My poor computer got a virus so it is currently at the NC State Help Desk being worked on by a bunch of Asians! I have full confidence in them getting the virus off my computer. Until then, they have loaned me a laptop which is great, but I have none of the pictures that I was going to include in my because they are on my poor computer...so you will just have to imagine visuals as you read.
I went home for labor day weekend. It was not laborious, which was nice, and I did get to see lots of friends and do lots of things. I had a four day weekend her in school and it was laborious, which was not so nice. I had lots of homework. I spent Wednesday observing at Panther Creek High School and instead of staying the in class I will be teaching I went and observed the other four Spanish teachers in the school (there are a total of five). One of the teachers I observed was the FLANC (Foreign Language Association of North Carolina) Teacher of the Year last year. She was AESOME! I observed her teaching her AP Spanish class and her Level I Spanish Class and she was great at both.
Tonight (Thursday night) I had parent-teacher/open-house at Panther Creek. I met most of the parents of the students I will be teaching, which was nice. It was weird being a "teacher" at one of those open-houses.
I go home to Asheville again tomorrow (Friday) because I have my big 1/2 marathon on Saturday morning. I'm really excited, because I love races and the atmosphere at races, but I'm really sad it's here. It seems like the last four months of my life I've been training for someting (either a triathlon or a running race) and this is my last planned race of the year. After this Saturday I have not "scheduled" to work toward. Also, this week has been really weird because I am "resting" for the race so I have only ran a total of 6 miles this whole week (2 miles every other day)...I feel really guilty and lazy, but according to my training schedule that is what I'm suppose to do. So, I'm really excited for the race so I can run a really long way, run hard, and feel that burn in my legs and lungs!
I also have a really really cool addition to my room (I will post a picture soon) of a beautiful desk! My dad made me a perfect, dark-wood desk with a drawer to go in my room. I didn't want to buy a desk and all the desk we had at home were either too big or the wrong color...so he just made the the perfect one. (I'm sitting at it now!). I looks great in my room and fits perfectly. Thanks, Dad!
