Genetics

By -

This isn't really a big deal, but I'm kind of excited about it, so I'm sharing with the fam. The professor I work with at school contacted me about a teaching job at a charter school in Provo. It's just from now until Dec. but it pays $25 an hour! Well... I'll only be teaching 2 hours a week - but... that's $50 we didn't have before, I'm getting school credit for it for one of my secondary ed teaching courses, and it will be great experience to give me a head start on student teaching next semester. Only a few people in the world might get excited to teach 13-year olds about genetics, and you're related to one of them (even if only by marriage). (And I just learned how to put a picture with a blog - I'm learning so much!)

That's actually pretty cool! Teaching genetics and getting paid. Like you say 50 bucks is 50 bucks. One of these days you should teach me genetics. All I know about genetics is that I got my mom's nose.

COOL! Now, if they would make that full time....$$$$. Yes, I know that you don't have time for full time. I know about as much as Kim does about genetics, but if you tried to explain it to me it would likely be way over my head! I know just enough not to ask such things!

Good job, Katie! Will the kids call you Mrs. Groneman??? That's just weird. I know you explained your long term ambitions a long time ago, but I don't remember-- do you want to be a teacher?

Yeah I'm getting my secondary ed teaching certificate along with my master's in biology education. As you've probably experienced, Jr. High kids have a hard time with remembering Groneman - so they're calling me Mrs. G. Yep... it is a little weird.

Mrs groneman? That's my mom.....


Congrats! $50 is always nice to have. In a 2 days time you could make enough $ to pay for gas to drive to sunny southern California this winter and visit relatives : )

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
