This is my first journey into the wide world of blogging. I am writing this blog for my Educational Technology class in a MAT program, and I'm pretty excited about the adventure. First, a little about me....
My name is Shannon Wood. I'm originally from Colorado, but I've been living in Portland for the past five and a half years. I love the Pacific Northwest and all it has to offer! I am interested in teaching High School English and/or Middle School Math. Clearly, my interests are kind of all over the place...
Outside of school, I like to fill my time with reading, roller derby, and hanging out with my pup. She seems even more excited about this degree than I am--now she warms my feet on the couch all day instead of waiting for me to get home from work. And I keep giving her treats. This is the life: learning new things, overcoming my fears of blogging, a nice view from my window, and a free foot warmer. Now if I could just train her to bring me coffee...
The roller derby caught my eye. You must be pretty tough! Sounds like classroom management won't be an issue for you. Ha. Great looking pup, and full of energy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your introduction. I appreciate your writing style, as well as your love for the simpler things in life. I lived in Portland for a season, and I love it there. My life sounds much like yours, minus the brutality of the roller derby part. :-) Although I am still working while going to school, so I don't get to spend as much time with my own pup as I'd like to. And, yes, it would be rad if she knew how to get me my coffee! Maybe that will be our next trick to work on.
