Hey all! So I know mom posted earlier about me throwing up, but I'm fine now. Honestly, she wouldn't have freaked out so much if Sara hadn't said it was white foam. I ate my dinner at 7:30 instead of 5:30 (torcher! Let me tell you!) just in case, but I've been fine ever since. I just drank my water to fast I think. Mom asked if there was any way that there could be laundry sope (what's that?) in my water bowl, but everybody pours it over the big, loud, machine thing. --Bilko, that's a washer.-- Thanks mom. Anyway. I feel fine now. So, I thought I was in the mood to write, but I'm tired, so think I'll go to bed. Here's what I posted on FB earlier: So, yesterday mom and I went to the big place with all the food and sometimes loud music, (what's it called? I don't remember), and there were lots of people and I got to see my friend Tyler! Mom talked to some groups too. Boring! I slept. Now waiting for mom to take me out. Lazy day today for me.
Pretty much sums up my weekend, other than going to this restaurant with mom and our other people we live with and a bunch of people I'd met a couple of times before. I think they were the girl called Sara's family. Mom tried to put me under her chair but somehow i got stepped on or pinched by the chair and I didn't like that. I started yelping and stood up. Then mom found that there was a bench near her I could lay under and she could still have the leash since it was where Shelby was sitting right next to her. Shelby had to jump over me though. haha!
Going to bed now, but maybe write later,
Bilko

Transitions Expo 2011
Today Shelby and I spoke at the second Annual Transitions Expo at BG. We got up around 6:30, (well I did), and we walked to campus, which is about ten blocks, to be there by 8:30. It was cold! It was a nice walk though.
After a yummy coffee and blueberry muffin, we listened to LeDerrick... Horn? I think that was his last name, but I'm not sure. He has a neurological impairment and spoke of his difficulties and how he came to where he is today. Then we talked to two groups of parents of students with disabilities. There were students ranging from freshman in high school to seniors. It was really fun. There were 4 of us total. The first group wasn't very talkative, but the second was really good. Then I went down for lunch, and Shelby left. I ran into a friend/teacher at the Sight Center I did some things with a few years ago, so that was fun to see her, and she gave me a ride home, so that was nice. She helped me find Sara S, who I went to ACBO convention with last year, and so that was great to see her and little her dog too. LOL
I also got to see a girl that I went to camp with a few years ago, who's now a Sophomore in high school. She has a visual impairment. I then talked on a panel for students. It was called "learning after high school," and there was me, a girl from a two year program, and a man who was in an internship program type thing. It was a really nice mix of people and representations, and at the end I got a business card from one of the Special Education coordinators at TPS! He wants me to try to get in to wherever he is for methods. he said "we're always looking for highly enthusiastic methods students," or something to that effect. I was really excited.
Now we're getting ready to go to Outback Steak House with Sara's family for her uncle's birthday.
11:07 pm We're back, and it was fun. I love Sara's grandma, and her family is so fun! We got lost trying to find a mall, but we did it, and I got a cool clock puzzle for my classroom, and a nerf basketball set for Alex and Mason. I had this really cute pair of shirts, but they were $50, and I wanted to get the toys lol, so I didn't get it and am asking for it for Christmas. Sara took a pictchre.

FEW!!!
Hey! I'm still alive! :) Amazing huh? I've been sooo busy with school, and really should be busy with it right now, but I'm not cause I wanted to write this... obviously! IDK why since I kinda think I'm the only one who reads it lol! If you are reading, leave a comment with... your favorite form of exercise, that can also include laughing histarically at the idea, since until recently that've been me! :)
I say until recently because I never really worked out much until a week ago, last Wednesday to be exact. Three of my roommates and I decided we were gonna work out together every other day, because Sara and I need to get in shape--although we're both skinny, we aren't in shape by any means,-- and Mike used to work out all the time because of football but doesn't really anymore. So we went to the workout room at our apartment complex, and I did the elliptical for like 15 minutes, but then decided I should really be doing a paper that was due Thursday, so I left. We then decided to work out Tuesday Thursday Saturday since those are the days Sara doesn't go to the preschool the next day. I went Saturday with them and did the bike (not sure how long), and messed around with weights and the rowing machine which I really like. We were over there for about an hour, but not sure how much of that was actually working out. I didn't get to go Tuesday since I was busy but I went today, and did 3.89 miles (roughly) on the bike, and 30 reps (or whatever you call them haha!) on the rowing machine set at 40 lbs, plus a little bit on elliptical. Got bored since I didn't bring my booksense and went back to the bike since there's music there haha! Next time I'm charging my Booksense and bring that, although it may get in my way since I don't have a clip or anything for it... Overall though, I feel good! :)

Airport Madness!
