1030a Ah, Tuesday: Nothing like 12hours on campus. >_< Actually.. /guilty/ I can study here as Rook's not here to JumpScratchBite me! :( Poor Dog.

1155a One hour studing Basic Chem Review in: Time for a 10min Brain Break. Then quick review, then back in! Good thing too: some class just let out & the StudyHall/Sittin area for the SnackBar just got visciously loud due to the constant clank of vending machines. Turn up earphones (Classical 95.3) to cover it, but then can't force the Chem in my brain! Oi.

The Anatomy & Physiology class has an Recommended-but-not-Required pre-req of Chemistry. We were given a handout on the first day with a Basic Chem review, of which the last page gives a type of mini-quiz. This quiz is prefaced by 'Using only your knowledge and a periodic table answer the following questions. If you are unable to complete this task you may lack the necessary prerequisite knowledge for this course." So far I'm about half to two-thirds through. The Chem I took last semester was taught by a horrible teacher, and no one got higher than a high-C. She could not, would not, allow the students to understand something before she tacked more onto it, though that first it was integral to the second bit! It will take a certain degree of self-teaching in the Chem to get through this A&P class I think.

One of the mind-wrenching nanosecond-of-fury inciting things about contact w/Hubby in Field: Reception delay after 2days of No-Contact.

School, Geekery, and Science!

Woops! I did not notice that my posts were getting stuck in "draft"! Here's what been published late: 20120805-11 Curiosity and News . News: KY Evolution, Medieval Germanic War . In Life: Img Src School has started again and I've got four classes, Organic Chemistry I, Genetics, Introduction for Teaching, and Introduction to Technology for Educators. For those of you of my generation let me emphasize that the latter is "intro to, technology for educators" and not "intro to technology, for educators". If you don't know the difference: instead of teaching me "Intro to Tech" (typing, how to use word, excel, etc, all that jazz) I'll be learning the programs that educators tend to use nowadays to organize students' grades, build digital classrooms, work through how the law pertaining to teaching interacts with the law pertaining to technology, etc. I'll be keeping two blogs for the class and uploading my final projec...

Star Trek Diplomas: All of them. I think.

Image
So... StarTrek.Com has released a Starfleet Academy Diploma.  I wanted to see if the design was supported by canon (because I'm a huge fact-check nerd) and in my quest collected what I think to be all the diploma designs officially used on the show. I'm still looking though, so if you find one I don't have here, please leave a comment! Confirmed authentic : Voyager epi "Non Sequitur". It appears to be the first time a diploma had been shown, if rabid Trekkers diligently duplicating it is any indication. If you register at the LCARSc site, you can download a free template to make your own! (ref: http://www.lcarsc.com/entry.php/34-Freebie-Friday-Starfleet-Diploma ) Confirmed authentic:  Enterprise : "Storm Front, Part II" Earlier in storyline, later in established canon. Found via http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Starfleet_Academy_majors Official StarTrek.Com diploma (Released 2012):  I can't find any epi screenshot t...

Classroom Architect

One of my assignments for Intro to Tech for Educators was to design a classroom (to certain specifications). I'm posting it here A: Because it's neat.  B: In case the file upload goes wrong.  C: Look! I made it a science classroom! Look's like the one I had when I was in 7th grade science! Bangarang!
