Hmmm…

I guess in order to stay with my quota of at least one post per week, I should post one today since it's been a week since my last post.
I would just like to comment on how wonderful the weather was yesterday. I was in a t-shirt, capris, and flip-flops! It was such odd weather for January in Oregon. Today, it was back to typical winter weather. The thermometer currently reads 42.8° F.
I have two midterms this week. One in Fundamentals of Public Speaking on Wednesday and the other is a take-home final in Psychology that is due on Thursday. I don't think the Public Speaking one will be too hard as we have covered everything that will be on it pretty extensively.
However, the Psychology one will most likely be difficult as our teacher doesn't really teach. She'll VERY briefly cover the chapter and then group presentations cover other parts of the chapter. There are a few disadvantages to this. One is that you are unable to take notes as the presentations are verbal and often hard to hear due to the noisy fan in the middle of the room that cannot be turned off. Another disadvantage to the group presentations is that some of the groups choose to search the topic on the Internet rather than the book which means we aren't learning what we're going to be tested on. Yet another disadvantage is that for the first few presentations, she didn't assign sections to the groups so there were only 3 or 4 topics discussed by seven groups. The final disadvantage is that we don't cover an entire chapter before moving onto the next one. I think we've only covered the first half of all the chapters that we have gone through.
On another note, I recently discovered that I am able to type my blog posts on Microsoft Word and post them directly to my blog just by clicking a button. You can do this by going to the Office Button, clicking on New and then when the dialogue box comes up, click Blog Post. You can then link your blog to Microsoft Word and publish at the click of a button. Very convenient AND you can spell check your blog which I don't think you can do on blogger.com.
That's all for now.
