2 weeks done...

Watching a video about academic vocabulary while packing lunch. 
Six to go. Taking two master's classes in addition to teaching fills my schedule.

Yesterday I

  • skimmed an article on world views
  • wrote two discussion board posts
  • had a Skype conference with my professor for half an hour
  • washed a load of towels
  • cleaned the bathroom
  • washed the dishes
  • swept the kitchen floor
  • made hummus
  • stopped at my parents' house to print two papers
  • typed up lesson plans for the next day
  • taught four hours of classes
  • held individual conferences with ten students to discuss their midterm grades
  • interviewed a student about her educational background and literacy experiences
  • read and sent emails
  • stopped at Walmart on the way home for tissues, contact solution, rat poison, and other boring items
  • soaked my feet and went to bed

Studying

I am spending many hours hunkered down in front of my computer since I am in the second week of eight weeks of two masters classes. Because of class schedules, I am taking six credits between now and December.

Cookie house

Last year, I provided Julie with a virtual tour before she came home. This year I am just featuring the two rooms with the biggest changes.
