Wow. I'm still really exhausted, but so glad to be done with Week 1 of teaching and Week 2 of Institute. Three more weeks!!
Yesterday, I had a headache at school and wanted to stay in, but my school was having a mixer at a bar in Rice Village. I wasn't going to go, but then my friend Diyn and I found out there was a Half-Price Books there. We immediately changed our minds and decided to go. It was my first time in a Half-Price Books, and it was amazing!! I couldn't control myself and came home with several pounds of books that will never fit in my luggage. It was the perfect end to a really tough week.
It's really weird that our groups are made up from people whose placements are all over the country, because I've met so many awesome people and we're going to be so far apart in a few weeks. But it's also cool because we'll all be doing the same thing, and we'll have people to stay with when we visit :-).
Today I'm going to hang out with my friend Caitlin and her friends tonight, but for now I'm going to work on my [neverending] TFA assignments. Our faculty advisor is awesome and is letting me use his LCD projector every day, so I can do PowerPoint for all of my lessons. Let's face it, we all know that I am not the crafty type who can bust out posters for visual information! I am very technologically-dependent!
Other things I need to accomplish next week: meet individually with students to discuss scores on diagnostic, adapt my behavior system, figure out how to fix the Bingo game I made for my students to play, and get individual organizers for all of my students.
