Edu-muh-cation
I feel like a lot has happened in the past ten months or so. At the same time, though, I feel like not much at all has happened. I’m still the same Neal, but I’ve learned a fair amount; especially about math. That is to be expected considering that I’ve taken a handful of math classes.
The education classes I’ve taken were really eye-opening. It’s super wacky to catch a glimpse into our education system and see the flaws in it but not be able to reach a consensus on how to fix them. I had a couple truly shocking moments in a multicultural education class. They surprised me enough that I had to check with others to make sure I had heard correctly.
This coming semester should be interesting. I think I’ll be pretty much living on campus during the week. Maybe I’ll go on a quest to find the most isolated desk on campus and make it a second home. Take in a blanket and pillow so I can have comfy naps. We’ll see about that.
Because of USU’s scheduling of classes, I won’t be able to graduate as soon as I previously thought. The very last class that I have to take before student teaching is only offered in the Fall semester. I’m in the process of deciding whether I should spread out the other classes and make each semester easier or take only that class for the semester. It might be fun to take only one class for a semester. What would you do?

Hmmmm I think I would spread them out to keep homework levels down. I don’t know, it would be fun to have only one class though. I want to hear about the moments in your classes you were referring to!
