"Ugly Shoes"

I just found out that three more volunteers have been added to the team.  WorldTeach still has one spot open for a person with a strong science background.  If you have a science background and want to go on this adventure with me go to the WorldTeach website for more information.

I am registered to take the Praxis test tomorrow at noon.  I will be at the testing center until 5:00.  It is going to be tough to keep focused for that long.  I am only concerned about the math section.  Supposedly the test covers math at the 6-8^th grade level, but the practice tests I took had algebra and that is not a middle school math.  Bad news…calculators are not allowed!  I haven’t taken a math test without a calculator since middle school.  I need to score a 170 to go to American Samoa.  

I also started actively shopping for things needed to take with me.  This week’s mission was to find sandals what would actually protect my feet and be comfortable.  I prefer to call them “ugly shoes”  Kiersten went shoe shopping with me and after lot of complaining and many stores we finally found ugly shoes at LL Bean.  As I start pulling together clothes and shoes to pack I have to remember what Kiersten said.  “For the next year it is about comfort not style.”  Looking at the sandals now I can say that they are not totally ugly, but they are not pretty little white flip-flops either.  However, they are extremely comfortable.
