Long day, early night!

Today was a long day! Dropped Kenzie off at preschool around 8, drove to my Mom's to make use of her ink (I am out, and poor ;) then I went to school... had class from 10:30-4:20, drove home superfast to pick up Kenzie, had some chili, and I have been relaxing because I am not feeling 100%. I learned about Bloom's Taxonomy today, and it is very interesting the way teachers can assess their students, and it amazes me how often they take the easy way out. It is so easy for a student to regurgitate a name or place, but to use what they have learned and make them apply it.... now that is how to make them keep items in their memory banks!!!

I went to the HOA meeting last night for my neighborhood and decided, hey why not become a board member?!?!?! Yeah, just more things on my plate, but I can handle it... it seems like it will be fine, goodness knows what I got myself into! I will let you know how it progresses ;) So far I am in charge of making cookies for the new neighbors this weekend (which you all know I can totally handle)... and they are making me a PO box key... and we shall see what comes of this! It will be a great learning experience, a way for me to get involved in my community, and (as my Mom mentioned) --- it'll look good on a resume!

Heading out early tomorrow for my orientation with the Easter Seals program, I am sooooooooooooo excited to start my "service learning" ... I can't wait--- the orientation will finally make it real!!! Then I have my Junior Achievement orientation in a week and a half--- I will be working at Deltona Middle School with 8th graders--- this will totally be up my alley!!!

Alright, I really need to go to bed, I am wiped out! I made a killer chili for dinner, I will post the recipe for y'all sometime this week!!!!
