As I was browsing though the FBLA NLC master schedule yesterday, finalizing my plans, I noticed that all the testing events had the word "ONLINE" printed next to them, including mine- Introduction to Business.  I could only assume this means that I will be traveling all the way to California, essentially, to take a multiple choice test on a computer sitting somewhere in the Anaheim Convention Center.  Huh?

I'm taking a short vacation Monday Evening until Friday night to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.  (If you can offer any help to my fear of flying, please do tell me.)

I have 3 posts scheduled for this week to post automatically: Monday at 9:00 AM CST: JaRu Cyber Strike Rocket Pumper Review Wednesday at 9:00 AM CST: Buzz Bee Hunter Review Friday at 9:00 AM CST: Nerf N-Strike Reflex IX-1 Review Before school starts September 1st, I'll have up the Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 Review, the Whiteout Whistler Darts review with comparison to past sonic/whistler darts, and a range test of all my blasters...
