:/

The very last post that I posted was from a year ago... I thought I was going to be able to keep up with my blog but it didn't happen. I'm going to try to start doing my blog once a week this year which means I'm already 4 blogs behind....I guess I'll play catchup this weekend :)

YEAR TWENTY-THREE

I've been writing this post for about a Month :( Today it hit me so I decided to get to it and get it done:)

Year Twenty-Three is going to be some type of experience for me. I'm going to have the most amazing year :) I've been thinking for a while what this year has in store for me. I thought about the meanin

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

I read this quote today by Sir James Dewar. He said, "Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open."


It made me start to think about how true that is. As I was grading papers for my students this weekend, I started to think about all the things they do in my class that stops them from learning and keeps them getting poor grades.


As people, we tend to leave our mind closed instead of open. When we are talking to other people, we ignore them, talk to other people,on facebook, twitter,on our phone, and even try to say that we are  multitasking.


 I do all of these things. I have to admit that while I am writing all of this down, I start to see how rude I can get when I am talking to other people, and I thought that I am a pretty great listener.

This is another thing that I plan to work on in 

YEAR TWENTY-THREE :)

just a thought...

Deadlines

Deadlines have always been super hard for me and I never seem to understand why????? 

I've always been an extreme procrastinator since I can remember what procrastination is. I always think that today is going to be the day that I get better but not so... 

I always make sure that everything I need gets done right on time... & it gets done quite well....

just a thought

 

Starting Tuesday I'm turning over a new leaf,

 YEAR TWENTY-THREE will be my year, I just know so :)

The Start...

So I decided that now would be a great time for me to start a blog...

It will kinda be my online diary for me to get my thoughts in my head out.

 At first I wanted to call it Journey to Grad School, but I just decided that Journey to the Beginning fits it much better. 

This will be my journey through my life, and the difference I plan to make in the future in this wonderful world we live in...
