Extra Credit for Cora

As I was planning my classes for this fall – intro to human biology – I had a great idea. Always thinking about Cora, I decided to get my students involved. I have about 140 students… if they all know about Cora and go tell their families and friends – actually, if they even only tell 1 person! Look at how many people are now that much more educated and aware.

It was WAY harder than I thought.

I wrote “C.H.D.” on the board. No one knew

to teach in the best way possible

I started my new job on Monday teaching 4 sections of introductory human biology at a community college (2 classes MWF, 2 classes TTh). I passed out a questionnaire and told the students they didn’t even have to write their name on it because I wasn’t grading it; it was just for my own curiosity.

Needless to say, I didn’t come back with much color – especially on my back side, being that I can’t lay on my stomach!! Haha.

But it was a great trip.. the ocean was wonderful, the waves were huge and the resort was relaxing. We

Ughhh--yes, that's how I feel.

Well this is a new feeling.… beginning several days ago, I become nauseous after every meal. I have been trying to eat smaller amounts, slowly and more frequently, but I basically feel sick all the time. Steve says it’s indigestion, which is a symptom of pregnancy, I’ve just never had it before so I don’t really know what to expect. But it sucks!! And when I let myself get too hungry (like after being at work all evening), I eat too fast and
