Last night was Opening Doors to Teaching. We had an amazing turnout, good food, and lots of fun! Really! I enjoyed talking to all the people there, some all the way from Raleigh! I was impressed. :)

I've got a busy few weeks ahead. It's nearing the end of the semester. I had TWO papers due today! Ahead: final thesis, unit plan for middle school methods, and revision of a psych paper on UFC fighter Randy Couture. My friend was shocked I get to psychoanalyze anyone with a biography and I chose a mixed martial arts fighter. The paper I'm reading is about Eric Clapton!

Oh yeah, I'm presenting at the Living With/In Diversity Conference here at UNCA on November 21st. I haven't started making my poster, which will happen this weekend, but I have started designing it.

Okay, aside from the schoolwork, tutoring is amazing. We have a student taking Spanish 3 Honors and really needs help. I sent an e-mail to my fellow tutors today and already I have everyday I need filled up!

Today, the students in one of my groups and I all wore some, well quite a bit, of purple... and I have boys too, one who had the most awesome black, white, and purple high-tops! I think that coincidence shows how much we've bonded. Haha. :)

Alex and I are still trying to start up the Education Club as she mentioned. We're getting TONS of help from the staff in the department. It gives us lots of hope and motivation and I'm still pretty excited about it. I'm also happy that I'm only taking 12 hours next semester! I decided that, as a senior, I need to take the classes I need and two classes I really want to take: Tudor-Stuart England (history) and yoga! This will allow me to have time for tutoring, observing/some teaching for my last year before student teaching, the Education Club, and finally, fun?! Hopefully!
