news re/ school


Well, my blogging is coming back to life thanks to Spanish 1020. Estudio espanol en clase dos veces por semana en clase, y tengo dos dias virtuales, cuando estudio al computadora portatil. All in all it's teaching me Spanish at a surprising rate. I have to drill, review, and memorize to get where I have to go. I do it, but need to do it more. This weekend, I sat with my book, and the version of it that is on the computer (which has videos, interactivity, links to extensive additional resources) and went back almost to the beginning of the year, reviewing.


I remember that in my math class last summer, how there were always review questions at the start of the homework. A very useful thing. I should have started the practice of regular review sooner.


My ceramics explorations have been so much fun. I'm taking a class with Brian Snapp, an inspired teacher and artist. We play, experiment and try new things looking at the surfaces of ceramic work. I just wish the days were four more hours longer, or that I could give up sleep.

Me llamo Rick. Mi nombre completo es Barry Eric Moldover. Mis padres me llamarían Ricky, como Ricky Ricardo, el esposo de Lucy. Su programa estuvo muy popular. Mi nombre medio, Eric, se cortaba a Rick. Cuando empecé en escuela, no me les conteste cuando usaban el nombre Barry. Se pensaban que esta niño Barry no era demasiado inteligente, porque no supo su nombre. ¡Era yo!


Hoy, yo conozco mis nombres bien. Uso Eric cuando hago cerámica, lo que hacía por 45 anos. Estudio cerámica, las ciencias políticas, español, naturalmente, y la literatura y filosophía del mundo medieval.


A mí me gustan mucho la Universidad, y mis estudias. A veces, piensaba que los estudiantes no eran muy simpaticos, pero supe que los estudiantes son muy ocupados, con trabajo, sus estudias, y desfrutando la vida, ¿no?

This sight is going spanish!

Ya es verdad. Since diving into the University of Utah last August, my work life has orbited around the acquisition of education. As those who know me will be thinking, "how is anyone going to get anything into that thick skull?". Well, they have professionals there.

They seem to be holding up ok so far.

Spanish 1020 is claiming some of this space for my writing en espanol. Sorry about that, you non speakers. I will try to trans on req. NO promises.
