New Hair

Yesterday I decided it was time to do something new with my hair. So Lori was home from school and had some time, so we went to Fantastic Sam's and I got a haircut. Then the stylist styled it for me. Wow, was it big when she finished. We went back to my house and "fixed" it so it wasn't quite so big and fluffy. I really like it. Of course, today, I tried to do something similar, but it didn't turn out like I thought it would. Oh well. That's how it usually happens. Que va a hacer?

Proud of Myself

Hehe. I just finished a little programming assignment from one of my classes where I am learning to do web programming. So all I can do are simple little things...but I wanted to post the link to my project page so you can see what I have done. It is exciting what you can do with a few little tags and words and numbers. I got really excited when it actually worked!

Enjoy!

Wow!

What a wild semester already! But it's so fun! I love my classes a lot. I am taking a Distance Education class (how to create one). I'm learning a lot about the theories behind it, and how to do it. I'm also taking a computer programming class (how to do web programming) and I'm learning a lot there too. I wish I could pick it up a little more quickly though. I have to think about it.

I am also teaching. I have my Linguistics 230 class, and it is a lot of fun. I have good students and they are working hard. I need to work on my activities to make sure my students are always actively involved. I am enjoying them though. Then I am team-teaching two sections of Foundations of Bilingual Education with a professor from the Teacher Education Department. I am learning a ton from her and I am enjoying what I am learning. It is a great experience.

Today I got to hear President Eyring as the Devotional speaker. He spoke about how the Savior is the Great Deliverer and how He will comfort and guide when we lose loved ones to death, when we are faced with great challenges, and when we need to repent. I love listening to him talk.

Thank you EVERYONE!

Thank you everyone who made my birthday special! It was a crazy day, full of meetings and organizing everything, but it was a good day! I couldn't believe how much I actually got done. I wish I had been there when Lori came for lunch. Sorry Lori! :(
Thank you for the nice gifts, for the dinner, the flowers, the books, the money, and all of the nice thoughts. It was a special day! I am so glad to belong to a good family. Thanks for all you do! I love you all!

Happy, Happy Thoughts

YAY!!! I finished my paper today! I am so excited. After I finished, I felt like jumping up and down. I felt better about it than any other review of literature I've ever written, and I had FUN writing it. That has never happened before. It's a beautiful day!!!

Grading, Yes I Am

So now I'm grading and writing. I'm excited because I feel that my paper is taking shape and I feel that I have many things to say in it. Now I'm working on grading my students' projects so I can return them to them on Wednesday. I'm almost done! WOW! I really am impressed with my students this semester. It seems that they have done a lot of extra things that students in other semesters haven't. It has really been very impressive!

Paper, Paper, Paper

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I've been working really hard on my paper and projects and grading, but I still have lots to do on all of them, so I guess I need to get to working more!

Last night was so great! We went on the Polar Express train ride with Lori and Jordan, Clint, Megan and boys, and Vibeke's family. It was so neat! What a fun (and probably expensive) hobby to have! They had it set up really nicely and we had such a fun time. Then we went back to Lori and Jordan's for hot cocoa and a little visiting. It really was a good night!
