School...fun....what??
I have Learning and Motivation Lab today in a half an hour and I can't wait. We are training rats and we get them today. I have never been so excited for a class before. I think it is going to be an amazing experience, not to mention the fact that it will help me a lot for teaching.
In general, I am actually excited for most of my classes this semester! I really like being able to go to class and enjoy being there. Not counting every minute until the clock hits the right time. Getting really interested in what I am learning and not minding the assignments cause they can be fun and interesting. I spent enough time in high school dreading class and assignments, procrastinating until the last minute to prevent me from having to think about it. Not to say I don't ever procrastinate now, but I am not nearly as bad I was and it is not always to avoid doing to project because of dislike for it. I am actually feeling motivated for class. I can take what I learn and directly apply it. Last semester I learned how to write a lesson plan. So I did, and then I taught it in a 3rd grade classroom. It was awesome. I got to use what I learned. Right then! I didn't have to wait years until I got into my career to realize when I might use the things I am learning about. Now, of course, not all of my classes are like that. Bio isn't exactly my favorite class, but it could be worse. I don't apply what I learn, but some of it can be interesting, yes, I admit. Math on the other hand is just plain retarded. I am stuck in MA102 Math for the Liberal Arts. STUPID. We will eventually get to graph theory and normal distribution. Yes, the stuff we did with Craft in Junior and Senior year. woot. This sucks. If this retarded school wasn't blind as to what IB was maybe I could get credit for the 6, yes 6, I got on the Studs exam. But no! LAME! Anyway.
It is cold here, but I am suprisingly happy. Good.
Oh yea, before break people came and did a lead test down at the range to see what the lead content in the air was. Well, apparently we failed. But they cleaned the range, it is amazing. There used to be a layer of dirt/dust/and probably lead on pretty much every surface. But they cleaned it all up really well and it looks really nice. So coach convinced them to do another test after the range was cleaned. So they came back monday and we shot from 6-8pm so they could test the air. If we fail for small bore (.22) again, we aren't allowed to shoot it anymore. And if we fail for air as well, I guess we won't be able to shoot at all. To be honest, I don't really like doing the small bore and wouldn't be too broken hearted if we could only shoot air. The results come in tomorrow I think, so well find out then how quickly we are going to die from lead poisoning. lol.
Ok. enough for now. Maybe more in a day or so. woot.
P.S. Send warm weather and sunshine this way.
