A new goal has been realized...it's probably going to make me sound like an airhead, though. This week in my class, students are reading articles from Junior Scholastic about world leaders. I had to explain things I thought I knew about the Middle East but then wasn't so sure about. It reminded me that a few years ago--come to think about it, this was another sister-self-improvement idea--right around New Years, Renee and I went to Barnes and Noble to spend our Christmas gift cards. Renee bought a book on American history, and I bought The Middle East for Dummies. It has been sitting on my desk since it made its way out of the bag...enter, perfect goal!
Goal #34: read and (hopefully) understand the Middle East. It's sitting here on the couch next to me...still haven't cracked it open, but I have 10 1/2 months!
Well, I need to go perfect my Halloween costume for tomorrow. I've never been a huge fan of dressing up, but tomorrow's costume will be comfortable and requires no face paint--that's where I draw the line! I'm dressing up like a seventh grader...my students advised me on outfit ideas, so now I have to make my final selection: skinny jeans or yoga pants? flip flops or fake Ugg boots? high bun or fish-tail braid? So many options...I may be able to use this costume again next year!
Happy Soon-to-be Friday!
