I enjoyed the class

Hello all,

I am writing to mention that I really enjoyed my computer class. It was actually fun! I loved delving into the mysteries of my computer and finding out all the hidden gems. I cannot believe how many things I did by hand, such as numbering paragraphs. Isn't technology great... It makes me feel a little stupid at times, but after the fog clears its great to have all the new abilities.

Geting closer..

Hello Everyone!

We are almost done with the Winter term. I am excited and terrified.

Next year I enter the Paramedic program and I only have 3 more Spring term classes to be lazy.

I say lazy, not because they are easy, but that I have not gotten into my life or death training yet.

I am really nervous for next year, but I have a lot of people who teach at my firehouse and they mention I will do fine. I hope that isn't ramblings for the person about to jump off a building!

Floundering

Right now, at this moment, I feel like I am just floundering through life.

I haven't been a good volunteer or student.

I feel as through I have lost me motivation.

It probably is just that seasonal depression, (I hope)!! I will just load a lot of vitamin D and hope that everything turns around. I just don't want to lose sight of my goal..
Nothing in life is ever easy....

Getting motivated!

I have found that I have lost my umpf again.

I need to get back into live, it amazes me that I can be so committed to something and if I have a span of time away, I am reluctant to go back.

From working out to working at the fire house, I just have to stay motivated or I don't feel part of the project.

I guess I am afraid everything has changed completely and I will stutter along without a flow.

You know that comfort level you feel, when you are really a part of the system, a feeling that you are a important clog. I know we are all replaceable, but I like to have the illusion of being irreplaceable. It it a little white lie that makes me feel important.

I found out after my first job that I wasn't irreplaceable.. I really thought with the blood, sweat and tears I put into my first job they couldn't go on without me. I was wrong, they didn't close up shop or become so despondent without me that everyone was on a suicide watch. Kidding!

I just have to get over the first hump and I will be fine. It would just make me feel a lot better if people pined away and showed they missed me by taking out full page ads in the paper.

I guess I just have to soldier on, on my own.

Hello Everyone!

It looks as though spring might of sprung?? Watch after saying that, it will snow tomorrow.

I have been having the worst term, as far as getting to class. I feel as though unseen sources are at war keeping me from class. I want to go, I pay for it! I am really into getting my moneys worth.

I think all my health ailments and parents that are falling off their 4-wheelers feeding cows are fixed!

I am having a problem figuring out exactly what to do on the labs that can be done at home, but hopefully I will look at it with fresh eyes today and the world will be right again....

Talk to everyone soon!

Rebecca's new post...

Hello,

I am making a new post for my computer class. I hope to get straight A's this Winter term.
I am enjoying computer class, it is enlightning..
Ms. Huni has the patience of a saint!!

Update soon.....

"Do you know"

I feel to stay ahead of other counties we need to do what they do...

That means aptitude testing. Those students that are mathematically gifted to forth in that. "Artistic", go forth in that subject and have a minimal amount of the other subjects.
That way the particular subject that they are well suited for; they will excel and go faster then a whole class trying to learn at the same time.
There is no one slowing them down.
The teachers would be far more compensated in their specialty( just like specialist physicians).
The instructors would be revered and their positions would be envied.

With this practice, we can tap into the most advance teachings. We would receive research and new concepts directly from the research facility's.
Each instructor would be intertwined with the facility's.
We would be at a minimum of three years ahead of the rest of the world.
Just like the early space race, we would only have this available to Americans.
I feel it is a serious problem that we teach the whole world ( several of whom, turn out to be enemy's). Our university's would only be for U.S. citizens!

We could help Third World nations, with say water and food and basic teaching. We would not out source any longer, only in the U.S. would we find the customer service for computers ect. If it is made here, then everything stays here.

With the training of China and India... They should be cut off from our education programs, except for special exchange.

With regards to the "traits"that we will need. We should set up every school to be similar to a boys and girls club. Except more militant. Initially everything would be structured with a far better and healthier food program, ( that the kids would participate in). Exercise would be mandatory also! Such problems as Yoga, running, training with weights and palates type exercises. Nothing that is demeaning as throwing the ball at each other, just to see who can bring up more welts on the other person.
Later, in school, the child will be given more liberties. There will be a reward system that will be so appealing, it would be hard not to want to comply. I also think that repeatedly showing of the reality of the world and giving them real world experience would be essential...
College should be partial school and partial hands on.
If a child feels comfortable and has self confidence in what the subject is, he or she should embrace it. This would be a start in the sprint ahead in the future
