Thunder Game

Sunday night we went to an OKC Thunder game.  Our seats were in Loud city,..... so the nose bleed section, but we had fun.  It was my first NBA game.  The Tunder beat the Warriors 119-109.  Kevin Durant got his first triple double!!  Parker did very well.  He was clapping, boucing, watching, and smiling.  He did get tired with about 5 minutes left of the first half.  And everytime the fans would cheer he would cry.  :(  So we only made it to half time.  But it was a lot of fun!

 

The following photos were taken with a point and shoot. 

Parker had two sets of ear plugs and we had a hard time keeping them in.  I think we put the ear plugs in about a hundred times. 

He even has his basketball pacifier.  :)

Jeri (Jerrie) Scott Review

This review is for anymore looking to have Jeri Scott at Rose State.

I have been enrolled in Psychology with Jeri (Jerrie) Scott for two months now.  This has been the worst experience with a professor/ teacher ever!  First off, Rose State changed the course book this year and it took Jeri Scott almost a month to figure out that it was a different book.  A Month into our class!  At that time she did make an announcement on the announcement page.  At that time though, Quiz 1 was due.  Well most of the class did very poorly with Quiz 1… including me.  I emailed her since she had still yet to reply to any student on the message forum.  I told her I didn’t do well on the quiz and was looking for a little help.  She then asked if I read the chapter it was over (which I did and took notes and studied it), and then said I was also suppose to read another part of the book (pages 400 and something)… that was news to me!  So I decided it was ok, and I would do better next time.  In the next month, we had an activity due, I got mine back and passed and did ok, but whatever I missed I am clueless about because she didn’t “correct” the paper… all she said was “you needed to go into more details”..  Then I had a test due the next day, I did fine on that also. Once again I have no idea what I missed so I was not learning the material at all.   What gets me is.. this last week we had another activity due.  We knew it was due for about a month, and Jeri Scott “opened” the lesson about 3 weeks ago.   Well the week it was due, about 3 days actually before the due date, many students had completed the activity and it was turned in, she went and changed the activity.  Closed the first activity and reopened it as a different activity with the same due date!  And she didn’t make an announcement or say anything at all about it.  NOTHING!  That is so wrong.  Bad teaching!  She is a very lazy teacher.  Her class is a lecture, but she never lectures.  She never says anything.  You are expected to read the book and basically guess which pages to read, and you never know when the lesson will change.  It’s like a game; I don’t have time for games.  I need a teacher that teaches.  So if you are thinking about taking Psychology with Rose State College, stay away from Jeri Scott! 

Fair Day!!!

On Friday we went to the Oklahoma State Fair.  I haven't been since 2009, not a lot has changed.  It is so expensive there.  $33 for us to get in, and almost another $40 for 5 things of nachos (with stale chips), 2 corn dogs (that were hard and cold), and 3 bottle waters.  Yikes!!  We didn't ride rides, that would of been another $120 for arm bands.  No thanks!  We walked around, the kids were dissappointed that they didn't get much in the way of free things (at the Shawnee Free Fair they got bags, pens, pencils, stickers, coloring pages, water, fly swatter, candy).  I do think the fair is more geared towards adults or teens, not really small children.  The weather was rainy and gloomy, but we still had a nice time. Here are a few photos.

Little man was pretty good.  I did have to carry him a lot.  A 19 pound baby, plus a camera that is pretty heavy, made me sore!  LOL!  It's my old age getting to me.  :)

The only two photos I got of the kids.  They are out of focus.  :(  And I didn't get one with all of them.  :*(  And none with me.  :(  Maybe next time.
