Octsnowber?- Academics

Aloha!
I can't believe that it snowed in NJ already!! Just one more beautiful reason to be in Hawaii!!
There is soo much to update, I will probably need a few posts to get through it all!

Let's start off with academics!!!

I had been overly stressed for the longest time for a presentation in my 610 class about banned and challenged books.... I let myself get completely worked up, and it ended up being a really great presentation!! Especially since I included a class activity, where I passed out children's books that had been challenged, and asked the class to reflect on why they may have been challenged.... it went really well!!
I also found out that I got my first perfect paper in that class!!! I had gotten A's in the past, but my professor had always taken a fraction of a point off for some reason, so it feels amazing to get a perfect paper!! It's ironic because I was convinced that my paper was doomed because I couldn't get ahold of the biography of the person I was writing about. Instead, I pulled from a variety of sources to create an image of her, and that was exactly what my prof. loved about the paper!!!

I got an A+ on my paper about choosing children's books based on their development classification for my 681 class...
this class is a bit slower getting work back to us, but I will take it!!

And my cataloging class, I had my first quiz, which I think I did well on, but we shall see!!

It's crazy that I have 6 weeks of classes left!! And then I have one semester of grad school done, and 3 more left!!

I have to say, I love being in school again... and I LOVE taking myself seriously as a student!! I think that it shows!

I made my tentative schedule for next semester, but I don't register until the 20th... but it looks like I will have room to take an edtech class.... I will have plenty of room, since as of now, I would only have class Mon- Weds. Not to shabby!

More updates later! Miss everyone!!
