Politics are heating up!

It seems that at all the schools I am at during the week- four in total!- that the main thing on everyones mind is politics! In the high schools the mood is a little less intense, mainly because the students can't vote yet, but they definitely have opinions already which is nice to see, I can't remember being so involved when I was their age! At the college level there is so much discussion about the issues and how exciting it is to have an election such as this one- definitely history in the making! That is one of the things that I love about being on a college campus- all the different opinions and the openness that people feel because of the accepting environment. UNC-Asheville definitely seems to leaning way to one direction, but there is plenty of banter from both sides!

On a more academic side, classes are going well and I am planning on teaching a unit in the class that I will be student teaching in next semester and that is taking a lot of time to plan, but luckily my co-op teacher is wonderful!

The weather is definitely colder now- that always signals to me that the semester is going to be over soon and there is still so much to do!
