Readers,

This week's "Wandering Wednesday" post is focused on the "Worst Professor Ever: Alternative Adult Education" blog. This is a neat blog by a female professor, Amanda Krauss who decided to leave the academy to "get a life in Austin". I think her blog is very interesting and I will definitely add her RSS feed to my Google Reader! :)

Check out her blog, "The Worst Professor Ever: Alternative Adult Education".

Sincerely,

Freebie Friday! - The Container Store - Organized Teacher Discount Program

Readers,


How do you plan to organize your desk for the new school year? Have you cleaned your office for the new semester yet? That's my plan for the first week in August! 


If you live by a Container Store, you can take advantage of this wonderful program, "The Container Store Organized Teacher Discount Program". I will admit, 15% is a sizable discount for the Container Store! I plan to take my hubby (a high school science teacher) to the Container Store to decorate his new classroom this year! He loves organizational tools and ideas (with his wife's help of course). ;)


Take a look at this neat savings opportunity: http://www.containerstore.com/teachers/index.htm

Take a Virtual Vacation - My 5 Favorite iPad/iPod Games

Readers,

This summer has been filled with student interactions and organizing my home for the fall semester. Between those two very important (and time consuming) items, I have developed a virtual affair with my iPad games. I play 10 minutes of an iPad game when I need to refocus on an activity, when I am in the doctor's waiting room, or when I simply need to take a virtual mini vacation. Here are the games that I have been enjoying this summer!


1 - Scrabble HD



2 - Angry Birds - Rio





3 - Wedding Dash



4 - The Price is Right (My mom LOVES this one)



5 - Boggle



Wonderful iPad/iPod games! Do you have any games to contribute to the list? 


Sincerely,


J. Edwards

Wandering Wednesdays - "Academia and Fashion"

Readers,

I hope each of you are having a great week! I am excited about this wonderful find for "Wandering Wednesdays"! Apparently, there is a hidden world of women in academic who love fashion as much as I do!

By simply clicking the link above, you can gain access to a list of academic blogs focused on fashion and academia! Very neat! :)

Although I do not frequently blog about fashion (I have a shoe post about once every year), I LOVE fashion! Especially suits and SHOES! Here's a recent pair that I purchased from Nine West to begin the semester. Shoes make me smile. :)

Enjoy!
