Greetings!

Like most of you, I am new to blogging.  It will take me awhile of adding gadgets and pictures, before I am truly happy with the layout of my blog, but for the time being, I am up for the challenge!

Politics is not my easiest subject, but I feel the layout of our class is different enough from the typical "report writing" structure we could have, that this might be what I need to get through and truly understand the material at hand. 

As you may have noticed, my blog is listed under Lennie, but in class discussions you will see me as Elena.  I noticed from earlier blogs that there is another student with the same name so to help avoid confusion, I have added my nickname. 

A little bit about me: I had the hardest time figuring out what I wanted to do after high school.  I decided to take a break and later get a basic degree from the Community College of Denver.  After receiving my Associates in Science, I was still unsure what I wanted to do with my future and therefore took another break!  After working in various job settings, I decided that with my current knowledge and what I wanted to learn more of, led me to the business side of things.  I am finishing up my junior year with Metropolitan State College and am anticipating a graduation of fall 2012 with my degree in Computer Information Systems.  I spent a good portion of 2010 doing freelance work, but am ready to just focus on school and finish before I am over 30! Wink and a smile! J I am married to my dearest elementary, middle school, and high school friend and have a seven year old daughter named Isabelle.  We have two Saint Bernards and one cat and  live in the mountains!
