Aren't these great?
I'd so much like to get back into my stamps - but right now, I don't have time.
I will be sending back the cards soon - maybe I'll let Mom look through them first.
School is taking up so much time - but I want to actually LEARN something!!
I'll call Mom now. Heard from Cindy in my Linguistics class -- I know she did well in the "where does the sound come from..." section of our test.
Cindy is from the island country of Taiwan.
She has three friends in class and they can all speak Chinese together. She nas a neat translator that looks like an electronic diary.
(I want one!!)(haha)
Time to go downtown. I wonder what topic I will pick to write about for the longer story... maybe I could incorporate "peace" into it... how about a Kashmir story??

To Cherry Hall...
I went to Cherry Hall today to submit 2 poems and 2 essays to Zephyrus. Only 6-10% of all entries are accepted. Wouldn't it be great?
Tomorrow everyone's going down to the Pots Place to organize and maybe put stuff on shelves.
I'm getting over the flu, but still feel it.
Emotional Intelligence... MORE important than IQ. I believe it.
It's knuckle down time in Linguistics.
Linguistics isn't at all what I thought, but I'm glad I found out what it was all about.
I am finding out where all the elevators are at Western!
They might put a ball park downtown. I saw a drawing of it in the Daily News.
Next week: observations start in Russellville. They ran out of assignments here - and I am NOT going to observe all Spring Break like I did last year. :-)
Now... to write my long essay. Much to do. My partner, Liz Williams, and I had our homework done in Argumentation. What a great feeling when she said "hand in your homework!" and we had it DONE. Only 3 groups did out of 8-10.
I overheard a student say they were stunned by a couple of tests today - they hadn't studied at all. Sure glad I haven't tried that.
I want to post my web pages Spring Break. It will still be work, but fun work.

Light at the end...
Test today in 352. Did passably in Linguistics; she said I should hang in there. The next test is going to be worse.. but we did have some exercises to help with it anyhow.
Still sick, but have good medicine.
Today is the Non-trads meeting: 3:30 for officers, 4:00 for everyone. Our new advisor will be there! Should be a good meeting.
Will study this morning - Emotional Intelligence - Daniel Goleman, Learning Styles - Anthony Gregorc - and Multiple Intelligences - Howard Gardner.
My brain is mush -- but today I can breathe a little, which is better than yesterday.

Another test...
Another test tomorrow, in 352.
Now for the long story... still getting over the flu, but hanging in there.
Diane is getting her pottery done for the prizes for the dogsled race.
This picture looks Mayan.
I'm sending back the cards soon... will look through them first.
I may go into school early to study.
I think I like the blogs with the pictures way better.

Getting 401 Organized...
I finally got my 401 folders up. Good news! Our fourth group member has signed on and our group is ready to do our first chat session soon.
Next to find my copy of "On Writing" by Steven King. I already bought it and it's somewhere in my books. I may have to buy another one if I don't find it tomorrow.
Lamott was excellent ("Bird by Bird"). You can tell she has been at writing a very long time. She's not too stuck on herself either. I need to look up who her writer father was. Probably somebody famous everyone else knows.
My puzzles didn't come out right - something about the spacing yesterday. I was going to post them again, but ran out of time today. Tomorrow I do a speech about my life - luckily it only has to be two minutes long! Just watched "Lost" on ABC - some pretty intense mind games seem to be going on. My take: the people are on a different world - on a strange planet, complete with a flying alien beast who can control minds. This would explain why the French girl was never rescued and why the ship's hatch can't be opened. And is the compass broken or is North really in a different place? How fun.
I trimmed one pot (the cut-out candleholder) and mashed the tall candle holder. Then I threw a decent brown clay bowl though, but forgot to put it on a bat so it warped a bit when I used the lifters to get it on my shelf. Diane told me about adding sand to the clay to make it more stable so I'll try that next time. All in all, a very satisfactory work day. It's about time I started back potting; it's like writing. All I had to do is start.
Some more advice from Dr. Judith I just remembered: Don't submit your posts double-spaced - that makes the reader have to scroll too much. I just read the Course Calendar for 401 - there are more assignments there I hadn't noticed at first glance.

Other news: We saved a lot on insurance today! NOT GEIKO though... Since my daughter Jackie is officially listed as not living here, our car insurance took a deep dive. Mom did some pottery today! I get to wedge clay Saturday too.
Friday: Indian food buffet at the new downtown restaurant! I can't wait! Southern Indian food complete with nan and puris. The spices in Indian food are good for you, including the curry spices.

Time to make speech cards for tomorrow and check 352, Diversity pages. Read Chapter One today and typed it up. I notice Chucky has made headway on his personal folder in 401. Thanks, Chucky, for putting an "Extra Credit" section on there. I had forgotten to do that.
