JI = Junior Internship

Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been incredibly busy with, well, just life!

This week I started my JI, Junior Internship, I will be teaching two lessons and completing 32 hours in Mr. Neugebaur's 8th grade math classroom. So far it has been really educational and fun. I won't lie, I am a bit nervous about teaching my first lesson, but I'm sure it will go well. I will be teaching two-step equations!

Monday I take my final for my micro-class. I have enjoyed this class very much as well. Every week teaching a new mini-lesson. That past taping I have covered Pythagorean Theorem. However, for this final presentation I am going to be teaching the Golden Ratio. I can't wait. Isn't that strange that I can't wait to teach something! Nope... I'm a teacher.

On a more personal note Jeremiah and I have moved out. We are living with a friend of ours. It has been two weeks now and it has been very enjoyable. Just need my oven to be fixed! =]

Other classes are going well. It seems like I'm constantly writing, researching, thinking, planning.... then again, that is my career. Last night I did finish two more sections for my math history paper. It is now up to 19 pages long and I still have three more sections to go! I am very proud of myself for accomplishing something so huge!

Well I better go. Homework is calling my name, as usual!

Hope everyone has a great day, week, and the rest of October!
