Lecture was very interesting this morning, I learned a lot of new material. For instance; semiology, also known as "semioclasm" is described as science of signs. Below is a way that Roland Barthes demonstrates a two-dimensional combination.
signifier physique
_______ = ______________
signified represenation of
An example of a non-signifying field encountered daily would be the ocean.
It is so interesting to take all this information given to us and to disect it and take it so literally. Of course, it can get confusing sometimes but that is what's so exciting about it. To always be learning something new that is relevant to our everyday lives is amazing.

Becoming a Teacher
It all started during my earlier years at Cross Lanes Christian School. I had an interest in reading to my younger brother, reading to him until he tired of hearing my voice. I'm sure he could still hear my voice hours after I was done. I loved reading to him so much that I had a crazy idea that maybe somebody I would become a teacher. I was so anxious about this dream that I wanted to be an older adult, that minute. It's hard to believe that just the image of books inspired me, as a child, to go to college and become a teacher. It is amazing how a simple image in one's presence can create, or be the start of, a dream.
