Institute

I feel like I am getting a little better at this whole lesson planning thing, but it still takes me a long time everyday! Even though my sisters and mom are teachers, this whole experience has made my respect for teachers much greater. I always saw my family busy working, but I never really knew how much goes into the planning aspect of teaching. I was told that my execution is better than my lesson plans - Essentially, I am better at teaching than at preparing to teach. I will have plenty of practice to get this process down, I suppose.

The most patriotic thing I did all day was light some sparklers out front. It doesn't seem like the 4th of July - no bbq, no family, no fireworks. I has sessions for the first half of the day and the second half was filled with a very long nap (on accident!), catching up with Kelsey, and a trip to half price books. Now I just need to crank out a couple rough draft lesson plans for next week and get to bed.

Last night I got to have a good time, relax, and enjoy and dominate in an incredible game of darts.


Little Woodrow's with some O'hana friends!

I miss you guys! Just because I am busy doesn't mean I don't want to know whats up in your life - give me the update!

Today I went to Bainbridge with Mattie and Ross.
We didn't bbq, but we got really sun burnt and ate the worst/most delicious food.
Now I'm extremely tired and hot because I have an awkward famers tan. Happy 4th! You have a letter coming in the mail, my love.
PS: I tried to fix it so you can post on my blog now. See if it works.
