Who are you?

That was my issue when I was in Israel for the year. You don’t want to answer that question the typical way, “I’m a nurse/lawyer/CPA. I’m so-and-so’s daughter/wife/mother. I live where ever.” So, how does one answer that question?

The question cannot be answered. However, after hours of pondering this question, I believe that who a person “is” is a collection of his or her actions and reactions. How a person behaves, and how a person reacts to other’s behavior is their essence.

Any alternative answers?

Freedom

Oh, the wonderful feeling of not studying. No, I'm not done with finals, but I did take my nursing final, which is the only one that I really had to study for. I'm hoping my computer teacher will tell me I dont have to take my final (I need a 13 on the final to get an A. gimme a break). I'll review a little for sociology, but she gives a review sheet that has everything we need to know - and there's no essay because we just handed in papers.
So, while I'm not truly free 'til Wednesday... I feel as though I am.

Finals

The reason why I have not been blogging.

My nursing final is on Thursday, Friday I have computers and Wednesday I have sociology - but I'm not so worried about the last two.

Here's the picture I tried to post last time:



Isn't she the cutest EVER?

I got a 94 on my nursing test yesterday! It seems that 94 has been my lucky number this semester. Lots of 94's. I'm very proud of myself.
Sunday was my niece's 2nd birthday party, and she's just the cutest girl in the entire world. I'm tempted to put up a picture...
Here she is:











Oh, you mean she's not there?
Right, that's because Blogspot wont let me. It keeps resetting or something. So instead of a picture of my REALLY cute niece with frosting all over her face, you get a bunch of empty space.

Sorry.

Academic Integrity

Please, tell me if you think this is fair:
My nursing teacher gave us an online quiz, to take at home, on our own time, sometime over the next week. Then she sent us an email saying she expects academic integrity from all of us, no friends, no books. This is a class that means a lot to everyone taking it, which means no one would ever do anything that could make them fail, but she could never know. I mean, I guess if she see's that you took an hour to take a 16 question quiz, but that's it. So, is it fair of her to expect academic integrity?


Truth is, the quiz was pretty easy, I just think it was wrong of her to ask. I remember in high school, if anyone ever wanted us to do anything at home, they automatically made it open book... because they knew at least some people would do it anyways...

Asking for academic integrity on quiz taken at home gives the dishonest people an unfair advantage.
