Today's notes from class

Remind101 is a way to get text message reminders about assignments.

Today's lecture was mostly about cognitive dissonance, which is something you experience when there is a difference between what you and what you need to know, I call that, panic-in-the-disco.

This feeling is one of the first things you'll notice in college, and it's a GREAT thing. It means your growing, and stretching your knowledge base!!!

When you feel this way it is important that you:

1. Take a deep breath, and smile.
2. Start to break the task down into manageable parts. 
3. Seek out the knowledge you need to fill in the gaps.
4. Go to your professor/teacher and ask for help. 

I am here every morning at 8:00 am. I don't leave until 5:00. If you need help come see me. If I'm busy with something or someone...keep trying. 

I love everyone equally, but time is precious. BE PERSISTENT. It is the best strategy:

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
