Shopping With Auntie

by L-C on August 14, 2005

Lisabeth is growing up so fast - she already is quite a fashion maven and she is only 8.
It is my mission in life to give her a balanced view of the value of fashion and life. It is fun, but outside of self expression it is a non-essential. As opposed to dignity, integrity, and self esteem.

Psych & Cognition & Human Development

by L-C on August 13, 2005

Empire State College - Center for Distance Learning
has great courses in multicultural and interdisciplinary focus.

I am looking into studying basics in psychology, cognition, and human development that the U of D professors will not let me take as I am not a “major”. Hah.
This college has an undergrad degree focused on either Early Childhood OR Adolescents, which is HTF.
