Students think of letters as part of an alphabet system—they look at modulations, emotions, contrast, repetition—and try to create relationships among all their letter forms.

I am not sure when exactly I will design/build this site but hey, I changed the homepage. I did it because I was pressured to.

“Teaching and learning are the same things. Teaching is a learning experience because in order to teach you have to examine the thing very closely so you are learning yourself what its nature is” from the introduction to Tea with Theresa podcast that I was introduced to via Jonathan’s blog



What became of weekends?

When I was in college, I never had weekends but I always thought it would be different once I graduated.

Once I graduated, I worked for a few months before moving to North Carolina for graduate school.

At North Carolina State University, I still did not have weekends but kept telling myself that it would be different once I graduated.

Once I graduated, I had a few months off. I slept mostly at first…but really, how much can one sleep? I started feeling useless and was missing the energy that accompanied my once busy schedule. 

Now that I am at UNT, I could have weekends, if I wanted…However, that would mean sacrificing research for the sake of laying around all day watching television or doing something that will not make a difference in the world. I have grown to realize that work is what makes me happy. Is this weird? Maybe there is a larger psychological problem here…I can, to some extent, predict/control work but I cannot predict/control life.

The break was amazingly refreshing.

I cannot wait for Tuesday’s classes to start.

The hectic pace.

The students.

The energy.

The work.

The criticism.

The teaching.

The learning.
