I just wanted to say... yes, I'm still alive. I'll be posting stuff soon! I'm off to Utah for conference and the BYU v Utah State game. I'm meeting up with my high school buds, Tan, Tay, Michael, Jordan, David, Sara! I'm stoked to see them. I also get to meet up with my buddha, and hopefully my WONDERFUL cousins!!! I LOVE COUSINS! Can't wait.
Some of you wonder... what IS Heidi's type. Welp. Here he is. (I'm not much of a crusher on the stars, but eh what the heck) I loved him as Jess on Gilmore Girls and I love him on Heroes as Peter Petrelli. If you find a Jess Petrelli out there somewhere, set me up. - He Broods - He works in public services - He's passionate about saving the world - He reads, loves music and movies and loves to talk about things that matter - He knows how to chill, but also likes a good concert - He's good but not safe
So I don't really have any friends yet outside of school and my house. HOWEVER - thank you to my sister Hillary, I'm going to make Jack Bauer my new friend. Heck, might as well. I've always wanted to get into 24, but wanted to start from the beginning. I don't have time for yet another show right now anyway... so here I go. I'm starting Season 1. (haha) For those of you who have seen it, please don't ruin any endings. All I know, is that my dad doesn't like Jack's daughter and whenever she's on screen he fast forwards... hmmm?
Can't wait for Heroes (Sept 21) and NCIS (Sept 22) to start new seasons. I MUST have my super hero and US special forces friends in my life. I don't usually have time for much (other than my nightly news rituals) until the weekends, so thank heavens for DVR!
I made a quick visit to Texas for my niece Cassidy's baptism! She's soooo darling! It was such a great experience and so fun to see three 8-year-olds get baptised. It was a great time with lots of family time and great food thanks to Hill. I miss everyone already, it's hard to leave them... but it's good to be back in my routine.
I'm sad the only picture I took was of jakey eating a chocolate chip cookie. He's definitely got some Jardine genes... we sure love chocolate chip cookies.
I felt it neccessary to take a picture of my first day teaching. LOOK MOM! haha. She doesn't even read this.
Anyway... I have three lab sections of Public Speaking (COM 101). I only teach the lab sections, some days the students are in a giant lecture. It was a good time. The first section of the day was a little rough, but the second and third went very well. I'm excited to be learning how to teach and working with students to improve their skills in something I believe in! It's a good time.
I introduced them to our class "theme song". It's the Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA" song that in the chorus talks about the butterflies flying away. We all laughed together about it and I told them to picture me dancing to that song when they're nervous on speech day. Hopefully it works for them. I'm even thinking of implementing my dad's "bubble blowing" technique on Speech Day to relieve nerves. We'll see how that goes. Then we got more serious and talked about lab rules, etc etc and went over how to write a speech outline. It was a great experience. Looking forward to more like it.