from tuesday March 8, 2011
So we're on the plain and almost didn't make it. So when you take a guide dog on a plain you would think you could get to a relieving area to let the dog go before they go on the flight. Well apparently Houston likes to make things complecated! We had sooo many issues coming to find a relieving area!area because nobody knew what they were talking about! the one lady sent us down to bagage where there was one and we couldn't find it because it was on the other side of a parking garage. We went to ask somebody but nobody was in information. somebody did tell us there was 1 in termonal d so we tried there after riding the stupid train for half an hour and going in huge circles because the train went weird ways... don't ask hahaha! we didn't find it in d either so went back to c and decided to go and try and get him to relieve on concrete. I should have kept up on making him do that. we tried to get him to go in front of a cop car, (nobody was in it), but he wouldn't and we had half an hour till boarding. Aunt L, (teachers sister that told us all to call her Aunt), ended up driving us to a patch of grass and he finally went! We then had to rush through security and they scanned my braillenote twice for some reason, but we made it to the plain with time to use the restroom before boarding. few! Talk about stressful!

Sp--Texas!
Over spring break I went to Aldine Texas with the Education department. Actually it was all early childhood majors except me and Dr. P's son. We went to see the Aldine school system. We left Saturday March 4 and came back late Tuesday night. Our flight was delayed 2.5 hours due to who knows what, so we got to Houston around 4:30-ish which would be 5:30-ish in Ohio.
We decided to go to the Texas Rodeo, because most of us wanted to see Billy Kurington, but we missed the concert, so we just went to the huuuge carnival. Sara and I split yummy barbecue ribs and funnel cake. We were going to ride rides but decided not to do that, because the tickets were expensive. We got back to the hotel around 11:30 in Texas which was 12:30 in Ohio so pretty late.
On Sunday we went to Nasa space station in Houston and took a tram tour of some of the buildings including the old mission control center that was used for the first landing on the moon in 1969, and also the training center for the astronauts. It was cool, but I do wish I could have seen them. We went through a building that was the whole space craft that was the length of the building. It showed the rocket boosters as well. I also got an "audio tour" which was basically an MP3 player and a sheet with numbers that you typed into the player to hear what they said about whatever you were looking at, but I just ended up typing in some numbers to hear information since I obviously couldn't see what was around me anyway. Sara and I got dip-and-dots! They were sooo good! We had trouble getting the vending machine to work. Yeah, a vending machine for dip-and-dots. Weird, huh? We finally went to the actual stand and got them.
After Nasa we went to Galviston, (which I didn't realize is completely an island), and after driving around for awhile looking at houses and trying to decide where to eat, walked around on the beach. Bilko loved running around on his flexy leash. He even went into the canal for a little bit! It wasn't deep at all and no waves but he did like walking around in it. He did drink salt water, and I kept having to stop him, so I fed him and he drank pretty much a full bottle of water.
We finally decided to go eat at some famous Texas place called Lubi's, but it wasn't there anymore, so we went to this Italian and seafood restaurant called Mario's and I got lobster-stuffed ravioli that was quite good and jelato for desert. It was good. I'd never had and before, but the meal and it were expensive. $25 for everything. We had a really cool waiter who gave us tons of samples of jelato and Sara and I took a picture with him.
Monday we went to a EC Pre-k school that was a public pre-k-- weird since we don't have them in Ohio. It was a montessorri school for economically disadvantaged children. Here are my notes from it:
Preschool: montessorri schools are very structured and quiet. Did a song about reading before reading a book. (Read a book called The Cow Boy mouse. Haha!) Read aloud together. The teacher read the book but the kids did read it too. Lots of repetitions. They use a lot more difficult words than many preschools. Lots of singing. Lots of repetition used in instruction and memory techniques. Sounding out words. 100% participation (everyone gets to participate.) Visuals for everything. A lot of songs that the students sing to tell peers good job. (That's the way I like it for example.) Songs for rule following. lots of songs and motions. (I am happy when you follow the rules. I am sad when you don't follow the rules. to the tune of if your happy and you know it.) I don't like how she used pink for girls and blue for boys when giving students writing paper. The classroom is very colorful and everything is labeled. The curriculum now is what we learned in kindergarten. LOTS of repetition. They repeated the learning goals for the lessens after the teacher said them. In gym they were more like typical kids. They played a game where they had a "magic clip" and whoever had the clip had to run around the room until they found their partner and then they had to go get the number of beanbags that was said and take them back to their spot. They shared, practiced counting, and got exercise as well as listening. The teacher also had a moddle of what the kids were supposed to do on the mats, (where they put the beanbags), on the wall.
When they spell things a lot of times they just have the kids sound it out. (cow, Ca-ah-wa.)
