"This more advanced babbling is known as variegated babbling. Stark (1986) found that some variegated babbling productions re consonant - vowel - consonant (CVC) combinations, in which the vowel is replicated. That is, the child might say "Gug" (CVC) or "Ugu" (VCV)."

I was about to do my reading out of Born to Talk: An Intro. to Speech and Language Development. So yesterday I seriously considered dropping out of school. I am so tired and I haven't even had all of my classes yet. I hate how this dep't. is set up. I have to take 18 hours this semester, and there are so many classes that only have one section that it makes it impossible to have a decent schedule. I have 5 classes on Tuesdays!!!!!! That is just ridiculous, but I had no choice!! I have my class that I go into a classroom and observe and throughout the semester help teach some classes and make lesson plans. That class is a regular classroom with one or two hearing impaired students. That is required to have 6-9 hours a week in a classroom. Then I found out that another one of my classes has me go into a completely hearing impaired classroom  for 3-6 hours a week. I can't be at only one classroom for both classes. I have a meeting with my advisor today at one and I will hopefully get this set up. I am okay right now mainly because I already have this meeting scheduled. I scheduled it before I even went to both of those classes, which was just timing. I needed to go so that I can get accepted into the School of Edu. and into the Teaching Academy. I also needed to get approval for a class I took last year to count as a class for my major. Right now I am looking at no life, but like I said hopefully we can get something figured out! I really don't want my dad to make me transfer because that would be a lot of work, but he is seriously considering it! I just hope that this semester doesn't turn out to be Hell!! Well that is my problems! I hope everyone else is doing better than me right now!
