Start of School

As most students and teachers are counting down the days until Summer starts, I am doing the opposite; going back to school.

Yesterday was my first day back at school after taking almost exactly 4 years off to do other things, like work.  I am at Butler University with the intention of receiving my teaching license along with a Masters in Effective Teaching.  I am planning on teaching history and geography on the high school level.  Butler has a small program for individuals in similar situations as me that have been working in areas outside of schools but want to become teachers.

In class we watched this Ted Talk that I thought was pretty awesome and just wanted to share it as I will likely continue to share articles and videos and what nots as I progress through this program.

It is called "The Danger of a Single Story" by Chimamanda Adichie

My Top 10 Movies

I've been trying to come up with a list of my All Time Top Movies.  This has proven to be way more difficult than I ever foresaw.  And I know that I am missing one or two that I will likely try to edit it in at a later date and hope no one notices.  But here goes:

1. Tombstone
2. The Sting
3. Die Hard
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. Godfather
6. Goodfellas
7. The Prestige
8. Pirates of the Caribbean
9. Bourne Identity
10. The Incredibles

Honorable Mention: V for Vendetta, Memento,
