Busy Busy week

   This week has been extremely busy, even busier than I had been expecting, not quite sure why. I know part of the reason is my large presentation for my seminar course is tomorrow so I have been working like crazy to put the final touches on it. I really love my topic and I am super excited to talk about it, but the overall delivery always makes me nervous. I am very glad to be getting to present earlier rather than later. I feel like the later on in the term it gets, the more work there is so this is one less thing I need to do. I may have mentioned earlier that my topic is KIPP schools. One of my classmates is doing a presentation on charter schools,so I had to find ways to cover what makes KIPP different, which is easy enough to do, but just wanted to avoid any overlap. It is an hour to an hour and twenty minuted presentation, which I think to date is the longest I have had to present, so I am hoping it all goes well. Part of the presentation is supposed to be interactive, so if I planned it right takes some of the burden away from me.
   This Friday, the very much anticipated Wine Tasting event and food is being held. I have been looking forward to this for weeks and has been what I have been looking ahead to with this busy week. I will certainly let you know how it goes. Also Friday, I am helping my mentor chaperone his AP students to RPI. My mentor had worked in one of the labs at RPI over the summer and thought it would be really neat to bring his AP Biology students there for the day to tour the facilities and learn about the different research that is being done right across the street. We will also be doing lunch there, so this is a great way to end the week and I am really interested myself to see what is being done at RPI.
  Well I  think that is all for now. Hoping the weather gets warmer soon, it is freezing today.
