The past week has been crazy (as usual) but awesome (as usual). Katie and Chris visited and we saw Spamalot, which was hilarious. We also met up with Olympia for a little while. It was so nice catching up and walking around New York with old friends =) Yesterday and today I had off for Rosh Hashanna. I have never been so ecstatic about Jewish holidays before. I also have next Thursday off for Yom Kippur! Several of the kids in my class are Jewish and were so cute in their excitement about the holidays. One even went to Jamaica! Currently I am doing research in my class on increasing approvals between peers. We are only in the first intervention phase right now, so we have a while to go, even though it is technically due on Tuesday. I can't remember if I blogged this already, but I definitely have "quizzes" (aka impossible tests on the whole unit) ever Sunday. Those are really not cool, especially because it is before we learn about the units in class.
Anyway, my blogs are so random. The past two days have been awesome because I have been able to do things I usually can't do because I am working, like going to the bank, the post office, and several school things. I also got caught up on some of my work, so my stress level is a little lower.
The first picture above is inside a reconstructed roman room at the Met (from about a month ago) and the one to the left is from my birthday. I'm hoping to put more pictures up on facebook or the blog soon, including apple picking with my class and pictures of my apartment. Thanks for reading! I hope everyone is doing well. I still care about all of you even though it may seem like I dropped off the face of the earth. I promise!
I don't have much time (I have a paper due tomorrow, a lot to go, and I have to be up in less than 7 hours). However, I HAD to share that today I looked out the window and saw a giant wolf! Very bizarre. Needless to say, recess was inside today =) This is obviously not my picture, but it looked just like this one. And by the way, Dad now calls me "Little red riding hood." Oh, Vince.
