Zip and my other bridesmaids are coming this weekend! Yeah!! I am very excited! The email GVSU sent me about working in a school/camp setting for troubled teens has got me thinking a lot about my dream job... and about where my heart lies... hmmm
Wedding plans are still moving along. We have narrowed down the menu and should be meeting with the baker soon. I think I may surprise Adam with a groom's cake if I can rummige up some extra cash.. he LOVES cheesecake so I think that would be fun!
School is going really well. They are cramming us with great stuff... However, a lot of what they have taught us the last four years we are finding out is NOT research based... how dumb to teach us to do something that you don't even know works or not. GRRR!! For example, brain gym, multi-intellegences and such... nothing has been done to back them up! So, I spent all that time and money when really... my prof. should have gone to grad. school first!! That way I don't have to try to forget what they have engrained into our brain as good practices! Seriously though, we are learning some GREAT!!!!!!! things... I wish that all teachers would learn this stuff because what most teachers do... even what I did and was taught to do in student teaching is not logical! Like... why tell a student who struggles with reading to "sound it out" ... if they knew how to sound it out, they wouldn't be struggling.
IT IS NO WONDER STUDENTS DROP OUT AND ARE SO ANGRY! Duhh!!!
Well,... there's my soap box!
