This update is largely about my academics, but I figured I had some cool stuff happen that I thought I'd share.
1. I continue to succeed with my political science class. So far, all A's. The class is not very challenging and I like that it's completely online.
2. I just finished my Nature of Science paper. I've done pretty good at getting it done and I move onto the next project- the unit plan. Our professor is so incompetent we're only just now getting to it.
3. I met with the cooperating teacher for my student teaching next semester once again. Apparently my concerns were because she was a little scared of the prospect but after talking with her again she is very enthusiastic and she's hoping it is a positive experience. Me too
4. I'm definitely going to stay proactive on the student teaching front. I want to get my lesson plans done ahead of time so I'll be working on them over the summer. should be pretty interesting.
5. Finally got my state tax return, it took nearly 2 months! I can't wait to escape this state. On that note, I also set my federal tax withholding correctly so I should get more money in the paycheck instead of giving our Dear Leader an interest-free loan.
6. I showed Melissa her finances, clear as day and I think she realized that something has to change. I hope it sticks!
7. I'm back on the weight-loss train again! back down to 296lbs.
