library day

I took a personal day today...and spent it in the TWU library. I think that makes it official, I am a nerd. If my being in the library does not seal my fate as a nerd, maybe the fact that I really like the following quote I found today...

“To prepare him for the future life means to give him command of himself; it means so to train him that he will have the full and ready use of all his capacities; that his eye and ear and hand may be tools ready to command, that his judgment may be capable of grasping the conditions under which it has to work, and the executive forces be trained to act economically and efficiently.” From Dewey on Education: My Pedagogic Creed

Mr. Dewey was not a Christian, but I think he understood God's truth in the matters of training a child. Wish us luck, my cohort has our first "test" tonight. Dr. Miranda gave us 5 possible questions and instructed us to be ready to write 5-7 pages in our 2 hour period tonight. I am calling it a sign of things to come...I guess if it were easy we'd all be doctors.
