Gold Star!

On the first day one of my professors told the class about his "Gold Star" policy. If he asks a question that he thinks is hard, or a question that has yet to be covered in lecture, and a student answers it without help he will give that student a gold star sticker.

Guess who earned the first Gold Star of the semester? This Girl!!


this picture is from my phone, but it will suffice



Next Step: Getting an A on the first exam so he'll put a gold star on it and I can hang it on my fridge. This may be rough, considering how I have 4 exams that week, but hopefully it'll happen!

Way to go you smarty pants! I always knew it was in you. Keep up the good work. :)

P.S. I've been meaning to ask you about how things are going in the aftermath of the Tucson shootings? Have things calmed down at all and were you affected by it?

Things in Tucson are much better now. The shopping center where it happened isstill full of posters / teddy bears / candles and tons of other things people have dropped off for memorial and support. That's actually in north Tucson (almost Marana) so I haven't been affected by that.

While Gabrielle Giffords was still in UMC, the traffic and visitors and protestors (for anti-guns, pro-guns, and whatever else they could think somewhat related) were out of control. We live a few block behind UMC so that was nuts.

There were visitors outside of the hospital 24/7 for Gabrielle and people were trying to sneak in and visit her. There was a line that usually took 40+ minutes if you were trying to get into the hospital for non-medical purposes. You were frisked and questioned on who you were visiting and why. Luckily, we don't know anyone in the hospital sowe didn't have to deal with that.

But now that Gabrielle was transferred to Texas, the visitors and protestors have left and everything is calmed down back to normal. It definitely was crazy for a while though!
