It’s been awhile since I’ve written, I actually forgot I was still linked to the admissions page! Tours started this past week, and I trained two sets of tour guides Friday. The student involvement fair, which occurs every year in September is where we get most of our new tour guides. It was fun to train them and meet them. I also worked at the national and international study away fair, which is great. Lindsey is actually going abroad next semester to England and it was all my doing! Speaking of Lindsey, we are a bad influence on each other and shouldn’t do things together. We went shopping on Saturday to Colony Mill marketplace because I wanted the new Vera Bradley clutch wallet thing. Lindsey already has something similar, but once she saw how nice the new one was, she had to get it, even if it wasn’t cheap. Being the friend that I am, I encouraged her to get it, rather than telling her to save her money to study away. Then, we went to get her a fish, but she decided to get two fish, and she bought the same tank that I have for my fish. Pretty neat.
I also taught my first lesson in my methods class. I actually didn’t think it went that well, but my cooperating teacher and my methods teacher both thought I did phenominal. My lesson plan was even amazing, which is surprising considering how much I dislike doing them. It was a pretty great start to the methods year. This coming Thursday I am teaching the class my choice lesson, which happens to be on the water cycle, which will be a prerequisite to my lesson about clouds. I know these won’t be as good because science has never been my strong subject.
This weekend was pretty cool. Dinner on Thursday was amazing, the DC had caesar salad in a taco shell bowl, which other than a bread bowl, is my favorite type of edible bowl. They also had amazing cupcake frosting. So, I was pretty excited. I went to staff meeting, at which I ate lots of sugary snacks. Now, I’ve been avoiding junk food for some time now, so I’ve been eating less sugary snacks. So, when I had sugar, I went crazy. I hung out with Lindsey, and we were taking random pics with her camera and just being really hyper. Her boyfriend then decided it was a good idea to bring over a cheesecake, to which I gladly had a slice, which once again made me hyper. A few hours later I started to crash, which was good because it was getting late and I had to work early the next day.
This weekend nothing exciting happened. Friday I went out to Margs and didn’t pay a cent, I sat in the lounge with my friends and ate chips and drank water. Quite amazing. My cousin came up on Saturday and we bonded. She stayed the night. Whenever I have a sleepover, we never really sleep. We stayed up for awhile, and needless to say I am running on empty. If I wasn’t on duty tonight, I would totally be in bed right now. It also doesn’t help that Carla has made it her mission to get me hooked on One Tree Hill, so I’ve been watching the episodes all day, and I think I am hooked.
I am also very excited because I am getting a new cell phone very soon! It should be arriving any day now!
