cow jumped over the moon

So today was a very interesting day.
Im actually enjoying my classes. I never really found what I was learning about interesting. My main goal was just graduation. Kept telling myself "just graduate grace...just graduate" then i thought even that was pushing it so i started saying "pass these classes grace... just pass these classes" Usually I have this sense of "I'm gonna fail" but I have been noticing that, that feeling has calmed, been pushed back. I was expecting it to come back again but then I realized in disscussion yesterday that I actually liked what I was learning. I was engaging in conversation about things that I never really thought about like the theories of Piaget, Erickson, Vygotsky and what the real definition of intelligence is. It felt so surreal.




Have you ever thought about the process of reading? we are so old and "knowledgeable" that we don't think twice about how we read. It comes to us automatically.We are so focused on what the text means that we dont think about the process by which meaning is conveyed. I dunno I was in class today and it just blew my mind. Teaching how to read is one of the hardest things to do... just because you know how to read doesn't mean you can teach it. Think about it what would do to teach a 2 year old how to read? just give them a book? except them to grow into it eventually? they need to be taught the very basics that even i cant remember... isnt that amazing?!

God created us in such an amazing way that i cant even begin to understand. Todays class really made me realize how small we really are. The complicated process of how we grow... we think nothing about it but if you break it down and see it... its seriously amazing. I started crying on my drive home. Yes, my emotions got the best of me but I just realized how lucky I am.
How lucky we all are.

haha im sorry if this bored you but i found it interesting :]
