I have a 40 hour practicum, I have a 70 hour lab, and I'm working 9 hours every week. I am taking 16 credit hours, and I'm philanthropy chair for ADPi. But I'll do a quick break down of my life :)
I switched majors last semester at the end of the semester. I went from Technical Theatre and Writing to Secondary Education and Writing. My practicum is for my Educ. 103 class. My practicum is basically me going to a school where I observe a teacher and I also get to help with students and I get to do a lesson plan. I am doing my practicum at Harding Middle School, my mentor teacher teaches honors 8th grade English and he teaches remedial 8th grade English where he co-teaches with a special education teacher. The co-teacher basically helps with the students that are special ed. They have IEP's which are individual education plans. My first practicum was a great start. I started helping students immediately, I'm excited about my lesson plan, and I'm seeing two totally different classrooms which doesn't usually happen.
-------Funny story: As I was watching the students, one of them flipped me off to impress another student in the class. I caught him doing it and just shook my head. They use seven steps to discipline kids the first was a non-verbal, that's what I did.
My 70 hour lab is for my stagecraft class, where I'm learning to use power tools and build. It is pretty cool. Except that it takes a TON of time out of my already busy week. And I am in a group for our class projects where there are four men and myself. 3 out of 4 men are super possessive! And the other is like, "I'll just let them tell me what to do." Super frustrating! Like I measured out an inch on the board, and the one guy says, "I'm sorry I'm a little anal retentive, just let me check this." (I know how to measure an inch. My group is obnoxious.)
I might be losing my second job because I don't have enough time for it. But I'm working 9 hours and that's pretty cool. I recently got nominated for a scholarship to go to the New York State Institute Writer's Workshop. I am applying to go this summer, I hopefully I make it! Great opportunity! But if I do make it I'll probably be heading back to Taco Bell this summer. *insert grimace here*
Now. Time for the big stuff!!!! I'm in Alpha Delta Pi the sorority. My chapter is Theta Eta. I am Philanthropy Chair. Because I am philanthropy chair I got to go to our District Leadership Conference in Merylville, Indiana! How cool? But also! Most importantly! I found out I got a diamond sister!
--------A diamond sister is a older or younger sister who either helps you with stuff in the sorority or you help with getting initiated. Then you keep in contact and help them with stuff be there for them, it is like an extra best friend. My diamond sister is my friend from my hall. I would post who it is on here, but I can't till we have diamond sister reveal.
Life is great, hectic but great. I'm doing good. I made the Dean's list last semester and I plan to make it again!
