Sad Professor (REM)

So, during the time when I wasn't blogging, I taught my first class at OC. In case this is new news, I'm teaching adjunct for the MBA department. I taught this class online, and it was a very interesting experience.

I did most of my MBA online, and I loved it. Some of my students tried to take advantage of the resources on the Internet and I caught them using uncited sources. Their grades were not as good as I had hoped going in, but that isn't my fault.

Why would you PAY for an education and then CHEAT your way through the class? Are people today so concerned with titles that the initials on your resume are more important than actually learning something?

Completely frustrating.

Too Much Information (The Police)

I found this on WordSpy.com. I totally get how this guy feels. I don't think Dena reads my blog, but she would get a kick out of this too... :)

e-mail bankruptcy n. The state of being unable or unwilling to read and respond to all the e-mail messages one has received, and so to delete those message and start over again.

Example Citation: Last month, venture capitalist Fred Wilson drew a lot of attention on the Internet when he declared a 21st century kind of bankruptcy. In a posting on his blog about technology, Wilson announced he was giving up on responding to all the e-mail piled up in his inbox.

"I am so far behind on e-mail that I am declaring bankruptcy," he wrote. "If you've sent me an e-mail (and you aren't my wife, partner, or colleague), you might want to send it again. I am starting over."

Been there, haven't done that. Yet...

Summer Lovin'

So, we've been busier than ever. I'm very sorry for the lack of blogging!
We had 3 weeks of Basketball Camp and Summer League at DCHS. Mike was running the League, and I did all of his accounting. :) The kids enjoyed going up to the school a few times and having lunch or dinner with Daddy. He worked about 60 hours a week, maybe more. We celebrated last night by going on a date, sans kiddos.

We went to the Zoo on Memorial day. Here are a couple of pics from that day:

At the new Oklahoma Trails exhibit ~ It's awesome!!
