Rum-Springa Break!

My to-do list is mounting. However, after a week of 5am - 12am workdays, I am taking this opportunity to watch "Amish on Break," a National Geographic program about five Amish teenagers spending four weeks in the U.K, taking their first airplane ride, seeing their first ocean, and entering their first nightclub!

"Just to hear their hoof beats makes me excited."

For those who have known me in pre-adolescence, you know about my infatuation with literature centering around children with cancer, and Amish people. In my childhood, I was an avid reader of two authors: Beverly Lewis and Lurlene McDaniel. I'm going to bypass a discussion of Lurlene McDaniel, because there's just too much to say.

What I am anticipating.

So, as a measure of accountability, and an update to the interweb, here's the Saturday to-do:

• GAA - Finish 6th grade portfolios. {1 down, 3 to go!}
• IEP - updates...
• Lesson Plans
• IRB application - UGA - revisions
• IRB application - Cobb - do!
• Research proposal - Updates
• Literature Review - Write it.
• Talk with la jefa.
• Clean apartment!

That may be a fair amount of acronyms for you newbs, but the world of special education, well, it's all acronymns. Exaplantory links are provided. 

But for now, I'm going to keep watching this show about Amish people. At 4 o'clock, I'm digging deep. 

So happy Saturday to you all! May it be more engaging than mine (so far). 

P.S. Sorry that this is a personal post, and has nothing to do with anything autism (I mean, it all has to do with autism, but nothing news worthy). I CANNOT wait to divulge some of the plans we've got going for July!
