Blue Roses

I do love my EdPsych class. Today we were talking about cultural differences, like race and gender. We got into groups, and our group talked about race in music. We each got a sheet...top singers on the country list, R&B, Rap, Pop, Rock, etc. We had to fill out their gender, race and where they were from, either if we knew it or if we had to take a guess. Well, I got country. I hadn't really heard of any of them, except vaguely, so I made them all white males from the south. Lauren got pop, and nsync and BSB were of course on there. So I'm like, "Yeah, okay, see nsync's all from the east coast and the south...Brooklyn, Maryland just outside of DC, Memphis..." and I notice my group staring at me. It's like, "Just SHUT UP. Not a word!" LOL That's about when Bob noticed my watch...you know, when my hands flew up to cover my face. LOL Oh, well. <.g>

Then we talked about the exam...I'm in a group of 4. We don't actually stay in the room, we can go wherever we want to type it up. It can be a website, e-mail attachment, powerpoint presentation, whatever we want. So I think we'll just be coming back here to throw together a few pages and upload it to my site and e-mail Eric the URL. Pretty fun. <.g>

Oh, but then we got to break into three groups so we could do our presentations...mine was IDEA. We only got two minutes for each group, so I was talking super fast. I didn't even have to look at my notes. LOL But I got really good...the last two groups, I finished just as the timer went off. <.g> Perfect timing. Of course, I talked fast and crammed a whole lot of crap in there, so hopefully they understood me. LOL But it was fun!

And I just got back from taking my Artic test. It was kinda scary. <.g> But I don't think I did worse than a C. There were kinda obscure questions, "In the first video we watched this semester, what processes did the boy use?" "In this study from 1985, what did they learn?" I don't like questions like those. LOL But I knew a fair amount. : ) Now to comment on these two stories for class today, before leaving again in 30 minutes. Such fun.
