Week 1 is in the books for the 2009-2010 academic year, and I survived! This year is going to be very interesting. I am starting my 3rd semester. I don’t have my safety net this year – who the group I call “my girls.” The first group of students who entered during my first semester [...]

We didn’t really add space to our house, but we did reorganize an entire room – which turned the whole house into a disaster area, please explain this someone! By reorganizing this room it feels like we’ve added space because consolidating things and realizing there was a ton of trash in that one room we [...]

So what happened to spring? Usually in Virginia we get to have a few weeks of sunny days with mild temps and a breeze here and there, oh – and the occasional rain shower.
Spring 2009 seems to have decided to not show her pretty face. Just this past week, Wednesday or Thursday, we had cool [...]

Referring to two of my previous posts: “Never been popular, why start now” and “A – for Effort,” I came across this C.S.

So – it’s a month into my second semester teaching dental assisting students. I’m amazed everyday how much I learn from this experience and hope the students are learning too. Some days I wonder about the students….
I have probably blogged about this before, and I will probably blog about this again….but I’m amazed by their [...]
On this momentous occasion

Seems EVERYONE in this great country in which I live is enjoying the lovefest of Inauguration Day. Being unpatriotic, as I know some have called me today, I avoided every bit of the media coverage of Inauguration Day 2009.

Third in a series…
In a previous post in this series, I talked about preparing for the new year and how I do not make resolutions because I eventually end up breaking them. Instead, I focus on what went right and try to continue on that path…while trying to change what went wrong. Sometimes this means [...]

Second in the series….
UGH! It’s only December 29 and I am already SICK & TIRED of all the diet ads that hound us on TV the few days before New Year’s. Slim Fast, Jenny Craig, and Nutrisystem…oh my!

Change is inevitable – at least that’s what we’re told. We change clothes, we change the time twice a year, we change the sheets on our beds – I’m changing my teaching style. I’ve been on this job for 4 months now and I’m already making a change, what’s with that?? Well, the first semester [...]
