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.

Hard waves

Heartache and hard times seem to come like heat: in waves. Right now, I feel I have escaped the wave. I feel a sense of respite and relief. My world doesn't seem to be hanging in the balance of the next uncertainty. However, I feel the wave around me in the lives of others. It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of my sweet autumn breeze while I'm hearing story after story of diagnosis, loss, and turmoil. Once upon a time, I would anxiously pray and wonder when my time of turmoil would next hit, but I've had my share of storms since then. Now I can praise God in good times, knowing the hard will come again. Instead of living in fear, I feel assurance that I will again experience respite and joy, and one day all my sorrows will cease when I leave this body. There's no sense in trying to avoid waves; if you have someone bigger, who created the oceans, then you can live at a level of ease no matter your circumstances. When I hear of these hurts, my heart hurts too, b...

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
