In the Classroom

2011-01-28T22:35:00.003-05:00

This semester, I am in "block" for teaching which means I will be in a classroom one day a week. I have been placed at Canton Middle School. I went today to tour the school, and I loved it!!! The building itself is beautiful! I met the teacher I will be working with. Her name is Crystal McCracken. She has been teaching for 18 years and she is a native of Haywood Co. She is a 7th grade Social Studies teacher. I am so excited!! I will be sure to update with exciting news from the 7th grade classroom.

Happy 19th Birthday Matthew

Back to School and Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-07T11:19:00.002-04:00

Hey Everyone!

Sorry it's been a while since I updated. Well school is going pretty good so far. I have three design classes : Drafting, Survey of Materials and History of Furniture and Design. I also have a Marketing class. Marketing class is okay. We have a group project and my group had to come up with a new grooming product, test marketed, in New Orleans. Our product is a shampoo/body wash combo that has anti-perspirant in it. So you have one product...( I have to give credit to momma..it was her idea).

Drafting class is okay right now. Learning how to read the triangular scale. Materials class is interesting. I'm learning a lot about different materials like concrete, stone, and brick. Furniture class is okay.. the teacher is not that exciting.

Went to Atlanta last weekend with mom and Frank and saw Alton Brown!! For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a chef/scientist/ entertainer on Food Network. His show, Good Eats, was celebrating its 10 year anniversary. It was a lot of fun!

This past weekend, I came home for the Apple Festival. I had a caramel apple and it was yummy. Celebrated Daddy's birthday yesterday since he has to work on his birthday. Donna made pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Also had angel food cake with strawberries.

Going back to school today. I will try and keep this updated.

Dean's List....Spring 09

2009-07-19T20:44:00.001-04:00

I made the Dean's List this past semester. Here is a link that shows it.

Father's Day Celebration

2009-06-20T18:11:00.002-04:00

Sorry it has been so long since I updated.

This past Thursday, we celebrated Father's Day. We had hotdogs, baked beans, and coleslaw. Nana came out also. We also had ice cream which was yummy and 1/2 the fat. haha. So you feel okay when you eat a big bowel. It was Pet ice cream and the flavor was Brownie something.

For Father's Day, we made two scrapbooks for daddy and fixed up another one. It was all of Matthew's sports (baseball and basketball) clippings from the paper and also some pictures. Daddy really liked it.

Tomorrow, we are going to go to church with Grandma and Granddaddy and then go out to eat.

Please pray for Donna's Mom (Mrs. Baker). She has gone back to the hospital. The last I heard (around 11 am)- she had woken up and was responsive. Much better report than last night.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers.

Birthday Celebration with Dad

2009-04-22T19:02:00.002-04:00

Today, my daddy took me out for my birthday. We went and ate at Ironstone Grill. It was delicious. Roast beef, green beans, roasted potatoes, corn nuggets. mmm. Then we went to see where the movie theater was...ok funny story. I had just passed this theater on Monday on my way back from Atlanta. I told daddy that it was "just down the road." So we kept driving and beginning to wonder. We ended up near the sign for the Nanahala Forest. Whoops! haha. I forgot to tell him that you have to get on 441 South. So we turned back around and then we found it. Sorry dad. Then we had time to spare so we went to downtown Franklin and drove around. We ate some ice cream at a place called Peppermint Patties. Didn't see Charlie Brown or Linus. haha. I had chocolate covered cherry ice cream and daddy had sugar free butter pecan. Then we went and saw where I used we used to swim for conference with H-CATS. It looks different. Then we wasted some time in Big Lots. Got two good movies for $6. Then we went and saw 17 Again with Zac Efron. It was so good.

Thank you daddy for my birthday celebration. I love you!

Sorry it's been so long

2009-04-19T13:37:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone.

Sorry it's been so long since I updated. School's going well...almost over. Last day is May 1st and then exams the next week. Had a good Easter Break. Worked some and hung out with family. Had a good Easter. I went to church with daddy and Matthew and then we had a cookout afterwards. Nana came out. Amy had to work all day..on her birthday but she got presents at work. :)

This past Friday, I went and spent the night with grandma and granddaddy. Helped them out by cleaning their house. Had a good dinner...like it's ever bad. haha. Good mashed potatoes. I went down to the pond with granddaddy and helped feed the fish and then we watched them for a while.

Monday I am going to Atlanta with my friend Heather. We are going to ADAC which is Atlanta Decorative Arts Center. We are going with our interior design class. And then Friday, I am going to Charleston with momma and Frank for my 21st birthday!! I am so excited! I will make sure to upload pictures once I get back.

