Last semester (Fall 2008) I enrolled in University of Maryland University College’s Prior Learning program (EXCL 301). The purpose of this class is to earn credit for learning that was done outside of the classroom. While I’ve never met anyone that has gone through this class, I had heard of a couple people that completed the EXCL class and earned credit. What I heard was that the class was very difficult and would require an incredible amount of work.

We did it!. The University of Maryland Women’s Basketball team defeated Duke in the 2006 Women’s National Championship in one of the most exciting (men’s, women’s, pro) basketball games I’ve ever seen.

While in Mexico, Holly and I were able to convince the “Sports Bar” to show the game. We were the only ones in the room form all but the last minute of regulation and overtime. There were even people complaining that their Latin Dance class was starting late because we were watching the game. But, we were able to see the whole, exciting game!

Holly and I were VERY proud of the Maryland fans for supporting the Lady Terps in their amazing season and championship.

Go Terps!

I’ve decided to add a University of Maryland category. Holly and I and Holly’s sister (Heather) and her husband (Chris) all went there. Holly’s dad went there. Holly and I met there. Her sister met her husband there. Holly has three degrees from Maryland (BS, MS & PhD).

We’re all huge Maryland sports fans and follow football and men’s and women’s basketball. We try to get to campus to catch games whenever we can. As I mentioned, Holly and I even found a way to watch the Women’s NCAA Final while in Mexico where the Terps because 2006 National Champions.
