Today we had our last meeting. The first thing we did was divide up all of the KY gifts that we are taking. Dr. Lindsey gave us a lot of packing and travel advice since Brittany is a first time traveler, and I haven't traveled since 6th grade. After we had a quick visit from a puppy and ate some delicious quiche, we got back to work. We went over the observation checklists that I created a few days ago. Some alterations were discussed, so I have to change them and resend them to everyone.
Brittany and I also submitted out abstracts to the Celebration of Student Celebration which is kind of like Morehead's version of Posters-at-the-Capitol. I am doing my research on the differences in the teacher standards between Kentucky and New Zealand.Dr. Lindsey helped me make copies from one of my textbooks so that I can do my homework in NZ without bringing my heavy textbook. She also sent the papers to her e-mail so I have them on my computer and I have hard copies.
When I got back to my dorm I started packing. I actually enjoy packing so I was excited to start since I finally had everything I needed to put into my suitcase. I will be doing laundry tonight so that I can put everything I need from my dorm into my suitcase. Hopefully, I will discover things over the next few days that I will need but forgot to pack.
When I woke up today, I found out about the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Luckily, it didn't hit New Zealand, but I think we are all starting to wonder if the universe is telling us not to go on this trip. Haha. Yesterday, I looked up the forecast for the days will will be in New Zealand. Apparently it is one of the warmest March/April that they have ever had. Almost all of the days had a high of almost 80 degrees which will be a great change since I woke up to snow this morning.
4 days!!!
