We had another meeting today. Yesterday must have exhausted us because today Dr. Fernandez was suffering from a cough, Brittany was not feeling well and had a headache, and I have a runny nose! Luckily, our singing debut was pushed back another week so we have time to recuperate.
At the meeting, Brittany finished the schedule of our trip, and I got together our information folders that we are leaving behind when we are in New Zealand. The folders contain our flight information, contact info, etc. Brittany and I submitted our abstracts to NMSA. I decided to focus on the middle schools in New Zealand and I am looking forward to seeing how different they are than the middle schools that I have had field experience in. I am especially looking forward to seeing their physical/outdoor education that Mr. Mattingly alluded to at Posters. His grandchildren went to school in NZ for a year, and he had a lot of great things to say about how fun and interactive the classes are. Brittany chose to look at interventions at the middle school level. We submitted our each abstracts with both of our names, but we are hoping they both get selected. Dr. Lindsey and Dr. Lindsey also submitted a few abstracts. We won't know whether we are excepted until school gets out, and the conference is in Louisville in November.
Unlike our previous attempt, we successfully got a call through to Dr. Lindsey's sister. We will be staying with her during the majority of the trip. We even got to talk to her 6 year old twins, Robert and Sophia. The whole family seems really excited for our visit.
32 days!!!!