Art Project

2009-04-19T13:36:00.002-04:00

Go to my school blog to see my newest art project. http://blog.wcu.edu/akroberts/

Grafitti Art

2009-03-31T20:35:00.003-04:00

For one of my 2-D projects, we created graffiti. We had to come up with a "tag"- which is basically your name. Then you had to fill up the rest of the space with whatever you wanted. Then she told us that we had to work with other people and incorporate each others ideas so it flowed throughout the canvas.

My tag is my name Amanda.
I have a cross for religion. I have WCU because that's where I am receiving my degree and because it's important to me. I have a Christmas tree because I LOVE Christmas and the holidays. I have an issue of People magazine because that is my favorite guilty pleasure. I have a flip-flop that says "RIP" on it because I usually wear flip-flops so much, that I wear them out quickly. I have a heart that says "I Love Lucy" because that is one of my favorite shows. I have a house that looks nice on one side and bad on the other because I want to restore old houses. There is red polka dots because I like polka dots.

I included my grafitti and a picture of the whole thing. Enjoy.

Art Class

2009-03-21T14:29:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone. Just wanted to tell you that I have a new project for my 3-D class. Here is a link to it. http://blog.wcu.edu/akroberts/

Update

2009-03-18T11:01:00.003-04:00

Hello.

Sorry it's been so long on me updating my blog. Spring Break was a couple of weeks ago. I didn't really do much. Enjoyed the 7 and 1/2 inches of snow that I got on Spring Break. haha kind of ironic. Worked a couple of days at the country club.

School is going pretty well. I will be updating my blog soon with some of my art projects that I am working on. Submitted 2 of my drawings to NOMAD (the literary magazine). It will be reviewed and I will find out in April if it will be in the fall issue.

Congratulations on Matthew and the Falcons team!! Not been able to go to any but I am keeping up on the internet.

Will be updating soon.

Grove Park Inn

2009-03-18T10:59:00.002-04:00

Last Monday, I went to the Spa at the Grove Park Inn for my Interior Design class. I had a great time.

Snowfall

2009-03-01T23:27:00.000-05:00

This picture below is what my friend Ashley Richard did. Her caption said "A snowman on his snowlaptop chatting with his snowhomies on snowfacebook." I thought that was so cute. I can't believe it's snowing on my Spring Break. It's almost like I'm on Winter Break. Last time I checked around 9:30ish, we had 7.5 inches of snow.

Adventure to the Asheville Art Museum.

2009-02-24T20:48:00.001-05:00

This past Friday, I went to the Asheville Art Museum for our Project 5. I went and saw Eva Zeisel’s The Shape of Life. I had a great time. Her work was amazing. Eva Zeisel was born in Hungary in 1906. She was the first woman at the Royal Academy to learn the craft of ceramics. She has had a very successful life. She takes advantage of the softness of the clay. She had ceramics, glass objects, and a table that she designed. I had never been in an art museum when I was really able to appreciate it. I really enjoyed going and just spending time in almost another world. It was very relaxing. I have added a couple pieces of her artwork. I used the guidelines that we used in our library session to describe the artwork I saw. I wrote a formal description on either six or seven pieces. I have it all written down in my notebook. I will be making a powerpoint soon.

More Environmental Intervention

2009-02-01T19:01:00.006-05:00

Here is some more of my environmental intervention. It was so pretty outside today..almost like a Spring Day. I decided that I would take some more pics for my project. First is just branches that I stuck inside the cracks of the wall. Second, I took some sort of shells that I found and spelled out "WCU". Third, I just wrote "Hello" in the dirt with a rock. Fourth, I took rocks that I found and made a goal post with a football going through. TD-Touch down! That was in honor of the Super Bowl tonight. Fifth, I took some branches and made art. Last, I took some bigger rocks and placed them on the poles.

Artwork from my Class Tonight

2009-01-29T21:14:00.001-05:00

For my Art 3-D class, we learned about artists who use the environment for their medium. It's called environmental intervention. Andy Goldsworthy is a famous guy who does this. You use the environment and just change it up a little bit. The first two pictures are leaves and brush that I transformed into a wreath. The second picture is a pinecone stuck between the railing. The last pictures are my favorite. Jennifer, this girl in my class, and I took leaves and brush and put them across the road. It LITERALLY stopped traffic. This guy was like whoa! I said don't worry, it's just leaves. WE thought it was funny.

Oh and on my other project where I had to make something out of paper and one out of cardboard..I got an 86. I'm proud of that grade considering she said she does not really give out A's.

I will update soon.

Happy 17th Birthday Matthew!!

