Sorry Papaya, no advice here. I'm a terrible public speaker. I don't like all those people looking at me. *shudders*
On the school front, midterms start tomorrow with Nutrition. That one should be fun. I have a total of 8 midterms plus 5 significant tests, plus smaller quizzes and whatnot. See you all in two months. :sick:
500 words is plenty long enough; you just have to make sure you use good words. :nod:Quote:

When I was first starting teaching, a mentor recorded us during our teaching sessions and that is still one of most valuable feedback I have ever received.
You can put reminders between your cue cards reminding yourself to stop the foot-work.

I have created a new group for the eternal students amongst ourselves:
http://www.online-literature.com/for...php?groupid=86
If you are a student and would like to be a member, please let me know as it is invite only!
Nooo - please don't go away in a huddle by yourselves! I love reading about your scholarly endeavours - I'm just amazed at how you can all go to work, raise families, etc, etc and still get through your studies. How can I go on being so impressed if you take yourself off to a corner and mutter to yourselves?
I need to write my speech so why can't i get off litnet and get to it????
because it's an addiction :DQuote:

still no speech...
still not finished my essay...
Mine is due tomorrow.
Get off litnet and do your speech!!!!!!!!
Papaya> Does it involve Powerpoint etc? How long is it supposed to be?
nope, no powerpoint and it only has to be 5-7 minutes long. At least I've decided on a topic, I'm writing about a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Alrighty!
We won't be seeing you until you have written 300 words then! :)
the teacher has spoken!
Too much obviously!Quote:

Two translations down, one more to go. This week has been awful, but if I'll manage to do the whole translation tomorrow, I won't have to think about school again for a week.
I'm finished my Essay!!!! :banana: now i can buy "And Another Thing..." :banana: incentives are great! Now when i finish my Cezanne Essay, i'll treat myself to the New Bernard Cornwell book! :D
Ah, I miss school, I finished my bachelor in May. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my life, and considering going back to uni for a year to be accredited as a high school teacher.
What is your bachelor's in?Quote:

I hate homework!
I have a research paper due next week. I have an old research paper that I made an A on. I think I sould just go with what I have. The problem is that the old paper is saved as a .wps file and I can't open it. Any idea how to open this file?
Can you open it as an RTF?
Another science major! And a Canadian one at that!Quote:

Glad to hear everyone else is doing well!
Eww biochem was my least favourite subject. I had to take an entire course on nucleic acid biochemistry, it was hell.Quote:

I like biochemistry! It's physical chemistry I hate. This course is really a fundamentals course though. Basic nutritional biochem applied to the differences in animal species (ruminants, monogastrics (both foregut and hindgut fermenters) and avian systems). I'm an animal biology major :DQuote:

Oh I wanted to study animal biology, but I ended up with squiggly single celled things. I took a couple courses in animal biology but they only counted as electives.Quote:

Edit: Agreed physical chem does suck, boo math.
Speakin of Science, I have finished all of my general studies requirements for my major EXCEPT i still have to take one lab science next semester (or over summer)
I can take:
Physics
Meteorology
Bio
Chemistry
Geology
Anatomy
which do you suggest?
It depends on the level.
Anatomy can be a lot of fun, but I've never had a knack for it.
My personal favorite lab was organic chemistry, the theory can be a bit tricky but I found it crazy fun.

I am impressed that I am keeping up with my readings and also making a little dent on the word count.
It's getting harder and harder to keep up with all the schoolwork...
