Professor one on one

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.
