Sigmund Freud, perhaps the most widely known and most criticized psychologist ever, is the subject of my Theories of Personality course next week. To me, Freud has always been a bit like the Einstein of psychology. His theories have yet to be disproven, even if they are a little strange. I am very excited about […]

I transmitted my latest transcript from CPCC to Gaston at the end of December, December 14th to be exact, and finally today the transfer of credit has appeared. I feel that the entire process has become over burdened and is not as efficient as it should be. CPCC and Gaston use the same common course […]

I am starting to wonder how my C# course (CSC 253) is going to function. First of all, my instructor, who is also the department chair, does not ever respond to my emails unless I send an email to my Computer Programming advisor and ask her to contact him for me, which always gets him […]

I just discovered the term paper topic for my “Theories of Personality” class, and it is a bit of a shocker: “WHO ARE YOU and WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?”. My first reaction to this is to run away from the topic screaming “I don’t want to know myself!” or some other overly […]

This is the buttermilk white bread…

ART 114 Self-paced course until February 2nd, at which time there will be a weekly unit due, this involves discussion boards and quizzes. Blackboard @ Gaston ART 288 DH This course meets […]

This is what my Nikon D60 will do in the dark with very little light (one tiny outdoor bulb), while being handheld. This is ISO-1600 @ F/4.8 for 1/6 sec @ 68mm (72mm in 135 equiv). There was no flash or anything in use for this shot. Between Active D-Lighting, Active Noise Reduction and the […]
