Hey it was a sunny day today!!!! It's a miracle, hehe!
Today I got to observe at Tamarside Community College (which is really a high school). It was a really interesting experience. All of the teachers were great and so were the students. I spent about a half hour talking to an 8th grade class-pretty much having a Q&A with them about things they wanted to know about America. The questions were pretty ridiculous, ha ha:
"Have you ever seen anyone get shot?"
"Do you know any movie stars?"
"Do you live by Run DMC?"
It was a blast talking with these kids, and I hope they learned some things about America; maybe I even cleared up some stereotypes or common disbeliefs! The kids were great today. I had a blast. Seeing these schools makes me consider teaching abroad one day in the future...I don't know- but it's been running through my mind as of late.
So I got my grade for my first project (the one posted on this blog) and I got a 4.0!! :) Yay, I guess hard work really pays off, eh?
After being at the high school all day then having class, I decided that I needed a shopping break with Kailey. It was lots of fun and I got a lot of cute clothes. The clothes here are way more fashionable than back at home!
Alright, I have to get working on some homework!! I will blog tomorrow-though it might be kinda late because tomorrow night is "80's Prom" with all of the MSU people here! It should be great fun! I'll keep ya posted!
Cheers,
Tara
PS. The picture is of me touching the waters at Bath! I'm a rebel, what can I say? :)

HURRY UP EVERYBODY and come to America. Where in all probability you'll be shot, or at the very least, be shot at, with in minutes of your arrival. But that's ok because that great American icon Run DMC lives here and will "pop a cap" in that bad guy's ass. Gimmie a break! Holy crap! I hope you gave those children a good dose of reality during "questions and answers". Personally I would have loved to answer some of their questions. Just convey to the little darlings that although Detroit is the most dangerous place on the planet, with the avg life expectencey (however you spell it) being about 3 yrs. You shouldn't allow a few "bad apples" spoil it for the whole bunch. So come to America and enjoy. But come armed....LOL.
