Journal Entry - March 15th

Today I met with my mentee again. She was very excited because over Spring Break she will be heading up to Washington to visit with her aunt and uncle who live up there. She says she hasn't seen them in over a year and she's very much looking forwarding to getting a chance to spend some time with them and her cousins. She said she's planning on going to school with her cousin since their Spring Break is later then hers is.

She said her mom is also planning on perhaps moving them up there this Summer so she wants to start looking at colleges in Washington since she says there is a possibility that she might attend up there once she is finished with High School.

She wapped her hand on an overhead projector just before I came and it was looking pretty swollen and black and blue so I had to fill out her ITSAP for her, with her dictating to me what to write.

We talked some more about her issues with her classes, she said they're getting a little better. Her cousin moved back to Portland so she said that the elimination of that stress really helped a bit with her focusing. I let her out a few minutes early from our meeting so she could get to her Art Class to pick up her stuff she left and then get to her locker (which is on the second floor) and to her next class (which was PE, and outside) before the bell so it would eliminate any problems with her being late.

I told her to have a good Spring Break and that I'd see her in two weeks. I gave her the part of the snapshot (was that what it was called? Portrait?) assignment thing that was hers, she said she'd fill it out over Spring Break, I wasn't going to make her do it with her hand all throbbing and red, I'm not that mean.

(Matt, was there a responsive reading for the last week of term? I've been such a nut case I can't remember. If there is, and you read this before Wed, would it be possible to get it from you and post it Wed? Thanks...and sorry!)
