Okay, so if you're reading this you probably already know that I've waited way past when I was supposed to post for class. So I suppose that I should give an explanation.

Basically, I was debating if this was going to be something that I really thought I should do. Those of you that know me know that I have frequent battles between doing what will give me a good grade and what will be good and worthwhile to me. It is surprising how many times I determine that those are two seperate things. Anyways, I have come up with a solution to this little problem. What you are reading now is basically what you are going to get for the entire project. If something interesting strikes me while I am teaching, or if something comes up that I think will interest or help me to write (because lets face it, these journals are basically just about writing for yourself as the audience) then it will find its way onto the website.

Yes, I know that this is not the intended use of this journal. And yes, I'm well aware that my grade is probably going to be hurt by this. But the way I see it, I'm an education major. And as an education major, I have been taught that students should be given the freedom to do what interests them and makes them learn within the framework of a broad assignment. In this case, I'm the student, and its my learning and educational value that matter. So what the heck, here goes nothing, and let the grades fall as they will. (Somehow I doubt my education professors will derive the same conclusion when it comes time to grade).
