Tonight I attended the last class session for my Masters degree. I took cupcakes for the class to celebrate. It felt good to have that done. No more driving back and fourth to Salt Lake all the time. My bank account should like that. I need to turn in the final papers from my classes [...]

I did it. I wrote my comprehensive exams. The three papers ended up being a total of 38 pages all together, seven of which were just reference pages. That’s a lot of research stuff. Most of it is spread out in small piles all over my living room. Those piles had great significance about 24 [...]

The BYU library is amazing!!
I went there last night because the U’s copy of The Josse Bass Reader on Teaching and Learning was lost. But the two schools have reciprocal agreements, so I was able to check out BYU’s copy last night. I need that book for one of my exam questions.
This is where I [...]

Apparently if you take a photo in black and white and it turns out halfway decent, people will think you are a professional photographer simply because it is in black and white.
Some people have asked the parents of this boy if this picture was taken by a professional. I told them if they wanted to [...]

There are days when I wonder if I live in my apartment or my car. Getting out of my car tonight I grabbed everything. I ended up with my purse, back pack, camera bag, lunch bag, beach mat, a pair of jeans, a pair of shoes, a handful of papers, and a box with a [...]

When talking about ways people learn, there are three general styles – auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Some people learn better through seeing something. Others learn well when they hear it.

My feet are beautiful and I love them, especially since they don’t hurt any more and I can wear pretty strappy sandals now. Yesterday I went to Kohl’s to buy some casual black sandals. I have a brand of shoes there that I really like. I bought a pair of brown semi-dressy sandals from that [...]
