I am a failure.
Literally.
I got kicked out of Snow College. Shhh, don't tell.
This was years ago of course, and I have learned so much throughout my time at Snow. The biggest thing I've learned, or perhaps re-learned, is to love education. I'm going to Weber State now and between my time at Snow as well as taking a break from school, I want to be here. I LOVE LEARNING! I LOVE SCHOOL! I feel like I just want to be a permanent student as my career. I cannot get enough of school and the things I'm learning. I am actually studying and going to class unlike last time and it is making a phenomenal impact!
I just took my first exam in history and I got 78%. I was not very happy with that score so I went to my professors office hours today. He informed me that he changed one of the answers so I actually got 80%. Wahoo! Not amazing, but better than a C, and much better than a D or F. I appreciate the one-on-one he was willing to provide during office hours so I can succeed in school. I know professors can be really busy so it's nice to know they actually care and want their students to do well.

Good professors
Today I walked into my History 1700 class and something strange took over me. My professor walked in and my heart went wild. A crush? A big fat massive schoolgirl crush you say? It was weird to say the least. I have never, in my history of learning, ever had any type of crush on any type of instructor. Talk about inappropriate. OK, it's not inappropriate since it's not a "I'm gonna act on my feelings" crush.
The thing is, my professor is brilliant. He loves what he teaches and he wants us to love it to. He is a superb teacher. He keeps everyone interested in what he's saying and he is very animated. I am so grateful for good professors like him. They make learning so much more fun.
