Day 4, 5, 6

Too much work trying to keep everything updated. Facebook, Flickr, Blog. But i've been having fun with my camera lately, but i need some fresh new ideas for some photos.

Anyways, here is day 4, 5, 6 of my 365 challenge.


DAY 4!

I'm still getting used to these early mornings. It doesn't help that I'm up late either.




DAY 5!

JAMMING SESSION WITH JONNY AND TREVOR! Sooo much fun. I rented a multi-pattern condensor mic, set all our equipment up, and jammed the night away.


DAY 6!

Just bored. lol




I'll try and update regularly.

Ciao for now.

The most important meal of the day


I almost forgot to take my 365 picture last night. So I decided to take my pic before I left this morning for school. I forgot to have my breakfast yesterday, and i was dying through my morning class. I realize how important breakfast is to my academic performance in class now. So my pic today is of my breakfast, yummy cereal! 

I just got out of my ED-FX class, and it is very interesting. I was still a little unsure of my decision to pursue teaching as a career, but this class just gets me more and more excited to finish my degree. 

The teacher showed us a video off Youtube of this guest speaker talking to a huge audience. the speaker is in grade 5. This video has boosted my desire to teach. just watch.

It is amazing.

Future Career

I've been thinking a lot lately about my future career. I'm in the Bachelor of Education program at Grant MacEwan at the moment, and I'm aspiring to become a teacher. I'm actually excited about this. I look forward to my classes and the overall idea of being a teacher.

Tomorrow i have my ED-FX class, and it's actually pretty cool. We're pretty much creating a school within the classroom. We've divided up the class according to our desired majors and we've created a school with teachers for the K-12 system. It's actually pretty well rounded, we have teachers for every course except for math haha. no one wants to be a math teacher. I like this class the most so far because it's giving me an idea of what my first few months of teaching with be like. We're preparing the classroom as we would if it were our first day teaching. We're creating the environment, the tone, and the overall feel of the classroom so that it is inviting for new students. I read a quote earlier this week about teaching,  " How can we open the minds of others, if we do not keep an open mind ourselves?" I really like this because it reminds me that if i become a teacher, i have to maintain an open mind to all the possibilities and create my own way of teaching, one that works for my unique students.

Anyways... Here is day 2 of Operation 365. Enjoy!

Operation 365

Firstly i would like to start off by apologizing for not updating anything for quite some time. I'm Sorry. I'll have you know that i have been good. Things are going well. I'm just starting my second week of school, and i love my classes so far. In case you were wondering, I'm taking Bachelor of Education. but anywhooooo... that;s not what this post is about. This post is about OPERATION 365!! What is operation 365??!?!  you might be asking yourself right now. Well, i'll tell you. Op 365 is a personal photo blogging challenge where you try to capture yourself in a photo once per day for an entire year!! O_O wow Dylan, you're conceited. no one wants to see a picture of you everyday. T___T you guys are soo mean. Well i'll have you know this will be my second attempt to complete this difficult and committing task. My first attempt was pretty good. I was 96 days in. That's not bad. but this time i'm going to try and go for the full 365! give me your support, remind me, and join me if you think you got what it takes. You can follow my progress on Flickr and Facebook (maybe if i ever get around to uploading). And for those of you who feel like joining in, send me a link.

Well that's all for now, time for me to get back to studying.

Cheers,

~Dylan
