I don’t know why I never caught the connection. I mean, I should understand what it is that I’m going to school for, but sometimes you just end up having one of those moments where there seems to be some sort of disconnect in the thought process.
Here is the dilemma: View full article »
Today has been one of those days for the record books. You know the kind where everywhere “I” seem to turn “I” am in the middle of something.
So why does that not surprise most people, least of all…ME?
I think it has to do with the fact that I’m so open-minded, opinionated, and I can find the humor in EVERYTHING! Maybe that is also why I’m so fun to be around!
It all started with this morning and my usual visit to the coffee shop on campus… View full article »
The biggest thing about finishing up a semester is coming to a screeching halt. The last 3 weeks seem to be non-stop with all assignments coming due and final exams, only to leave you twiddling your thumbs when it is all said and done.
I hate the end of a semester. I find it hard to transition from always having something to do and something due to having nothing. It is like a racecar View full article »

My first thought was, “He’s not happy with my mid-term grade.” My second thought was, “He’s going to tell me that because of my age, maybe I’m not cut out for this class and that I can’t keep up with these 19 year olds.” So I raced downstairs to his office.
When I decided to go back to school, I was confronted with a dilemma that I did not know how to face: Professors who are your own age and opinionated. This normally would not bother me, because I love a challenge. I don’t mind having professors close to my own age, and most of them accepted me for what I could bring to the classes. However, every once in a while, you run across a professor who takes their title entirely too seriously. This includes Dr. S. and more so, last semester’s nemesis, Dr. L.. View full article »
The closer my graduation date gets, the more worried I become. I’m not quite sure what I really thought I was going to do when I graduate in May 2011 with my English Education degree, but I thought that surely God had a plan for me. But you know, I’m not the average college student graduating at the age of 21/22. View full article »
