My Nephew Turned 3

Oysters on the Half-Shell

Zach got a hold of bag of oysters and brought them up to Hattiesburg, We ate them raw with homemade cocktail sauce.

This semester will be my busiest yet.  I am still working with Athletics for at least 20 hours a week, and I am also teaching one class each day for the English Language Institute.  On top of that, I am also working on my practicum and final portfolio. My work with Athletics will be interesting this term since I have almost doubled the number of athletes that I am mentoring.  The guys that I am working with seem to be buying what I am selling, but the semester has just started.  It will be interesting to see if they stay motivated once spring practice begins.

My ELI students are awesome and are always demanding more work.  I am getting to test out many of the methods and activities that I have learned through my classes/research, and these students are making my life much easier since they are so willing to try anything to improve their English.

Since I graduate in May, I have also been getting ready for the job search, and I have been keeping up with ESL job openings.  I have retooled my resume, and I have started compiling a list of institutes that I will contact.  We will see how it goes. I have applied for a couple of positions, and now the wait begins.  I will probably have a few more sleepless nights before I have secured a position.