Daddy bought the meat from Fresh Market and it was delicious. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to see family.

Hope everyone has a good holiday.

Hello everyone. Sorry it has been so long but I am updating now. On Saturday night, the whole family went out for Nana's birthday at Binion's. It was delicious. After that, we went and saw The Secret Life of Bees. It was such a great movie. Dee and Rebecca had read the book and they raved about it, so I was excited to see the movie. Wonderful! Now I want to read the book after I finish all my other books I'm reading for English.

Also Congratulations again to Shawn and Tiffany on your wedding. Tiffany-you looked beautiful.

Day that will always be remembered

2008-09-11T22:13:00.002-04:00

September 11, 2001.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Mr. Bashkin (my history teacher) showed us a slideshow today in history class. Some of the pictures I have seen but some I had not. It is still eerie to see those pictures and all the loved ones that were lost. I still remember I was in Mrs. Maxwell's 8th grade english class when it happened. We were watching some movie and everyone noticed the teachers pacing up and down the halls. I will always remember that. It will be interesting in 30-40 years to see what history teachers will say about it. Thank you Nathan, and all the other soldiers out there still fighting for our safety. God Bless You.

School has Begun

2008-08-21T15:13:00.002-04:00

School started today for me and Amy. I woke up bright and early at 6:45 to get ready for school. I even made frozen waffles for breakfast. Then it was off to Sociology class at 8 am. I get there and an administrator informed all of us barely awake that our teacher was on VACATION. Hello! Vacation is over, school has begun. I was so upset that I got there for nothing. Well I drove back home and slept until time for American History 1. I rode with Amy since she has Biology at 10:30 also. That class was easy. Well I am at home sitting and watching General Hospital until time to go back to school at 5 for Biology 2. Have a good day!

In other news, Amy finally got a facebook, so maybe we can get her to blog. yeah right. haha.

Randy Pausch

2008-07-29T19:35:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone.
I was at work surfing the internet, I mean working very hard. :) I saw a headline for Randy Pausch. Now I had no idea who this man was but wow, he is incredible. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about two years ago. He has three children. He wrote a book called the Last Lecture. There was a Primetime special with Diane Sawyer back in April with him but I never saw it. I just watched the special in five parts on youtube.com Just go and search his name. I am starting to watch his last lecture which is "Acheiving your Childhood Dreams." It really is amazing. Sadly, he died on July 25, 2008. If you have time in your busy day, you really should watch it.

Weekend

2008-07-27T12:18:00.003-04:00

Hello everyone
Sorry it has taken so long to update. Thursday night at midnight(or I guess Friday morning at midnight), Atley and I went and saw Stepbrothers with Will Ferrell. It was so funny. I would go and see it again. On Saturday, me, Matthew, and my mom went and saw my grandma and grandaddy for his birthday. We went to Captain's Bay in Waynesville. It was good food except it took forever to get our food. That's about all right now that has happened.

The other day Atley and I bought a book of useless information and I thought I would share a couple facts with you.

1) Coca-Cola was originally green.
2) An official baseball has 108 stitches.
3) Tom Hanks is related to Abraham Lincoln.

Christmas In July

2008-07-19T11:30:00.002-04:00

WOOOOO!!!! I got a brand new laptop computer. It is my Christmas present from my mom and my dad. I got it early because we got an awesome deal. It is a Gateway M 6843 from Best Buy. Last night, Atley transferred my stuff over from my old computer to my new computer. It is so pretty and RED! My dad is taking my old computer so I Kentuckyized it. lol. It's all set up for someone who doesn't have a cell phone. Just the basics. Atley got rid of most of the icons so he would not get confused.

I will put some pictures up once I figure out how to use just the SD card without using the cord to transfer.

WNC Ribfest 2008

2008-07-13T18:27:00.002-04:00

On Friday evening, Atley and I went to the Ribfest at the WNC Ag Center. Atley got the sample ribs at Big Boned Ribs. They won last year as best ribs and sauce. I got a pork sandwich at Kiefer's. I think that's what it was called. Well Atley decided to play some of the carnival games. He won me a Dora the Explorer doll and a flower. A reporter from the Asheville Citizens Times was there and he took our picture. They are on the website under Ribfest pictures. Above are the four that we were in.

Happy Fourth of July

I want to wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July. 232 years ago, we gained independence from England. On this day, I would like to thank everyone who has or currently is fighting to keep our independence. We all thank you and appreciate you.

