there, too. The possibilities are really endless with distance education.
While colleges like Kirkwood CC and Hawkeye CC are shutting down for the weekend, the distance ed. program at ISU lives on. That is, as long as the power doesn't go out...
