Monday: 8 hours of classes

Hey yall,
I thought I would surprise you by blogging 2 days in a row! Surprise!
Today was the 1st day of classes. It was 7 degrees. The bus didn't come so I walked to class. I was still on time though because it was a really early bus. It was an NYU bus and they dont come here that often.

My first class was from 12:30 to 3:00 and it was the one about Students with Severe and Multiple Disabilities. The professor was very intense but I liked him. He paused and said INTERESTING really dramatically every time he said something interesting. He's done a lot of cool stuff and is currently in a law suit over some special education laws.
My next three classes were all in the same room with the same group of people.
The first one was Classroom Assessment where we learn about student testing, assessment and evaluation- specifically testing students for special education.
Then we had our Integrated Seminar about student teaching. We had a new professor for some reason (we were supposed to have the same lady as last semester- this one was a guy but he was really nice anyway).
The last class was Integrating Curriculum in Science, Health and Math. Its going to be a lot of work but should be pretty fun because honestly elementary school level science is pretty fun. Each week we have to write and perform a simple experiment with things we can find in our kitchen or easily buy at the grocery store.
That class got out at 8 and I came home and had dinner and then we had a floor meeting in the dorm.
now I'm super tired but since I don't have any homework to do right this second (its all due next Monday) I thought I would do this instead.
