Evening Mounties,
Interesting Week. Not really sure where to start. What a revoltingly terrible and super awesome seven days I've had. Bad news first. I had a lot of work this week, its kind of a front-loaded semester. I got my first chance to stand up and deliver a full lesson to my jam-packed audience of Rena, Emily and Dr. Smith. It was about twenty minutes on the second wave of immigration; lets give it up for the Italians. I'm not really prone to hyperbole but I must say that I was the greatest and most powerful orator ever. Give or take. Downside, I didn't get the binder done that went along with it. Smith is being real merciful about the deadline. Oh yeah, Mercy College, I get it.

Wicked bummer No. 2. I got straight Bs in class this week. I'm fallin apart. It ok, I'm working hard to shake off the blues. I took a learning style test this week. As it turns out, everything is close to normal except that I got the highest rating possible in intuitive learning. Basically, I look at the big picture, survey the scene, then react like a Burmese Tiger...or that I'm disorganized and spacey. Not the best of traits you know.... for a president.

Oh, yeah. I was elected President of the brand new chapter of the PSEA right here at beautiful Mount Aloysius College. What is the PSEA, you ask? The Pennsylvania State Education Association, think teacher union. Yeah, its a branch of the National Education Association, only has something like 3.2 million members nationwide. Nothing big. Long story longer, The MAC education program is starting to take off. We really need the 1 million bucks worth of liability insurance, but there are a ton of other resources available through my new best buddies. Also we have to give it up for the rest of the officers, VP Sheena Yingling, Secretary Dawn Cunningham, and Treasurer Emily Ross. And while were at it, congratulations to all the new education majors about it make the Mountie PSEA chapter a shining example of educational achievement... For America! DePiro 08' USA, USA, USA!

Come on, it's an election year! I had to do it once. Quickly, next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 15 at 3:30 if you can't make it let one of the officers know. We got you covered. Umm... Steelers-ouch, do your homework, eat lots of fruit, register to vote, be good. I find myself in need of better organizational skills, Jess suggested getting a nice accordion folder, I'm gonna get one, but I'm gonna call it a Trapper Keeper(sweet). In your face maturity.

Dress well if you have a meeting, you never know when you may be elected president,
DePiro Rules!
