Prayer: The Great Equalizer?

As many of you know by now, I am hoping to start graduate school in the fall, in educational psychology. After several weeks of waiting, I have heard from the school that I applied to.  I have been selected for an interview, and this will happen in a couple of days (Wednesday at 2:30 PM, [...]

Norma the Night Owl Teaches Night and Day

During the course of my final semester, I completed a project that involved developing an integrated unit to teach at any grade level.  I chose to do a kindergarten lesson on night and day.  It begins with an activity where students are asked to draw a picture of what the sky would look like if [...]

Yep….They’re Back

School is definitely back in session here; you can tell because the street preachers are out in full force.

My Christmas Twig is STILL Up

If you want a picture of what my semester has been like, here it is: That’s right.  I’ve been so busy and stressed with school this semester that I haven’t had time to even THINK about taking it down.

The Road Trip: A Positively Indispensible Part of the College Experience

This summer I had the opportunity to engage in an activity which is an absolutely, positively indispensible part of the college experience.  No, I’m not talking about Spring Break.  I’m not talking about having gobs of people over to my place for wild parties where everyone gets wasted and the cops get called. I’m talking about [...]

I’m in a Weird Place

Well, I am now over a year into re-embracing the role of college student after having been out in the working world for several years, and I thought I might reflect a little bit on what it feels like.  I will say this:  it is definitely a weird place to be. On the one hand, [...]

Half.com: They Didn’t Have This When I Was in School (the First Time Around)

Today I would like to take a look at another way in which the world has changed since I was in college the first time around. Half.com is a subsidiary of Ebay where you can buy textbooks online for a fraction of what they would cost new.  I found out about this from the professor [...]
