Wake up that brain!

This grad school thing has been crazy busy-- I think my MAT group has to constantly give ourselves pep talks or else we wonder why we are putting ourselves through this one year crazy program.

Although I must say, I think my IQ has increased significantly in the past month! I must have been losing brain cells when I was going through the motions of the "real world." Why do they call it that by the way?I mean were we just living in fakeville prior to college graduation. Am I back in some alternative existence now that I'm in school again? Very strange saying if you ask me. Speaking of which-- if you'd like to talk to me about the latest technology, how we can incorporate wikis, blogs, podcasting, social networking, and other digital media publishing elements, I'm game. Or, maybe you'd prefer to talk about the pedagogy, methodology, or various theories regarding our current curriculum and teaching standards, and how we can change how students are engaged and developing through education. Perhaps you've been dying to talk to someone about the developmental psychology of children and adolescents. I know you want to know about the various laws and amendments that have changed the environment of the classroom and the differentiation accommodations that are incorporated into lesson planning for various diversity and disorders of students that are strategically inclusive in todays schools. No? You don't want to? Well if by some chance you do-- I have all kinds of info! :)  It's awesome to stick to one topic in school and become a master in it. Hey, that must be why they call it a MASTERS degree-- man am I smarter!
I'm over half-way done with the summer session. Then I'll have a break before fall starts! Stick with me kids. It will be a quick ride. God is good, He gets me through everything. Hope you are challenged today. If you want to wake up that brain, here's some word jumbles courtesy of The Pioneer Woman.

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster
