Creature Project 1

I'm going to use this blog dually for Dr. Robins' Creature project.

I hatched my creature a week ago. I only hatched one egg to get the feel for what it was going to be like. My first creature's name is Nicole. She's extremely active. She was not interested in the cake I baked for her, but she did enjoy the apples and carrots. Nicole also enjoyed the skateboard. I took her to the toy room and she played for a little while with the top and toy soldier. I had a hard time keeping her in from the rain.

Today I hatched my second egg - a boy named Andy. He helped me realize that Nicole may have ADHD! I left her in the ferris wheel and I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't come out. I remembered that the car had to be at the bottom. She eventually came out. Andy and Nicole met up and Nicole started smooching on him. He covered his eyes with his ears. I don't think he liked the affection too much. Andy got tired, so I walked him back to the house. He fell asleep as soon as I brought him to the nursury - I was scared he died, but the zzzs were coming out. Oh, Andy eats like a pig.

Both Norns are growing!

Better week!

I think having big assignments due truly affect my being. Even though there were some stressful things going on in my life I was able to cope relatively better than last week (my daughter broke her arm doing a backhand spring). I enjoyed this week's readings. I even reread some sections. I think this is because the chapters explained some psychology that sometimes makes me wonder.

It's easy to go about living your own life, and when other's pop up with other views and ideals I often have a difficult time understanding. As a teacher I must remember that not all people with share my experiences or feelings, and it is my job to understand them.

I'm Recovering from a Spiral

Last week was definitely not one of my better weeks! Paper due, another major assignment for Product Development, School Board presentation, PLC, PDC, PTA, CSIP, gymnastics competition, slumber party, husband gone for a month...aauuuggghhhh! I thought I was doing well with my paper, then I got behind with other meetings. I'm glad it's all done and over.
I'm looking forward to just doing some reading discussions for a little while. I'm making a point to read everyone's papers a little each night this week.
