It’s a beautiful day today. Freezing cold, mind you, but quite pretty. It’s started snowing a few minutes ago – very light, fluffy flakes that appear to waft through the air with minds’ of their own. Great weather to contemplate the meaning of life.
Which I’m not going to do. Seriously, [...]

Good tidings of busyness and oddity…

Summer Courses '08
Who know August would role around this quickly?! The summer has flown by, helped along by the 15 credit hours of classes I’ve taken. Mercifully all but one of the classes have ended. In a somewhat amazing turn around, I got an A in College Algebra, a subject that haunted [...]

where is the time going?
Did I say I was ready for July? I hadn’t really gotten the hang of June, yet.
Honestly, how is it the second week of July already?! Geez, I feel like everything is moving at the speed of light these days. Now my astronomy prof. [Did I mention, I'm taking astronomy this summer? [...]

the prating professor
Wow, I thought I’d seen it all in my four years at school. But no, I’d missed the prof who just gets up and rambles. Seriously, 55 minutes for syllabus commentary and random “I remember last semester…” rabbit trails. Now I like professors who are talkative and not wedded to their pre-written lecture, [...]

The never-ending Oral History
I like video work, to an extent. I enjoy the shooting, the lighting, the graphics, the music, etc. I’m just not such a big fan of editing the video itself. It just takes so darn long. It can be really exciting when you get on a roll, but sometimes it’s like running in waist-deep water.
Right [...]

Spring Semester: Week 2
I loved homeschooling, I really did. Although, I’ll be the first to admit that being with your parents all the time requires a certain working relationship…and even then, we all have our moments. But I’ll tell you what college has over homeschooling, it has definite start and stop dates.
I mean it’s already week 2, [...]

Spring Semester: Days Two & Three
Deep breaths make life better.
Right, so, things aren’t as bad as I thought. Although that’s probably because Day Two consisted solely of history classes. A good history class makes everything better. My communications classes feel somewhat distracting, since my focus has shifted more toward history than technical communications. I’m so close [...]

"I have such a desire to knock heads together!"
That little gem is from one of my favorite musicals – 1776. Said by the character of John Adams during his song “Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve.”
Freedom of Speech is an important right, one which holds the fabric of our country together. Yet, saddly few people understand what Freedom of Speech protects or even [...]

Unescapable Busyness
I continue to be amazed that no matter what I do, I seem to be as busy as ever. Normally I’m one of those people who just goes and goes – busy 24/7. Last semester I worked two part-time jobs and took 21 credit hours. [I'm proud to say that somehow I [...]

The College Experience
I want to start this off with a disclaimer. There is a point to college, I do believe that. Statistics have proven that individuals with degrees (AS, AA, BS, BA, etc.) have a higher earning potential over their lifetime. Also, for most people, college is their chance to define themselves and learn [...]
Pam defines herself as independent and decisive, but also as a bibliophile, an ex-homeschooler, something of a geek, a mostly unspoilt only child, a Christian, and a mild perfectionist.
