This evening I was reviewing the syllabus for my literature course, trying to get an idea about due dates and what type of work load I should be prepared for. When I opened the syllabus, I looked for the "Evaluation" section, the standard place for finding such information. I found no such section of the […]
I just took my first attempt at the first quiz in American History. It didn’t take me long, about 25 minutes for 20 questions (out of 30 minutes allowed). I was a little uncertain about it going in, but I did relatively well. I don’t really love history, but don’t hate it either. I got […]
A quick email to Dr. Dellinger this morning fixed all of my problems. Proper forms are on file with the registrar to recognize my HIS-131 as "in progress", and Dr. Dellinger defended my change of course for the literature course to the registrar.
At some point the Associate in General Education disappeared from my "programs" list at Gaston College. With the letter I just received I wonder if perhaps something was done to cause problems for that degree as well. It was already complete when I turned in the documentation, I was just waiting for a semester to […]

Last time I grew herbs in an AeroGarden I didn’t have the ability to take macro pics, but now I do. Here are a few of them: Purple Basil Chives Mint Thyme Dill
Today I went shopping for supplies for my sculpture project. I first went to Hobby Lobby, where I was originally in search of "Sculptamould". I found none. After a bit of browsing and amusing myself with looking at electric trains, model truck kits (btw, if anyone sees an F350 kit, please let me know), drawing […]
Monday was my first real day in the studios at Gaston College and I found myself in a familiar, but yet totally strange environment. First of all, there is a huge age range in the studios. The youngest student is 18, she just graduated from high school and is starting a degree in art education. […]
After spending many hours pouring over lists of artists, I selected one to discuss for my Art History II course. I selected Eddie Kent, a British potter. http://www.pots-n-things.co.uk/ I like his style, it is very simple, but at the same time has a lot of expression. His glazes are also very simple and highlight the […]
