Psychology Discussion

Last week of this term, and one of the discussion topics is "Is it ethical to genetically design a child for artistic, athletic or academic achievements"? Let me tell you, it stirred quite a debate in class! Most people say that genetics should only be used to correct health/medical issues. Others think that, as long as the technology is there, why should we not use it to create a Beethoven or a Mozart or another Einstein...

What do you think...?

New cards :)

These plus four additional cards have been added to my Etsy Cards section. They were fun to do and far less time intensive than my cross-stitch cards :)

Well, Week 3 of this term is almost over: Adobe Illustrator is not as complicated as I feared (not so far, at least), College Writing II is requiring a 10 page/2000 words essay by the end of the term (Domestic Violence or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease are my choices). And then, there is my Psychology class. Psychology is not my major, but so far it's my most demanding class. Very interesting material, don't get me wrong but a lot of "homework"... LOL

What's your favorite?

I don't know if I am ready for Halloween, but I thought I should add a couple cute cards to my Etsy shop - it cannot hurt, can it...?

I'm on week 2 of my fifth term; so far things are going smoothly. Psychology is interesting: we are discussing the ethics of animal research, and we are supposed to take part in some studies. I've got to do that tomorrow, after Jim leaves.

Illustrator is something else; not hard but challenging, Trying to draw with a mouse - NOT easy! But I got about 50% of this week's work done, so I should be OK.

Well, I think I'll go try to get some sleep!

The newest listings in my Etsy shop - I called them "Cream & Black". I was fortunate enough to have sold two already, less than a day after posting them. I like them all, but I especially love the one with the black velvet flower :)

Otherwise, I started my fifth term yesterday: College Writing II, Adobe Illustrator & Psychology. I am looking forward to what is ahead!

Last week of school

Today starts the last day of classes for this term. Of course, I have an Algebra final as well as a final essay for my College Writing class.

I have confirmed my classes for next term and did my book order! I had to buy Adobe CS4, because CS3 seems to be already obsolete for my Design classes... LOL... I hope I will not have to buy yet another version before finishing school - the software is getting mighty expensive!

Well, my classes are: Design/Illustrator, College Writing II and Psychology. It will be an interesting term, that's for sure!

I need some coffee... I should not start a day without it :)
