Today is my first day of Fall Semester. Yup, summer break is over. A lot of things happened during this summer. First, I got an internship in Say Yes to Education Summer Program (Syracuse). I taught Kindergarten Kids in Dr.King Elementary School. We promoted the university life and environments (of course the great and good ones). The kids called every teacher "Professor" (yup, Prof. Mehkta!) We went to lots of museums in Syracuse. We learned together, but we also had fun together. It was great. I miss the kids already. I learned great things from the teachers, from the kids, from everyone.
Second, I moved in to new apartment house. I moved in with my church friend. I have three other housemates. The house is nice; air-conditioned living room with TV and cable, free internet, and of course it's a non-smoking house. But what actually attracted me to move in to this place was the family who owned this house (aka. my landlord family, which is my church friend's family). I see this family as my family in US. They are very nice and warm.
Third, I got an on-campus employment in CDL (Center for Digital Literacy) in iSchool. I love the work and I expect to learn a lot from this work (which I'm sure I will). This work is one year project work, so my employment will last until next Spring (2010). Yippie!
Fourth, I'm excited to be enrolled in these two courses (for my Fall semester): IST 616 Information Resources: Organization and Access (in iSchool) & IDE 651 Message Design. I hope I will feel engaged and motivated to learn more and to go beyond the syllabus/ requirements. I will start the IST 616 class in 30 minutes! *finger crossed*
Anyway, when I unpacked my stuff a week ago, I found my post-it notes from the Evaluation class I took last Spring semester. I quoted Mrs.Kirkhart (Professor Nick Smith's dearly wife) when she substituted her husband in my class.
This is what I quote from her:
God bless Mrs.Kirkhart!