The special Ed class wasn't as montessorri based because of having to teach to IEPS. Many of the kids have language problems. The second teacher was louder than the first, the classroom also seemed more open. The students were also more talkative. She didn't use the cards either. The walls aren't as crowded. She did a lot of repetition. The cards were used for when they were at stations. After we got back Sara and I wanted to go to the hot-tub, but didn't have much time, so we went for like 15 minutes and came back to get back in our professional clothes to go to a meeting the BG grads working in aldine. I looove Aldine! I'm not sure intervention majors can apply to student teach there, but I really want to! It is amazzzing! We had a wonderful "ar salking to the PR guy that does all the hiring of teachers in Aldine, and some BG grads that are now teaching in Aldine. We then just hung out in our hotel rooms for the night because we were all tired.
Tuesday we went to this engineering school for K-4. Yeah! An entineering-based elementary school! They had sessions where they did different types of engineering, although I didn't get to see any. It was really neat! Here are my notes from that day:
4th grade at an engineering and math science elementary school. Class 1 room number 30. She starts out with a warmup activity for the class, (a packet), she is reading the activity too 2 kids. A lot of independent work is done at the beginning of her class. This teacher randomly sings her instructions! Hahahaha! The class came up with weird words to make sure they had the right multiple choice letter. (one kid said "call of duty," when she said "cookie" for C haha!) She used "tree diagrams" for organizing answers from two groups, (how many colors combinations can you get when...) Sometimes they play basketball where they get to answer questions against another group and whenever someone gets an answer right they get to shoot. (Didn't actually do this but was told about it.) The entire class went to the bathroom at once and went in groups of 3 guys and 3 girls. Read homework problems aloud to check them. Played a math game with angles where the teacher drew a bunch of lines on the board and the students had to write what angles they saw, (they were numbered.) One person was at the board and the rest were answering at their seats. If everyone got the answer right the team got a point, and if the person at the board got it right they got another point. Teacher was very enthusiastic, and repeated instructions a lot. She has multiple classes. The second class she actually practiced the "geometry Simon says," which she didn't practice before playing the game with the first class. (Right, obtuse, acute, translation, reflection, rotation, perpendicular, intersecting, parallel, line.)
Classroom 2: She graduated from Toledo U! Teaches reading but incorporates writing and language as well. Uses smart board. Plays trash can basketball and other games for TAX preparation. She also does "Bubba Bucks" which means every time kids do homework, answer questions in class etc they get bucks and when they don't do homework etc they pay her and can spend them at her "store" once a month. Teaches budgeting money. Does crafts to go along with books. She lets them be very creative. As long as they have what is needed for grading they can do what they want with the project. They do not have much art so she incorporates it into lessons. (Not much music either. Once every two weeks.)
The special education teachers in Texas co-teach and work with the students in special ed in inclusion settings. TAX is harder than OAT and determins whether or not the students pass the grade. If not they go to summer school. Everything in her classroom is labeled and she has students that are "table captains" that make sure everything is put away. Flash cards for sentences and sentence structure. Has set of paint strips, (free from Loes), that say A B C D and they kids use a close pin to show the answer and they can pick what color paint strip they want. A CD with prefixes, suffixes etc and they spin it and whatever there finger is pointed to when spin stops is what they have to use for the sentence, (also free.) MANY free reading activities.
Overall I think the elementary school convinced me more than the Pre-K since I can teach elementary. I loooved it! I'm totally going to apply for student teaching! (well if possible. I'll check into it when I get back to school.)
We had tex-mex for dinner and then went to the airport where the next crazy adventure began!

party and drama :)
Ok, so I'm tired, and really need to finish my english paper, but I thought I'd write this first.
Mikes party was a success :)
We were unsure if we could pull it off, because Sara's been sick all week, and her phone broke the other day, so we had to text or call on Mike's phone when he wasn't around to make sure we knew what was going on. Today I thought she was coming around 11 to my dorm to start cooking since it was lasagna and neither of us had made it before. 11 came and went and she wasn't here. I tried texting Mike's phone "Happy birthday Mike! :)... and if sara still has the phone, tell him for me." Mike had the phone. Crap!
I decided to do laundry while I waited (still need to put that away lol), and she finally knocked on my door around 12:30. We had to run to the little grocery store right next door to my dorm on campus to get last minute supplies, and grab ourselves something to eat since neither of us had eaten yet. We checked out the kitchen key and started cooking.
We made "dill dip" Yum veggie dip! When we tried it though it tasted more like cream cheese and mayonase (yes I know I spelled that way wrong... hush! :)
We decided to add more Dill Weed, and vwahla! It tasted nearly perfect! Note to self... when making dill dip, add extra dill.
We then started the Lasagna, but half way through browning the meat Sara realized we didn't have shredded matzarella or parmasan cheese. (seriously! How do you spell these things? lol)
So Sara took over the browning from me, and I ran to commons (the grocery store) and got the cheeses plus plates and cups. On my way back, since I'd ran in to Mike on the first floor earlier when taking Bilko out, I was listening for his voice and ready to hide the food (don't ask how) if he came buy. Walking down the hall-- almost to the kitchen...
