I began my nutrition course the other day and made the huge and stupid mistake of "not" taking the little check mark out of the box in the introduction forum. Shame on me, big time! I've spent the better part of the past few days eliminating over 1,000 emails from my inbox, and they are still arriving. Popular class, huh? Of course, I've tried to return and uncheck/stop the madness without any luck. Sigh. I'm supposed to be tracking four days of food intake, and getting a quiz done before Tuesday. Yes, I can see where getting back into the swing of things takes some adjustment. I have the second (world studies) class starting Monday. HAHAHAHAHAHA! The madness ensues.....<br /><br />As to the communication part of things, too many of us, unfortunately, do not subscribe to the KISS method. I know I learn better from a variety of methods, and even with variety I much prefer to choose which is most effective rather than being forced to do each type. If I understand, I can soar and excel; if I don't get it, then let me keep asking and trying different ways. I think that's true for just about everyone, really. However, when it comes to school, learning, and getting salient points across, we are subject to the whim(s) of the communicator. ~ Blessings!Kathy Custrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687890338800680972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-71990794019908294712013-01-24T07:59:40.674-08:002013-01-24T07:59:40.674-08:00Ah yes, the "chosen" tyrant.

All of the o...That's what I was aiming for! LOL<br />All of the older four take an interest in history, just in different ways. Raistlin likes knights and castles, Bowen is all over the place, Delaney likes learning the way it was for women and home life and Coles current fascination is with figuring out why people like Hitler were able to take power and do the things they did. Pretty deep for an almost 10 year old.

It meant that when I saw F1 written on a seed packet I knew what that meant, but no more really. GMO doesn't change it much, it's just an interference in the process really. I still don't approve of it. <br /><br />But here's the thing, WHY is it unusual to want to communicate and learn?

All I remember ...I remember genetics from college. All I remember 20 years later is how to look at corn and figure out who its parents were. Not sure if that even works now with GMOs. Communication seems to be the problem with nearly everything. You are unusual because you want to communicate and you want to learn. wantonbanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16353930730534950929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-83028851545324002172013-01-24T06:46:28.405-08:002013-01-24T06:46:28.405-08:00:-)
