Current thoughts

1) I love how readings from my SE.A class has me constantly putting my hands on my globe so that I can better understand the countries.

2) I hope I never become a tourist. It has a negative connotation in my head at the moment.

3) Don’t expect respect if you are not respectful yourself.

4) How am I going to pay for TESOL certification?

5) Its hard to make observations of the moon and the stars for my Earth Science class when crickets are flying everywhere outside my apt complex. Its gross, disgusting and limits me to stay indoors after dusk.

6) I am currently seeking another job, preferably tutoring.

To do list for the semester

This blog is more of a reminder for myself. I feel that if I type it out for others to see I will be more inclined to get my shiz done. Heres to productivity!

  • find a thesis advisor (cos I finally have a project!!!)
  • work on IRB form for thesis project bc it requires working with HS students
  • Take the TESOL/TEFL test to teach overseas after graduation
  • find possible programs to teach overseas with
  • turn in info to student teach next semester
  • train and run in half marathon (end of October)

Lord, Save Me From The Krebs Cycle → npr.org

The article link above states that often students will learn material to learn for their test out of fear instead of understanding. For instance, the dreaded Krebs Cycle.

I’m sure all remember those days of frantically trying to understand this…

THESIS IDEA → 2mminutes.com

*click on the link above to see info about a documentary comparing students from China, America, and India. Its called 2 Million Minutes*

What if…… I did something along the lines of 2 million minutes and bring awareness to American high school students of how many options and opportunities they have currently as well as internationally aware them of possibilities to do after graduation.  Would this possibly increase students academic dedication and self learning within public schools? Could I maybe get in contact with students from other countries and ask them their stories to compare?

Oooooooooooooooooo. My heart is pounding.

Your thoughts????
