I found out today that I got accepted into Teach for America!!! =D  They've assigned me to teach elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The location was not one of my top choices, but I'm really glad I got assigned to elementary students ( Read more... )

A week from now, I will know whether or not I've been selected as a Teach for America corps member. I'm kind of freaking out...

It's weird how anxious I am about this.  It's not just that I think it would be a great program to be a part of. In fact, I'm actually a bit nervous about the program, because I'm not sure I'd be a good teacher.  Rather, I ( Read more... )

This past weekend was Homecoming Weekend at my school, which means it was also the weekend for Pigskin Revue (basically an annual musical revue).  My mom came to see me perform this year, which was exciting.  I loved having her around, even if it means I didn't participate in most of the Homecoming activities.  So yeah, overall the weekend was nice ( Read more... )

My allergies have been so bad the last couple of days that every time I step out side, my nose starts to tickle and my face feels like it's puffing up.  Inside isn't a whole lot better, as I still sneeze and constantly have to blow my nose. I can't wait until this season is over!

I'm the most indecisive person in the world, and am having the hardest time deciding on a camp name for the summer! My best friend says it should have something to do with dancing, as that's one of the things I absolutely love doing, but I couldn't come up with anything good. I also thought briefly of rocking the school spirit and being something ( Read more... )

Well, I'm all registered for next semester's classes now!  Things can still change, but for now, I'm pretty content with what I've got. I'm taking the following 7 classes*:

• Computers in Society
• Introduction to Computer Systems
• BIC Capstone: The Once and Future King: David, Jesus, and King Arthur
• World Cultures V: Islamic Culture in the Middle East**
• The ( Read more... )

So, I'm almost done with all my major and minor requirements. This means that I have a lot of leeway in deciding which classes to take next semester. I'm for sure taking "Intro to Computer Systems", and will probably take "Intro to Language and Linguistics" and "Ballet I" for fun. I also need to take a World Cultures class and an American History ( Read more... )

I'm so not ready for it to be this late in the semester. I have WAY too much to do before summer!

And I just realized that my best friend's birthday is in two weeks, and I have no clue what I'm doing for her yet. And I can't find something last minute, because of this whole living half way across the country from each other thing. Her birthday gift ( Read more... )

Well, I finally changed majors.  I was an Applied Math major.  I actually applied to my school as an Engineering major, but changed it to Applied Mathematics before I registered for my first semester's classes.  However, I wasn't ever too confident about my major. I chose math because I'm good at math, and the applied part was because I'd want to ( Read more... )
