March (Already?)

Not much to update on of late. It is March (already!) and things are moving along at a comfortable pace. I have not been updating the blog lately because I have been hard at work on polishing up my writing portfolio. I plan on applying to grad school in the next month and I need to hand in an 8-12 page writing sample. All of my time has been spent focusing on that.

Other than that, the semester is moving along quickly. Last week the students had to do oral presentations. Their assignment was to write an original 10-15 minute drama and perform it, all in English, with props and costumes if they so desired. They did an outstanding job, managing to poke fun at me on occasions, as well as doing some other funny stuff (such as the Obama Girl spoof in which my sister was affectionately known as Apple Lee Hamburger). Creativity and laughter was apparent all around and the kids seemed to really enjoy performing. Hopefully I will be able to put some links up, as some of them were videotaped.
