Hey,

So I really wanted get a Christmas theme background, but Chris wouldn't let me because Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet. However, he had Halloween hair for about a week and a half after Halloween... So.... whatever : )

I saw this... and felt compelled

Pretty Awkward Situation

Well as many of you know, I am attending USU to become an English Teacher. It has been a pretty fun experience and I am glad to almost be done and have a classroom of my own (well hopefully). I have struggled a little bit with my classes this semester because of the shift from literature courses to educational courses. The education program at USU is a great establishment that has had years to perfect their course requirements. However, the education program is also a very monotonous experience for students. I can't speak for everyone but I surely can speak for myself. A lot of my classes are very similar in themes, texts, activities, and material we discuss, which is not a negative quality. It is ideal to be able to relate the things you discuss in one class to the things you discuss in another; however, the discussions that occur in my class or EXACTLY the same... If I attend one class I attend all of my classes in theory. So today I went to my Reading, Writing, and Technology course to listen to a presentation about multiple learning strategies which resembles my Cognition and Assessment course that discusses accessing different modalities in the classroom... I rebelled (I'll be the first to admit it) and decided to slip out of class during the presentation and finish some homework for another class. I'd like to consider this move as a positive example of my ability as a student to prioritize. Look at what college has taught me : )

I slipped out successfully and went to the computer lab that is located in the same building as my class is. No big deal right.... WRONG! About ten minutes after starting my assignment my entire class comes walking into the computer lab. And I strategically placed myself facing the door and in front of a classroom computer lab. Each one of my fellow classmates saw the shame and embarrassment on my face as they filed past. And my professor also saw my absence from the class activity. It was pretty freaking funny. But thankfully my professor does not know my name and today I had my hair straight (the first time for me in this particular class) There is no way my professor could pick me out from among the other students in the lab. And I think the many, many, many years of smoking has ruined her ability to filter student's faces. I should write a thank you letter to the company that produces the cigarettes my professor enjoys :)