"Hi Jenna!"
Crap!
"Hi Mike."
"Is Sara still with you?"
"huh?"
"wasn't Sara gonna hang out with you?"
"O yeah, I think she went back to Harshman."
"aww! Seriously?"
"I think so."
I couldn't hide the bag at this point, so I decided to pretend I'd missed the stairs I needed to go up to my room and go back until he was gone so I could sneak to the kitchen. Then his parents said something about how nice our apartment was going to be next year while I was trying to walk away. Arg! So I stood there and talked to them until a couple girls came up and started talking to me. I didn't know it at first, but they were friends of Sara and Mike. I'd met them before, but didn't recognize them. Then one of them asked if she could take the bag to the kitchen and Mike and his parents had walked away, so we finally got to the kitchen.
I'd just sent Mike all the way across campus looking for Sara, hoping this would give us time to finish cooking. He got to Harshmen like 15 minutes later and texted me (Sara's phone is still broke remember)
"Hey I thought you said Sara was going to Harshman?"
"I thought she did, but she might have went back to work... I think she left something there."
A few minutes later Sara told me to text him that she was back at Kohl (my dorm) and to meet us there. He called and told Sara he was at Harshman but would come to Kohl.
By the time he got back the Lasagna was almost done and Sara was working on the cake. She was using Mike's family's secret recipe for caromel icing that he'd made so much around her she memorized it... and hacked his facebook (his password is stored on his computer.)
It all turned out wonderful!
They have a lot of veggies and cheese left over though. The veggie tray was weird! It was carots, cucumbers, celery, and green peppers. Where was the Coliflower and broccoli? O and it was thanks to Meagan the lasagna got done because she brought the Tomato paste! lol
Over all it was great and we all had fun hanging with friends and for meagan and I making new ones. :)
Now english paper time. :( Bleh!

Mikes party was a success :)
We were unsure if we could pull it off, because Sara's been sick all week, and her phone broke the other day, so we had to text or call on Mike's phone when he wasn't around to make sure we knew what was going on. Today I thought she was coming around 11 to my dorm to start cooking since it was lasagna and neither of us had made it before. 11 came and went and she wasn't here. I tried texting Mike's phone "Happy birthday Mike! :)... and if sara still has the phone, tell him for me." Mike had the phone. Crap!
I decided to do laundry while I waited (still need to put that away lol), and she finally knocked on my door around 12:30. We had to run to the little grocery store right next door to my dorm on campus to get last minute supplies, and grab ourselves something to eat since neither of us had eaten yet. We checked out the kitchen key and started cooking.
We made "dill dip" Yum veggie dip! When we tried it though it tasted more like cream cheese and mayonase (yes I know I spelled that way wrong... hush! :)
We decided to add more Dill Weed, and vwahla! It tasted nearly perfect! Note to self... when making dill dip, add extra dill.
We then started the Lasagna, but half way through browning the meat Sara realized we didn't have shredded matzarella or parmasan cheese. (seriously! How do you spell these things? lol)
So Sara took over the browning from me, and I ran to commons (the grocery store) and got the cheeses plus plates and cups. On my way back, since I'd ran in to Mike on the first floor earlier when taking Bilko out, I was listening for his voice and ready to hide the food (don't ask how) if he came buy. Walking down the hall-- almost to the kitchen...
"Hi Jenna!"
Crap!
"Hi Mike."
"Is Sara still with you?"
"huh?"
"wasn't Sara gonna hang out with you?"
"O yeah, I think she went back to Harshman."
"aww! Seriously?"
"I think so."
I couldn't hide the bag at this point, so I decided to pretend I'd missed the stairs I needed to go up to my room and go back until he was gone so I could sneak to the kitchen. Then his parents said something about how nice our apartment was going to be next year while I was trying to walk away. Arg! So I stood there and talked to them until a couple girls came up and started talking to me. I didn't know it at first, but they were friends of Sara and Mike. I'd met them before, but didn't recognize them. Then one of them asked if she could take the bag to the kitchen and Mike and his parents had walked away, so we finally got to the kitchen.
I'd just sent Mike all the way across campus looking for Sara, hoping this would give us time to finish cooking. He got to Harshmen like 15 minutes later and texted me (Sara's phone is still broke remember)
"Hey I thought you said Sara was going to Harshman?"
"I thought she did, but she might have went back to work... I think she left something there."
A few minutes later Sara told me to text him that she was back at Kohl (my dorm) and to meet us there. He called and told Sara he was at Harshman but would come to Kohl.
By the time he got back the Lasagna was almost done and Sara was working on the cake. She was using Mike's family's secret recipe for caromel icing that he'd made so much around her she memorized it... and hacked his facebook (his password is stored on his computer.)
