Week 2 8/31/12

   This week in the Pathways program, I learned new information in psychology. We completed work in the textbook and reviewed it. The whole class had a discussion about the different ways to learn about personality with the BLIS tactic. S data is self evaluation, so the questioner asks the induvidual how they see the world and what they believe in. I data are judgements by knowledgeable informants about general attributes to the induvidual's personality. L data is life outcomes, such information as what groceries they have bought, their employer,  income, and zip code. B data is behavior, as in watching what the person does in life situations.
        In my body conditoning class, I learned more thera band stretches and different ways I can exersize my toes. We sickle in and out, we spell our name, we lean in and out of the pointe and flex. I learned with two bouncy balls on my butt that I can turn out and lift my legs above the ground and roll around and it's a really good stretch for turnout.
      I have an interview for Cedars today for my dance class that I might be teaching there as an internship .
       At San Andreas we watched a movie on civil rights and had to answer questions about it. I have been working on geometry in the program plato with Christof.

Week 1 8/24/12

This week was the first week of officially being in the Pathways program at San Andreas High School. On Wednesday, I went to my first COM psychology class and already have a lot of homework. The class seems alright. The teacher is not as bad as my first psychology teacher at Drake. We are studying the different forms of psychological methods and how they all fit together. How not only one is correct, such as psychological masterminds Freud and Skinner; who believe their forms are the only right way.

      My other class is body conditioning for dance technique. The teacher is great. We do excersises and condition our body on a ballet based curriculum. We use thera bands and yoga balls to better yet use our bodies to stretch and strengthen. The class teaches us how to properly stretch, excersize, condition, and eat nutritionally.
