1) While I am in Costa Rica this summer, one of my Spanish 4 students will be studying abroad in Spain. I can't wait to hear about his experience there.
2) I found out on Honors Day that I received the Rosalind A. and James M. Cain Faculty Fellowship Award to cover some of the expenses of my trip.
3) Today I received a message from one of my Spanish 3 students. She is a fantastic student, but she was struggling a bit with the decision to take Spanish 4. I was so happy to read that she is "excited" about the class in the fall.
Messages like this one make the planning and extra hours and mountains of emails worth it.
4) I know someone else going on the trip!...well sort of. We met last summer at an AP Summer Institute. Jessica is a southern girl as well, and she teaches in Georgia. I'm thankful that I have someone to plan my trip with!
This summer is PACKED with plans already, and I came across Psalm 37 this past week. I can't help but be reminded of how true it is.
Psalm 37:3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness.
I look forward to posting about the trip!
