Today as we all know is St. Patrick's Day! A lot of the staffer's and other personnel took the time to wear goofy hats, buttons and other things that would be a touch of comic relief to all of us.

I of course forgot to wear green. Now, you would think being around this crew, adding into the mix my children, I would have gone as far as spray painted myself green. Nope. Forgot all about it until my daughter, who needed to run out and get some eczema cream for her sister, pinched the heck out of me! Of course they all wore green

What a day of giggles and pain it has been.

From the staff to the students wishing you all a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

        

In our ever changing times many folks have to stop and think about the future of their careers. A change or update may be in order to stay at their present job or to advance.

Many people are already cluttered with full time schedules and do not know where to turn to in the area of advancing the education that will in fact help them. One thing that you can try is online schools yet where do you look to make sure that the school is accredited and will help you?

You might try looking into an online university such as WGU. They are fully accredited and have numerous resources and classes for you to choose from. Not only that they are affordable with a lower tuition. WGU is a non-profit online university. Which is a relief for those that already have a tight budget!

To make it even better to achieve an online business degree they offer scholarships as well!

So if you are looking for a way to further your education online this is the place to start looking!

        

It has come to my attention once again that students are not updating their personal information.

I was more than displeased to receive a note from Lady Devi regarding this matter. Further telling about students that complain that emails are not being received yet being sent. Only to find out that the email addresses that are on record are not correct and out of service.

It is not the administrations fault that your information is not correct. In all our TOS we have set out clear and concise instructions on keeping your details up to date and current.

Please take the time away from sitting on your log furniture to pull up your accounts and make sure that details are current. If anything is NOT current send the information to admin@modernwitchcraftschool.com

        

Just a quickie here about Daylight Savings time.

On March 14, at 2 a.m., we will spring our clocks forward yet again! One thing that I like to do is before I go to bed is to change the time on my clocks. That way when I wake up it is all done. Who wants to wake up at 2AM to set clocks forward??? I know I certainly do not.

Luckily phones and PC's change on their own!

        

With spring nearly here there is another month that I can certainly tell is on its way. And that is June. Why? Due to the massive amounts of wedding invitations that are being received.

Last week alone I received 10 invites to weddings that are happening in June! That is a lot of weddings to attend. Of course, that is nearly impossible to do especially when a lot of them are out of town. If I went to all these weddings that month I figured I would be home one week total. That is crazy!!!

Congrats to all those of you that are getting married. Gifts will be sent in May!

        

For all students to read and take note of!

We have been noticing a lot, and I mean A LOT of bouncing emails when trying to contact students with information. The main reason seems to be 'mail box full.'  This is something that can be prevented most of the time. Maybe you might need to re-set your spam filters or the obvious clean out your email box!

New students that have just enrolled that this is happening with is preventing information being sent to you. We have a minimum of 30 new accounts sitting waiting to be sent out. We try once per day to send and once per day these emails are sent back to us.

If you need to change your email address with the school, please contact us! It is up to the student to keep their account information up to date at all times. If your account information is out of date we can not contact you.

It is the same thing as upgrading your computer's video card !Let the system know that you did in fact change something!!!!

        

Restraint with the eye is good, good is restraint with the ear. Restraint with the nose is good, good is restraint with the tongue. Restraint with the body is good, good is restraint with speech. Restraint with the heart is good, good is restraint everywhere. A monk everywhere restrained is released from all suffering & stress.

- Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

        

	In meditation, don't expect anything. Just sit back and see what happens. Treat the whole thing as an experiment. Take an active interest in the test itself, but don't get distracted by your expectations about the results. For that matter, don't be anxious for any result whatsoever. - Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"

Here we go for February Student of the Month. As we mentioned before we were picking one female and one male this month. So that is what we have done!

Our male SOM is non other than Carl with a 'C' as he is so well known to state! We never did ask why due to the fact pretty scared as to the reasoning behind this! He has been with us now for 16 months. He loves long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners and wait a minute he gave us his match.com profile! What a guy. Seriously, he has been a nearly perfect student helping whenever it is needed and during the storms that we had he answered a number of the students questions. Way to go Carl with a 'C'!

Our female SOM is Cherri. Not pronounced 'Sherri' but like 'cherry'. Cherri is a second year student. Actually she has just started her second year and has a lot of promise! She has already entered into the apprentice program as well. She is engaged and looking forward to a end of summer wedding! Cherri is employed to give people answers for a life insurance quote when they call. She sure has answered a few of our silly questions lately!

Congrats to the Students of the Month for February
