Yeah, it isn’t looking to progressive….

I recorded my oral presentation for my Spanish exam.  I saved it in MP3 and burned it on CD so I can play it in my car when I am in there.  The kids will know how to say these three paragraphs by the time we leave for Laughlin on Friday! 

I finished my domains and my PowerPoint for tonight’s meeting with my professor.  It all boils down to what have I learned and gained from class this semester.  Pretty basic, pretty easy.

I started going through my sources for my Brit Lit paper.  I will be doing that and writing my paper tonight.  I think I am going to work through the night, take naps, and get this paper done.  I can go to bed early tomorrow night and make sure my paper is turned in.

I have decided to take my math final tonight.  All I need is a C on it to pass the class.  Math isn’t the best subject for me, I am an English major.  I know why we are forced to take it, but still.  COME ON!

So, with all that said, I need to get a move on.  I have one more post to make, get dinner started, and get going.  I will pop back on tonight and let you all know how my presentation went!  TTYL!

If you haven’t heard of Infinity Shoes, then you are missing out!

Infinity Shoes is a women’s paradise of shoes.  You can find almost any new and hip style that is available at Infinity Shoes.  Based in NY, these people know their stuff when it comes to shoes, and were even smart to get a website up to allow others from around the world to be able to fulfill their shoe fetish by giving the option to order online!

You can find shoes made by Ed Hardy, Merrell, Privo, and Timberland.  Tsubo shoes, Saychelles shoes, and even Minnetonka boots!  Don’t know what particular brand your desired shoe is?  Not a problem!  Do a search by the style’s name.  Or if you are into a certain style and just want to see what is offered, do a search!

Shoes are always a great gift to give!  You can get them shipped directly to the person you’d love to gift them to.  Or you can order some new kicks for yourself and take advantage of their current off of all order over $59.98 will get free shipping!

If I were to gift shoes to my friend Beth, the Miz Mooz “Valerie” style would be her favorite, in black!  She is always looking for shoes that can be worn in casual and in semi-formal for work.  These shoes match Beth perfectly because they can be used for any occasion!  She is pretty practical like that.

So, check out Infinity Shoes and get your shoe shopping going!

Literally, it feels like chaos to me.

I am still working on my final papers and projects, and this is what I have to finish yet:

• Pedagogy: domains and portfolio presentation
• Math: final exam
• Brit Lit: final paper (10 pages+)
• Spanish: written and oral exams

I am freaking out over here.  It is Wednesday!  I haven’t started my paper because I have been dealing with pain.  Today is the first day that I feel capable of taking on the world.  I have to go through all my sources, get down to the library to pick up my last two books I request.  Then I need to actually write the paper.  I have to have it done by tomorrow night because I will be at work Friday morning when it is due.  It is due by 8am.

I am waiting to take my oral and written exams on Friday, after work, for Spanish.  I just can’t find time to squeeze it in any earlier, and this paper is bugging me out!  I also have to take my math final by tomorrow night.  May be I will take it tonight, so I can dedicate all of tomorrow to my paper.

I have my portfolio presentation due tonight.  I also have to turn in my domains.  If you have no clue what I am speaking of when I say “domains,” then I will give a brief overview.  Domains, in the teaching world, is based of this book by Charlotte Danielson.  It is broken up in four different domains a teacher should learn how to incorporate into their teaching career.  It is essentially the framework behind a successful teacher. 

We, being the pre-service teachers of NSC, were told we HAD to know these because our school district utilizes them religiously.  Out of all the schools I have subbed and observed in, only one teacher at one school knew what I was talking about.  The rest all shook their head in disbelief because they knew nothing about this at all.

So, is it really the truth that the school district uses it?  I am not sure.  I am thinking in some way they do for evaluations, but no one clued the teachers in on how they are to be evaluated.  I am think this because I have heard the teachers get evaluated with points of 1-4 on each concept, and no one ever achieves all 4’s, or even one 4 on their evaluations.  In essence, the domains can be set up in a 1-4 point system for each component.  But as far as that goes, my theory stops there.

Alright, since I have so much to do, I am going to dig out the coffee pot.  If anyone knows me, this bad buy usually comes out during stressful writing periods (papers, newspaper articles, etc.), or midterms and final exams.  And with it being final week, I have to say I have been very good about not starting off the week with coffee, but this Pepsi I am drinking right now is not doing a whole lot for me.  Time to move onto the stronger stuff!

So, TTYL.  I will probably be back to procrastinate ….  But if you catch me, smack me!
