When I was growing up my mother started (but failed to finish) a 2nd Master's degree. She would often make the joke that she "could have been a professional student" - meaning she loved being in classes and learning things like that - mostly about history.

Having reached my mid-30s, having earned my PhD, my 3rd and terminal degree, and gone on to hobbies that involve a lot of reading and writing, I can honestly say that I like learning - but I do not like homework, and so I don't like being a student. I'll be just fine if I never have to take another written test in my life. I'm just fine googling things and learning for free and not paying tuition. 

The older I get, the stranger I find my mother's statement.

Anyway... My membership renewed about 2 weeks ago and I have my ~35 coin submission ready to go. I just need to seal it up and put it in the mail.

I'm debating on if I really want to go through the effort to take it to the PO and send it registered or if I want to just take the risk and mail it Priority Express.

This submission is going to be quite a mix as it tries to 1) Finish the 500L set, 2) Finish the Venezuela set, 3) Build / start 2 Argentine sets, and 4) submit a bunch of turtle coins I found that are going to start what may or may not be formalized as a turtle themed custom set for Ben.

I may have some pictures to post of the turtle coins I've been picking up down the line. I just haven't found a convenient time to try to snap shots of them and what time I have had as been acquiring and selecting the last few coins and getting the submission ready to go.
