Big Day

3 posts in 2 days!!! I know, I've been overachieving on the blog side of life. Hope you don't mind!! I had a big day today! I DID go running with Nikki at 5:45 (well, we were out the door by 6). It was cold, and reminded me of those 2 a day cross country practices in the wee hours of daylight. It went alright, despite the fact that my knee is bothering me. As mom would say (in good humor), I'm a wreck of a human being.

In other news, I bought a new computer today! I know, it's drastic. I had been having minor technical difficulties with my Dell, and took advantage of the Educational Stipend that was part of my AmeriCorps service this summer. I am the proud owner of a new MacBook! I'm currently on my "old" laptop, because I'm setting up the other one. So far I really like my new one!! It's schnazzy.

Also, I got a new job today!!!!!! YAY!!!!! I was hired as a Part-Time Spanish teacher with Futura Language Professionals. I will be teaching 2 Spanish classes a week, in (most likely suburban) schools. I'm excited! The company will provide basic cirriculum, but I will be in charge of everything: lesson planning, parent newsletters, an end of term fiesta, classroom management, the works. It will be great.

You might also be interested that I have a position with the Learning Abroad Center, which hasn't started quite yet. I am the MSID Ecuador Student Consultant. Fancy title, you like it? I'll get to lead a section of orientation for students who are going to Ecuador next semester, as well as next fall. I will also be responsible for email correspondence with students who are already planning to go, as well as those who want to know more! I'm looking forward to it.

What a day. Have fun catching up if you haven't seen my 2 posts from yesterday. Love the updates on everyone else's blogs!
