What to do with old notes!

After taking the final for my Sociology class, I didn’t know what to do the 43 pages of notes the professor had given us about the War on Drugs; so I gave them to Maria to use for coloring…But Maria had other ideas!

So Sally, did you learn anything?

So, it is the last week of the semester and I’m sure you are wondering what I have learned:

• In Spanish: Bluetooth technology was named after a viking from Denmark, named Harold Bluetooth who helped open up communication among his people
• In Family Processes: the divorce rate is obtained by dividing the rate of marriage in a given year by the rate of divorces…so the 50% we all hear may be off, not necessarily one out of every 2 marriages end in divorce, there just may be twice as many marriages as divorces in a given year.
• In English: Benjamin Franklin had a huge ego and as he says: “I cannot boast of much success in acquiring the reality of this virtue [humility], but I had a good deal with regard to the appearance of it.”
• In Social Problems: Well, I already know where all social problems come from and what they told us in class was NOT even close…But the professor did tell us how to smoke Marijuana*.
• In Child Development: A LOT!! But probably one of the things that stuck out to me was that when babies are learning to talk they can make the sounds for any language (called phonemes). After learning their native language(s) their brain and muscles start to forget how to make those sounds (synaptic pruning).
• In Introduction to Child Development and Family Studies: I learned how to make a resume and what the rest of my college career will look like.

Anyway, I have grown a lot this semester and have learned a lot in class and out. I have come to love my Lord Jesus more than ever. Recently I have been reading Psalm 119 verses 97-104 have encouraged me this past week.

99I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
100I understand more than the aged,
Because I have observed Your precepts. ~Psalm 119:99-100