Where there’s never a boast or brag. But should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep you eye on the grand old flag. "

To Grandmother's House We Go

2008-06-25T16:02:00.002-04:00

Yesterday was Grandparents Day for me and Amy. We ate lunch at Bay Breeze with Nana, Daddy, and Matthew. Then Amy and I came up to see Grandma and Grandaddy. We had an excellent dinner, like you would have thought different. And Grandma made CHOCOLATE cake! It is fantastic. Today we played Phase 10. Grandma won. It was a lot of fun. Amy had to leave for work but I am staying another night.

Update on Atley: He checked into orientation on Tuesday night. He went to a lot of vendors and got 5 goody bags with pocket screwdrivers and pens. The last time I talked to him today, he said he was going to a water park! Sounds like fun! Yesterday he ate at Jack Stack's BBQ and said it was awesome food. He bought one of their sauces. He spoke with people from Idaho and Texas. He said the Idaho people talked funny...but they probably said the same thing about him. LOL. Well, I'm going to get off of here.

Atley in Kansas City

2008-06-23T18:25:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone.
Hope your week is going well. Atley left today for Kansas City, MO to compete at the National Level for the Skills USA Competition. He already won state and he is hoping to bring home the National title. He was supposed to leave out of Asheville at 4 pm today but was delayed until 5:30. His original route was to leave Asheville, go to Detroit, then Chicago, and finally Kansas City. Now instead of Detroit, he is going to Cincinnati. He will be back on Saturday afternoon. I will be sure to update his winnings when I find out. I'm going to my Grandma and Grandaddy's for a few days to visit with them. I am excited!! Well I"m going to go because I'm going to my brother's baseball game.

Beach Vacation

2008-06-19T20:14:00.000-04:00

Got back from Myrtle Beach yesterday around 5:30. Amy and I had never been and we all had so much fun. Thank you Momma for taking us. It was a memorable vacation. We had a lot of fun. On vacation, we went to the Family Kingdom Water Park and also the amusement park. At the amusement park, Amy, yes I said Amy, rode the 8th best roller coaster in the U.S. It was so funny. She was screaming like someone was murdering her. :) Momma and I rode the log flume and she got soaked. We bought the picture that they take when you are going down the hill. It is very funny. Amy and I made sand castles with Amy's pail and shovel. Momma confused this little boy by telling him that he was knocking on the wrong room, that he kept knocking on 23(we were in 22). It was so funny. Maybe you just had to be there. Amy and I ate 21% of the 170 item buffet at Captain Benjamin's. It was delicious. I will post more. and I am going to see if I can do a slideshow of the pictures but I will need momma's help. Hope everyone else had a wonderful week. We sure did!

ONE more day!

Good morning everyone. I am sitting here at work listening to some 80's music. Can't Fight this Feeling by REO Speedwagon to be exact. :) Anyways! So tomorrow Amy, Momma, and I head to Myrtle Beach Sea Mist for vacation. So excited. Matthew will be snubbed for a while since he ditched us(just kidding on the snubbing.) So last night was Rebecca's Performing Arts and it was so good. Amy went with me and I really think she enjoyed it. Well I am going to go and "do some work." Yay beach!!

Good Weekend

So on Friday, Jordan graduated from high school. On Saturday we had a party for her and also "to entertain." Aunt Debbie, Uncle Neal and his wife Angie came down and visited. It was really nice. A lot of fun too. The glass table top broke before the party started, it was VERY, and daddy caught the burgers and the box they were in on fire. It was quite an interesting party. So on Tuesday, Rebecca (Atley's sister) has her ballet recital at Hendersonville High School at 7 pm. They are doing Snow White this year. On Wednesday, Performing Arts, which is where they perform all the dances they take to competition. I am going Wednesday if anyone wants to go. Have to work on Tuesday...grr. oh well. so 5 days until we leave for Myrtle Beach. WOO HOO!!!!!

Hello everyone. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I am off today so I am really cleaning up my room. Dusting and even cleaning up my closet. I'm also cleaning up my room because we are having a party on Saturday night. Partly to entertain and also to celebrate Jordan's graduating from high school. In other news, I sent in all my application stuff to Western Carolina so now I'm just waiting to see if I get accepted. Keep your fingers crossed. Also its countdown to the beach. 10 days and off to Myrtle Beach. Very excited!!!

First Blog

2008-05-30T20:26:00.000-04:00

Hello everyone. My mom informed me that two of my cousins had blogs and it was about time that I had one. I granted her wish. I am starting this blog now so I will be in habit when I start Western Carolina in January. I will try and keep everyone posted. So right now, I am sitting here at work wishing that it would be 10 pm so I could go home. I must say that time has just flown by. I really enjoy quotes so I will try to leave one everyday. Some will be serious and some will be funny.
