Update

Since Jen posted her avatar on her blog, and because posting an actual picture (in our blog account, not in a post) is just shy of impossible, I thought I would see how close I could get to myself in avatar format. The selection is pretty limited, so there are discrepancies. First of all I am taller and fatter, my dog is a beagle/basset with some white spots and my hair is not really that color. i thought Jen's was pretty good. If you do not know who or what i am talking about just click on the Auf Asche link to the right.

I just turned 31 on Monday and I wanted to thank everyone who texted, called, emailed, etc. Turning 30 was rough, but now that I am 31 it sort of feels like turning 22, no real "age" milestones for another 9 years.

School is going really well right now, I have busting my ass to stay motivated and waaay ahead of the scheduled due dates. I hope this will add to the quality of my work and give me more free time outside of school. The amount of reading and research is sort of insane, but I guess that is what Graduate school is for. I have an 8am-4pm shift in the lab I work at which is sort of a forced study hall. 8 hours of rather uninterrupted work is the best thing that could have possibly happened to me.

Well, back to the effects of meta-cognition on learner control as mediated by goal-setting theory.
