I know those of you that read my blog (all three of you) don’t because of any interest in my personal life, however, due to the lack of updates I thought I owe you an explanation.
I’m back at Texas A&M University this summer partaking in an internship with the Youth Adventure Program (though it’s not a requirement for my masters degree). The job is that of a camp counselor for middle school and high school students and requires just about every ounce of energy from dusk till dawn. So, over the next four weeks or so I’ll be updating sporadically.
Additionally, if you have any kids or relatives in those age groups listed above, I highly recommend this program to give the student a taste of what collegiate academic life is like (it also gives them a chance to socialize and participate in a oodles of fun 24×7).
One of the classes I took kids to during the week was Horticulture and the Science of Plants. That page contains the syllabus and notes we used throughout the week to learn about everything from carniverous plants to genetically modified crops — it was like a hands on episode of the Discovery Channel each and every day.
Anyways, if I have a chance, I’ll try to write up a blurb about the various social activities we do to wear kids out on a daily basis. No promises though.
