Assignment #12 The Buddy System

As I stated in my previous blog I started working on my student teaching application. I was actually under the impression that it was due May 1st it is for the CTE but the teaching of Spanish Dept wants us to have it completed by April 23rd this means that I have less to time to complete it. I will submit my student teaching application April 23 at 1:30pm it will be reviewed by the director of the teaching of Spanish dept. they just want to make sure we have everything completed. I also have to come up with a list of twelve schools where I would like to do my student teaching. I have about four schools in mind so I need to think about that too. I am almost done writing the four essays. My resume needs some editing. My plan is to make an appointment with the writing center this week so they can take a look at my essays and resume. I was supposed to take the OPI exam today but I had to reschedule so I will definitely take it next week Monday April 20th.
I have so many papers and projects due I just want the semester to be over! I can’t wait until May 7th. I am also working on a project for my EPSY 446 class we have to create our own charter school it’s a lot of work. I’m trying to take everything one step at a time so that I don’t get overwhelmed. Today I’m supposed to be meeting with another partner we’re working on modifying and critiquing a lesson plan it’s for another education course I’m taking this semester.
I found a buddy for my buddy system and it wasn’t difficult to find one. I asked my boyfriend to be my buddy he agreed to do it. Besides I always talked to him about this class and how the objective was for us to reach our goals. I told him how much I liked the class and every week he’d inquire about the class the readings and how far along I was with my goal. In a sense I guess I already had a buddy since my boyfriend was always very active and inquiring about my goal and progress. He is also a student at UIC his major is civil engineering like me he has goals and wants to do very well this semester and the following semesters as well. He would like to get an internship and do some research. We are very supportive of each other. We held our meeting this past Sunday for about 45 minutes we just talked about our classes and our major projects due. He even helped me put my resume together. He looked over my student teaching essays and provided me with good feedback. It was very helpful. I look forward to our next meeting and wait till the semester is over!!!
