PURPOSE

This forum is a place for dual credit students and the instructor to publish any and all of the awesome things, ideas, experiences, observations, you-name-it that can be considered awesome. 

Maybe a definition of the word awesome will help us decide what topics should be posted.  Here's what the Merriam-Webster online dictionary says awesome is:  "expressing awe....inspiring awe."  This definition is not so helpful . What about a definition of the word awe?  Here's what the online dictionary says about awe:  "an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime."  A list of synonyms might also help us decide what to include in this blog.  The same online source lists these synonyms of awesome"amazing, astonishing, astounding, marvelous, eye-opening, fabulous, miraculous, prodigious, staggering, stunning, stupendous, sublime, surprising, wonderful, wondrous."   Now, we're getting somewhere. 

Take time to consider the awesomeness of your day and share.
