Just Another Update… March 29, 2008

Yeah, I know it’s been nearly a month since my last update. Sue me. My life got even crazier all of a sudden over the last couple of weeks.

So I had my interview last Wednesday, March 19. I really hope it went well – I want to teach SO much, and this program is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Anna Hamilton, one of the directors at Summerbridge Fort Worth, the site I want to teach at, said they have a high demand for math teachers right now because there’s such a shortage- and lo and behold, I applied to be a math teacher! Go figure, eh? XD She said that she and Joe, the other director, will be making their final decisions soon, so I should hear back from them within a couple of weeks if I’m lucky!

Long time, no post! March 1, 2008

Sorry it’s been so long, guys!  Life has been crazy!

Well, the Academic Decathlon did NOT make it to state.  Our team this year was amazing though.  We achieved our school’s highest team total (36,644 points or something like that out of a (im)possible 60,000) and I gained the highest point total ever for a varsity team member (just over 6,000).  If each of us had improved our individual score by about 300 points (which is approximately two more questions right per test- not impossible) we would have made state.  Ah well.  Something to shoot for next year!  XD
