Just checking in with all five people that look at my blog:) School is going really well this year. My students magically transformed over the summer from hellions to angelitos. I have no idea what happened...But it has been great to work with them this year, and I have really grown to love them all. I am currently teaching levels 2-4; again really tough to have 3 preps, but we're managing. Our new principal seems to be working out fine, and year 2 is amazingly better than year 1. We recently performed a flash mob for our students (I'm barely in the video, but my dancing was truly amazing, really.) Here it is:
On another note: I'm contemplating the next steps for me professionally, and I am looking into Spanish Pedagogy MA's right now. At this point, I'm really interested in the BYU MA, which means I could be moving back to the grand ol' Provo eventually. I'm not sure how I feel about living there again, but I'm really excited about the prospects of going back to the Y. I'd get to go to the International Cinema, the MOA, see the new LDS temple being built in the Provo Tabernacle, and explore south Provo, where I hear all of the grad students live. Plus, I'd have a car this time, so I would definitely see more of the city than I did the first round.
I'm also looking into a similar, but summer-only, program at Middlebury in Vermont, as well as U of Northern Colorado (also a summer only). I'd love to hear any advice you may have about 1) applying to grad school or 2) moving back to Provo:)
