Inside the Peripheral joke

Okay,  so I am a little amused by the title of the blog.  I have a generic disease that I triggered 7 years ago that blurs my central vision - so I only see through my peripheral vision.  Worth a chuckle to me!

Don't Ask

 If you aren't willing to hear the answer,  don't ask.  If you don't want to get a possibly negative response,  don't ask.  Seemingly innocuous questions aren't always so innocuous.   Today I was asked a simple question that most people ask of college students.  I was honest.   And blunt.  It hit a sore spot for me, touching on the most painful part of my life in Provo. And that was it.  They tiene to someone else and asked the same question.  And under the circumstances what could he do but give a positive answer?  Nothing.

TWO Weeks

In two weeks,  I get to move.  In three weeks school starts - my first semester of graduate education! The anticipation is nerve wracking,  but I am so excited!

WEEK 1

Two of my classes work very well together.  One teaches skills in different programs and programming while the other teaches the skills of Instructional Design. One of them actually said,  the thing you'll learn in graduate school is that nobody gets along with anybody ever.  And he'll be on my advising committee.  🤣 I TA for a SPED section of an undergraduate course for education majors.  I went to 3 sections this week - my assigned section is the SPED section,  the other two were not.  In my donations of ID class,  it was interesting to look at the history of the United States in terms of  how schools and organizations taught.  I learned in Psychology Assessment that the world wars bright about psychological assessments like never before,...
