best of 09: conference

continuing on with the best of 09 challenge

December 6 - Workshop or Conference. Was there a conference or workshop you attended that was especially beneficial? Where was it? What did you learn?

ummmm, even though i was working at this conference and not a participant i'd have to go with what i did in dc this summer. working with over 300 amazing high school students from around the US and then around the world was an AMAZING experience. i learned so much from them, but it gave me the experience to teach high schoolers in a fun way and to let my slightly crazy self come out and be completely passionate about history and the government. i gained a lot from this experience when i did the program in high school and even more as a facilitator getting to provide this experience for high schoolers.also my co-workers were pretty awesome.

national kids at my favorite tj in dc


annnnnnnnd i just bought tickets to see riverdance in nyc in march! a little happy st. patrick's day and a celebration of irish love, plus march is when i moved back to the states, so just something to remind me of my favorite place. also it is the farewell tour, they've been around since 1995, and it will be cool to see them in radio city for the last time, since it was their first show in the US. so yay for that :) and though michael flatley won't be performing it makes me laugh because i met him in 2005 in cork, and then last year we were on the same flight once from cork to london.



how was everyone's weekend? any good plans this week?
