Busy, busy, busy

A lot has happened over the last two days, so I'll start from the beginning.

I went to my internship on Wednesday. I had a really good lesson with one of my reading studetns. He is really catching on and I am so excited for him! TGRO was fun, too. I got to play outside in the park with my student and another tutor and his student because they got their homework done. It was so much fun to just hang out with my student. I got pizza from a little pizza place on the corner near my internship for dinner. It was so good...and really cheap. I chaired the last meeting of the Planning Committee. Not a very good turn-out, but that happens. I just home someone decides to take over leadership. I've put so much work into the committee over the semester, I don't want to see it fall apart.

I didn't go to my internship until 11:30 today, so I had some time to get some work done this morning...I am feeling much less stressed about homework now. My supervisor and I went to parent-teacher conferences...boy, was that fun. I ended up having an interview with a woman from Beyondmedia in Rogers Park after work for my issue project. I had such a wonderful time talking with this woman. She shared her personal story with me and then shared information about her former position at the Chicago Legal Advocacy for Incarcerated Mothers and her current position. She was such an inspiration to me. After the interview she even invited me to Beyondmedia's open house. Sadly, it won't be until mid-May, so I won't be here.

I got a letter from Bruce today, which always makes me happy. I also found out that I will be living in West Scott with Alicia next year! I am so excited about that.

The weather has been really great here. Tomorrow we are going on a "toxic tour" for core course and then to the Garfield Park Conservatory. I am really excited about it. Saturday I am going to visit my uncle and Sunday will be a homework day, unfortunately. I am also very excited to go to Ripon next weekend!

P.S. I will add more pictures this weekend.
