Education 1001- Library Tour

Today in class we met in a classroom in the library in the Holland center. It took me an eternity to find but I'm very glad I did! Having that tour of the library was really really great for me. I have been meaning to get myself acquainted with the library and find out where the tutoring center and things are, but I could never find the time with my schooling and working two jobs. So I was very very glad to have had the opportunity to have that in depth tour of the library.
I think one of my favorite things about the library was all of the study rooms. Its a perfect place to get things done in a place that is free from many of the distractions that I have when I study and do homework in my room at home. And with all of the glass walls, you really feel motivated to not be slacking off!
Another thing that I loved about the Holland Center is how beautifully clean it is! Not in a sanitary, not dirty sense, but in how clean and simple and fluid the design of the building is. I am into photography and the sharp clean lines of the building really made me want to get in there and take pictures! And, the view from the fourth floor is so beautiful, what a great location for a campus we are so lucky to have!

Education 1001- Scavenger Hunt

For my education 1001 class at Dixie State College we were asked to keep a blog as a journal of our class and of our first year of college in general. So that's what this blog post is!
The other day in class we were sent on a scavenger hunt around campus to get us acquainted with the building and their purposes (and the location of their restrooms). As a class we divided everything up so as to be the most efficient. Sydney Ward, who it turns out I went to high school with for a year, took the two most north buildings, the NIB (north instructional building) and the North Plaza. My math class is in the NIB so I was already pretty well acquainted with that building, but that was my first real time in the North Plaza building (my little brother had some camps there a few summers ago that I would drop him off and pick him up at). It was neat to look around at all of the art classes going on, it really made me wish I was taking an art class! 
Overall it was a great and exciting assignment, and I'm excited for this class!
