The Three S's of College

The other night, my roommate was telling me about how she heard that in college, there are 3 S's, sleep, studying and socializing. Out of those three, you are only able to have 2, which is completely TRUE!! Holy cow, there is no way you can study, socialize and get 8 hours of sleep in college!! Lately, I have been choosing the socializing and studying and not the sleeping part. Actually, my whole apartment has chosen these two...we don't sleep throughout the week at all!! This clearly is not a healthy choice, but I obviously can't give up studying and I really don't want to give up the social aspect of college. haha Anyway, lately, there have always been people over at our house at night. This was fun at the beginning of the semester, but now, it would be nice to have a night at home where I can just lay on the couch and relax without having to entertain people. :)
As part of my socializing S, this week, my roommate Brittany and I went on a double date with our good friends, Shaun and Matt. They wouldn't tell us what we were doing, so it was a complete surprise. Anyhow, we ended up having a food fight in Porter Park. It was so much fun! There was pudding, cake, jello, pop, frosting, chocolate syrup, flour, etc. and it was so much fun. Here is a before and after picture of a very memorable date :)



Here is the before picture...They got us these awesome clothes from D.I.!!

An assignment

So for my educational technology class, we had to create a blog and if we already had one, we had to create a post about ourselves that we would show to our students. So, for those of you who actually read this, that is why this post is here. So here it goes...

My name is Vanessa Palmer and I go to Brigham Young University-Idaho and love it. I love kids and teaching and am excited to get this year started. I am the youngest of four girls and I love my family very much! I love my nieces and nephew and love spending time with them. I love to be outside and travel, watch movies, and spend time with my friends.
I also LOVE teaching young children! I love the their incredible positive attitudes and how much they love to learn. I want to be able to love each and every one of them and help them reach their full potential. I love seeing how their faces light up when they have mastered a new skill. They are never afraid to ask for help and try new things.
