oops. so much for updating this thing regularly!
some life updates…in no particular order:
-Teach for America: I’m thinking yes. Seriously. Chicago? Phoenix? Those are my two top choices at the moment. Total opposites, I know. It wouldn’t be until after my Master’s year though–so I have a little while to decide.
-Ghana: Also thinking yes. This summer. To teach literacy. To children and teachers. Amazing? I just have to find the money. That is the issue. I applied for a scholarship today. Hopefully it works.
-Classes: We did our experiment last week! We are testing the effect of flashcards/writing on learning a new language. Basically we had four groups–one studied a list of words, one wrote a list, one studied premade flashcards, and one wrote their own flashcards. I’m basically fluent in Zulu. As in, I know the animals. We haven’t run our data yet, but I’ll keep you updated! Maybe.
-Training for a Half Marathon: HA! The goal is May. 13.1 miles! Funny, I know. We’ll see.
-Election: No matter who I voted for, I am proud of our country and the democracy that it is. I think this video is amazing.
-Life: is pretty much amazing 
I ran across your blog through studentbloggers.org, so don’t be creeped out I’m commenting. I’m from AZ and have several friends who teach in Phoenix. They really love it! I’m partial cause I love Arizona, but I’d say you should teach in Phoenix. My mom and step-dad were both Elementary teachers in Prescott, and they enjoyed that. I don’t know where you are now, but in Phoenix it’s been around 65 degrees this week! Can’t pass that up! It’s hot during the summer, but everywhere has A/C so it’s not so bad. I hope everything works out well for you!!
