Our House

Billy and I have been living in our little condo for two months now. I LOVE it!! There are a few things that I don't like, for instance, our garage isn't attached to the house, but that's really no biggie as Billy uses it for his precious Charger :@ But other than that, it's a great first started house. Anywho, I wanted to do a blog about our house, especially since not much people have seen it! lol

8 is a lucky number in China. The word for it -- ba -- sounds so similar to the word for prosper and wealth (fa) that many people believe eight is a number that is linked to prosperity. There is also a resemblance between two digits, "88," as the word for it means double joy (shuang xi)

8 Facts about 8:

• You can cut the number 8 in half vertically or horizontally, and both halves mirror themselves perfectly. Perfect symmetry lends itself to perfect balance.

School, school, school

This may sound very very strange but I actually am enjoying school this semester. Yes it's a bother to go to class, do homework, and take tests but I enjoy the class. Currently, my major is Math Teacher. I have changed my major like 3 times so I really hope i still to this one. lol. I enjoying teaching and love when people understand the concept, I just dunno if I'll enjoy it when I have a classroom full of 30 students. I wanna teach middle school . . . I know, I know, what the HELL am I thinking? lol But I figured I could make a difference in their lives esp since middle school is where basic math skills are learned. If a student doesn't know that, there's no way he/she can success in high school or in the real world.

Last week in my Intro to Teaching class we watch a movie called "How Difficult Can This Be?" Richard Lavoie presents how children with Learning Disabilities perceive, process, and learn information. It was very very very interesting. I learned so much by jus being able to participate in the activities Richard used. Below is a short clip about Fairness. He discussed many topics but this is the ONLY one i could find on the web :D
