WELCOME!

Here is it, my new venture! So many people seem to enjoy my commentary about being the 'old one' in class, the differences between school in your 40s and school as a teenager or young adult and many of the differences in attitudes by students towards learning.
So check back, join in and enjoy my thoughts as they come to me!

Still here!

It has been so long since I posted; how easy it is to get out of the habit.....
Busy times, but with far more purpose than all the busy-work of all the gen ed classes of last semester. All core classes makes for more meaningful learning, for sure! The class I take this summer (ed tech & design) is one that I am really looking forward to, and next semester will be back at Lincoln! Even the class with the nightmare prof. this semester has good content, with a text book that contains interesting info.....shame I have to have the weekly three hours with the professor....it is PAINFUL!
My fellow students are great this time around too, with one or two standouts! I am still the nerd, but am mostly appreciated.....I hope! There is that one who claims that she doesn't need to do the readings because 'she learns nothing new', oh and the one who never does any homework (& yet maintains a 3.0.....no fair!!!), my cohort girls are the best!
I avoided the rant on the professor who gave everyone's project the same grade, regardless of work accomplished, or the complaining about the one who changed the rules AFTER I had worked ahead & followed the original criteria.......it went from an essay (which I did) to credit for attending a volunteer opportunity (which I also did)......I hate it when hard work is punished.....which circles right back to how you get a 3.0 while not working!!! See, managed to get a mini complaint in there, didn't I?!
