classes and dances

I have a few minutes before I need to head off to class this morning, so I thought I would make a quick blog entry.
I have been trying to keep up with homework this week. I also went to my doctor yesterday for my check-up and everything was fine. I go back in another year. I really like this doctor, but I am usually there for a really long time because he is so popular and so there is a long wait. My appointment was for 2:40PM and he came in at 3:45PM. That is how it has always been. He does spend about 30 minutes with each patient talking and letting us know what to do. I love him, so I do not mind the wait. Then he wanted me to have some bloodwork done, so that was some more time. I got home around 4:30PM..LOL!!
Today after school Josh is going to a dance. I haven't let him go to any until now, we shall see what he thinks. He will probably tell me how inappropriate it is. He cracks me up. He wanted to try it out though. I want him to do some more things too and see what he enjoys. I wanted him to join some clubs (Student Council, Beta, etc), but his friends think the clubs are stupid, so none of them joined. I think they are just afraid to do something new. Maybe they will find something they enjoy.
Well, I am rambling. I need to get on to class. Do you know how hard it is for me to sit in class from 8AM-11:50AM?? It is hard. I need to move. That is 3 classes all at once...so that is why so long. It is Teaching Methods, so that is why they are taught together like that. They are good classes, I enjoy them.
I hope you are having a good week. Judy sent me some new siggies!! I love them!!

Temple Grandin

I did not realize it had been a week since I had posted. I started my college classes and I think they will be fun. It will be a lot of work, but I think I will like it.
My week was fast. My co-worker and I left for St. Louis Wednesday after school and we got to our hotel around 7PM or so. We had our first conference on Saturday. We heard Paula Kluth, PhD. She spoke on autism and the inclusive classroom. She was great and I learned a lot.
Then Friday we heard Temple Grandin. She was amazing.If you have not seen the movie Temple Grandin on HBO, it is very good. It is up for some Emmy's and I am actually going to watch tomorrow night and hope they win some. Claire Danes played her in the movie. She spoke aboutmany different issues regarding autism including medication, careers, and she took questions.
Then after the conference we went to the St. Louis arch and looked around and took some pictures. There is a museum in the bottom of the arch that has a lot of Lewis and Clark stuff in it, so we went through that. It was fun. Then we headed back home this morning (Saturday)> It was a lot of fun.
When I got home I checked my e-mail for college and I have some homework, so I worked on that a little today and I will try to get it finished tomorrow. It is due Tuesday. I have some presentations and I think my teacher wants me to talk about seeing Temple Grandin to the class.
I am going to go for now. I am really tired. Have a nice week next week. I will not be as busy, so I will try to post again during the week.
