Boring update.

Well, I finished up my short course on “Energy, Economics and the Environment”. All-in-all it was pretty informative. Since it was aimed at teachers, they showed us some activities that we could do with children. The main topics were basic economic terms, energy, forestry and water. We made paper and played with playdough. Like a total goon, I loved it.

Nico worked all day and I worked on several projects. I’ve been working on research for my Foundations of Education class and my AAFCS Conference project. I spent about two hours combined in the PSU library and the public library. For Foundations I’m researching Title IX which I only thought applied to girls in sports, but I was wrong. It prevents all types of gender/sex discrimination in education.

After my jaunt to the libraries, I worked on our bathroom. I’ve got joint compound up on most of the sheetrock. Nico’s pretty good at conservation of building materials. Unfortunately, in his effort to waste as little as possible, he’s made me some really interesting joints for me to patch. Since it’s a bathroom, it will get glossy paint and that leaves no margin of error for the ol’ spackler (me). I’ll get it done, but it’s going to take me some extra time (and TLC).

I’m trying out a new recipe for dinner (well actually, after dinner) it’s Rocky Road No-Bake Cheesecake. I found the recipe at my new favorite website (thanks Summer!) www.kraftfoods.com.

Nico doesn’t have to work tomorrow, so hopefully we’ll get a lot done on the bathroom. Wish us luck!
