It's been a while since I've had to study for a test, but that's what I've done this afternoon. Last week when the instructor dismissed us on the first day of our Master Gardener class, he mentioned that there would be a test at our next class.
Unlike high school none of the students whined, though I get the feeling there were a few who thought about it.
I'd taken good notes so I felt comfortable with the material we covered. As we passed out of the class, he gave us a study guide for tomorrow.
After lunch this afternoon we took a nap, because any Sunday without a nap is a wasted Sunday. When I got up, I rounded up my manual and headed to the office to refresh my memory. Hitting the books actually felt good. It was almost like I was sweeping some of the dust from cracks and crevices of my brain.
I'll be studying Basic Botany tomorrow. I had Biology in school, but I never took Botany so I'm excited to learn things I never knew.
Our avocado and lemon trees are dropping more leaves than they usually do so I' love to discover why.
It's off to bed tonight. I've got to get up early and shine an apple for the teacher.

Is this school for fun - or real???
ReplyDeleteIt's a real class that I'm taking for fun: it's taught by the extension service. I love it.
DeleteSuch a happy class to be taking. Great update on the look of your blog.

How interesting. I bet you are having fun, Rick.
ReplyDeleteOh- I am so jealous- I was all signed up to take a Master Gardner's class and something came up and I couldn't take it. I hope to do that within the next year or so. I think it will be fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI wish my students were that dedicated, happy gardening !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by my blog...I must confess to being a tad envious of your Master Gardening class. It's something I dream of doing myself; perhaps one day soon!
ReplyDeleteOh you teacher's pet you! LOL!! But I just know you'll ace the test, apples or not! Yay! Take care

DeleteIt's always great to keep learning... especially when it something interesting to us.. enjoy your class;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like your garden will look amazing this summer! I agree about Sunday naps. Sometimes mine end up being more like a Sunday coma!
ReplyDelete"any Sunday without a nap is a wasted Sunday"...well-said sir lol!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your test. And thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. My godfather is doing better now.
ReplyDeleteyou go, rick!
ReplyDeleteSounds very interesting! How nice to be able to take a course like that! Happy studying, good luck with your mysterious leaf drop!
ReplyDeleteMy dad worked for the extension service for many years. Whenever I had a garden problem I would call the master gardeners. Enjoy.
