What an incredible year this has been for Candy and I.
What an incredible year this has been for Candy and I.
1.) I defended my dissertation before my dissertation committee at NSU, the Dean of the college of Computers and Information Sciences at NSU, and Dr. Thurmond’s military co-workers.
2.) I graduated with a PhD. in Information Systems and officially became Dr. Adam Norten!
3.) Traveled to Colombia and went on an extremely dangerous survival trip in the Amazon jungle with an incompetent guide. We hiked 200 miles in constant pouring rain with trees falling over in the storm, starved and nearly got killed. I shot a crocodile and ate it. I also ate horse, piranha, ceviche (which sent me to the hospital), turtle, and conch. In addition, I hiked (illegally) into Brazil and canoed into Peru with Candy. We saw wooly monkeys, squirrel monkeys, pink dolphins, and stayed with native people in their home.
4.) Candy and I went scuba diving in Cartegena, Colombia.
5.) When I came home from Colombia I had double hernia surgery.
6.) A week after surgery I flew to Florida to be hooded in my graduation ceremony. My mother and father came with and we had a wonderful time. I got to show them the Ft. Lauderdale area and we took several tours. We drove my mom out into the everglades national park and I showed her some wild alligators.
7.) I published my first book “Nurses Acceptance of RFID in a Mandatory Use environment".
8.) I trained hard and ran the Chicago Marathon this Fall (26.1 miles)
9.) Found a new job as a college professor teaching computer courses at East-West University on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. I made it through the huge challenge of my first year of teaching.
10.) Most importantly my father passed away on October 31st, 2011 of a heart attack. He was only 60 year years old. I miss him very much.
11.) I turned 40 years old in December.
12.) On January 19th the love of my life Candy and I will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary! (This is actually in 2012)
