Boxtops For Education

Favor to ask! Logen's school is collecting boxtops, Campbell's labels, and Tyson labels. They turn them in and the companies send them $ or educational products (such as new computers for students). Logen's school earned 2,100 last year. This is the 2nd year for the school to be open, they are hoping to make up to 20,000- which is the max amount Boxtops will allow.

If you buy any of the above products- I would LOVE it for you to save them for me and send them via postal mail. I can comp you for the postage (save them up for 2 or so months and send them to me in bulk to save in postal fees).

Here is a link to all of the products you can clip 'boxtops' from, there are MANY!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Failure To Thrive

(BARB- I left a comment for you~)
Im doing my developmental psych study sheet- I'm kinda, um, weirded out (for lack of a better word) by the definition the book gives for FTT.

FTT: a growth disorder, usually present by 18 months of age, caused by a lack of affection and stimulation

Logen was given a FTT Dx around 12 months. So, what exactly was the Dr thinking when he did this? Was he just thinking it in terms of purely growth or do I read more into it? It makes me think there are actually people out there that think maybe I don't pay enough attn to Logen- which at 12 months (nor now, which I know now- I could certainly spend more time with him)- he was still a nursing baby. He slept next to me. I was a SAHM 24/7. How did he lack anything?! I bought all the right toys, we watched those Baby Einstien videos... Stimulation! Stimulation! Stimulation!

I know there are alot of you out there who also have kids with the FTT label. What do you think? Does that definition upset you any?

I'm a "Note-Taker"

Thats my title in my Psych class. I was assigned this duty by my teacher- 2 people were picked out of a rather large class (something like 250 of us). My duties- to take notes for another student. I REALLY wana ask my note taking guy why I am taking notes for him, but I am afraid it's rude.

I learned afterwards that in my theatre course there is a young man (who just happens to be one of our football players) that gets notes emailed to him via another student. So, I should google my guys name and see if he's in it b/c he is a sports dude!

At the end of the semester I will get awarded a letter or something to verify I completed (16 hours per credit hour) of community service. I think this part is pretty neat. I opted for it over payment of $25 per credit hour. The community service will look good for med school applications ;)

That DREADED Bus

Today must not have been my 'bus riding' day. I park a good ways from where our actual classes are, in a lot where a good majority of students park and catch the bus. The bus ride takes about 5-10 minutes to get to my stop. This morning I arrive, and get about 50ft from the door of the bus. He closes the door up and drives on. I happened to park in the west lot- so I RAN my booty off to the east lot. I got about 30ft from the door before he left. I dropped my white jacket on the ground (in a puddle no doubt- its a rainy, nasty day here).

French Test- must've been hard for us all. Last test, we were all out of there fairly quickly. Today was not so- about 95% of the class was in there until the last second!
Genetics- Oh, I really don't like that class at all. It is SO boring. It sounded interesting. But, my professor is at the University for a major research project and I don't think she could care one bit about actually teaching anybody anything. She's so random.
I spent 2 hours working on my Psych 3093 study guide (and no, I am not even half way done!) I must finish it tonight! My test is Wednesday!

More bus drama. Again, I get to the stop and hes closing the stinkin' door when I am 20 seconds away! So, I run, thinking maybe I can make it to the next stop in time to get on. No, I am 15 seconds away! I swear!!!! I decided that instead of sitting there for 10 minutes waiting for the next bus to circle around, I'd just start walking. So, I did. And, I was a little unsure about how to get to the parking lot on foot. But, I made it. And- guess what- right behind me the bus pulled in. I left class at 2:15 and got to my van at 2:45ish. I guess it takes about the same amount of time to walk as it does wait for the bus when you miss the 2:20 one!

So, ends another drama filled school day in the life of moi :0

Foreign Language...

BITES!!! Ask me tomorrow and I might tell you I enjoy it. But, after spending about 85% of my day studying one I must tell you I do not, can not, & will not enjoy it. I'm kicking myself in the butt for not studying better along the way like I did throughout the last chapter (and aced that test with a 96). However, there were a few things in the last few weeks that happened unexpectedly- and left me at a point where the last thing I wanted to do was focus on French.

The point of an 11:30 pm whiney post.... I dread my exam tomorrow morning. And, I just thought you all should know it.

My Phone's Guna BLOW!

My Mommy sent out a MASS text message this morning to remind everybody and their dog to text me and tell me Happy Birthday!

I had 191 texts in my inbox last check! Thanks to all of you who have wished me a Happy Birfday :) I'm a ripe 'ole 24 today!

Holy Moses!

There's a cRaZy guy on Campus. I like to listen to this guy while I eat lunch outside. He's extreme. He's got videos on Youtube. I think it's funny when students try to argue with him. He goes off on random topics and won't really answer questions. I wrote a few things he said (SANG actually, he likes to sing) yesterday. I'm also posting one of his videos. NOTE: I am NOT promoting this guy AKA His nickname is Moses at the U. I just think he's nuts. And, it's kinda funny how some people can be so extreme in their beliefs.
Moses said: (Not me!)
* (This was a song) Fraternities and sororities have 1 thing in common, STD's. Oh, there's a cup of trembling {didn't catch the word} from God and me. Let the sunshine in, turn away from sin. Sinners never win. Turn away from sin.
* Do you know why the coast gets hurricanes? Because, God hates them? Why do people get migraines? B/c God hates them. New Orleans gets hit so badly b/c God hates them, it's full of sin. (this was from last Wednesday)
* (Another lovely song) What did you expect at Virgina Tech? There was a man who was taught he came from a fish {Yea, I was thinking WTF here too?!} U of A, I'm blaming you too. What did you expect at Virgina Tech? You love rock and roll and your beer. I'm blaming you today (he blows his whistle) People blame it on the guns. Well, do you blame the spoon or Rosie O'Donnell for being fat? Take the guns away from the people. It's a crime to give a gun to a homosexual. Letting a woman with short hair have a gun is an outcry. (I had to go to class, I didn't get to finish this one!) {I'm posting his YouTube video on this - it was posted this August, so I guess he 'recycles' his speeches}
* He sang a song last week about "Sprawled-Out Leg Sally" the sorority girl with STD's.
You will have to pause the music at the bottom and hit play on this~

Do you see where I am coming from? It's like a comedian. This dude is really crazy. If you can't tell so far- he doesn't particularly care for homosexuals or frats/sororities.

I've Noticed Today-

* I have a hole in my pants- in the butt, where it's sewn together. Thank goodness I have a sweat shirt to toe around my waste!
* The colleges toilet paper is like 1/4 ply. Not kidding, you can read through it!
* There is ALWAYS somebody at the mirror doing makeup or hair. It *almost* makes me feel bad for not fixing mine all the time, almost.
* Parker has 1 pair of pants that fit. And, they are still a little to big. He'll be 2 in a month and 18 months are too big. Go figure~
* Logen's had 2 (possibly 3) seizures already today. Lovely. WTH is up with this?!
* I have alot of studying to get done and shouldn't be blogging. :P

So, I learned that in the age group 18-24 1 in 4 people have a STD. WOW~ So, when I go to the bathroom at school, I'm all creeped out. Like, don't touch anything b/c like only 1 other peron (statistically) in here is 'clean'. Since when did STD's get so bad. I'm oblivious.

Going to class. Say a prayer for Logen today. He's had it rough!
