Writing Mood

Okay, so I am not really in a writing mood, but I have been writing a lot since I've gotten back from class today. I wrote a lesson plan for my year 6 English class for Friday. It is harder than you would think trying to fit the content of this English class into a typical KTIP lesson plan format...but have no fear I did it! Now we'll just have to see what Evelin says about it tomorrow when we discuss it, we'll see how that goes. I also had to post that lesson plan on Blackboard for my class tonight and respond to someone's classroom management plan from the last class. So I have had a pretty productive day so far! I have another paper due for Dr. Wood this weekend, just information about the school I am in and the students and she wants me to include some pictures. So, it shouldn't be a difficult paper to write, just time consuming.

So not much has really happened this week so far...just gone to school and hung out really. I finished Dexter...great show but now I'm going to have to wait and watch it like normal people and that for sure sucks. I am also almost finished with my Nicholas Sparks book, and at this rate I am definitely going to have to buy a lot more books seeing as how I have almost finished two books and haven't even been here 3 weeks yet. I like reading though, and it is nice to have the time to do more of it.

Apparently, there was a lice outbreak in the school like right before I got here, and one of the girls in my year 5 class gave a presentation on lice and actually had lice in a baggy that she passed around. I was sitting next to her all class, and now I am super paranoid every time I scratch my head. Ew.

Really exciting thing happened yesterday: I booked my trip to GREECE!! Yay! We are leaving next Friday afternoon and flying to Athens, and staying in Athens for the night. Then we are site-seeing in Athens and taking a train Saturday night to Thessolaniki where we are staying with Kyle's friend in our program. Then we will head back to Athens on Monday night and fly out on Tuesday. So exciting! I hope it is hot there...I didn't bring a bathing suit but thats okay, I'm not really expecting it to be that hot.

Today I was teaching about the American school system to my year 8 class. I actually felt comfortable teaching that because I clearly am really familiar with how it works. The students seemed really interested in it too because it really is completely different than their system. I am continuing the same lesson for our next class on Tuesday, so that is fun.

I think I am skyping with some people from class before class starts tonight so that should be good. Other than that, I have to finish making a worksheet for class on Friday to show Evelin tomorrow. So once that is finished, I will probably read and watch some One Tree Hill (thats the show I have moved on to since I am done with Dexter and 2 seasons behind on OTH).
