So, yesterday I was up at 5:30 am so that Mike and I could make it over to U of M Ann Arbor by 8:30 for a presentation he was giving called, "Authority and Power We Bring to Tutoring." He was there with four other students representing WMU's writing center consultants, and the presentation lasted slightly over an hour and it was very good. I was so proud of him. :) I was probably the only person in the audience that wasn't a consultant myself, but the topic of authority and how to use a higher body of knowledge wasn't unfamiliar to me. At school I have a whole class dedicated to how pharmacists engage themselves in practice, and patient communication is a huge part of that process. Learning how to actively engage a patient/student/client in the communication exchange so that they truly benefit from it is a tough job of just about any profession.
Afterwards we realized that we were on the opposite side of the state from where we usually are, so we took advantage of that opportunity. We visited Mike's friends Tim and Dan who attend U of M, then we headed over to Redford where my grandma was celebrating her 90th birthday with my whole family (except Chris)! She was so suprised to see me--I haven't seen her since Easter. It was awesome to see my parents and sister again too, and I get to see them in only a week and a half for Thanksgiving! I can't wait.
The remainder of the evening was spent studying Biochem, as today will be. :( I'm almost done with this semester--I can't believe it.

And where was Chris? *grabs a bat*
Groping unsuspecting hot women no doubt. ;)
HA.
No, he was just working. Being grown-up and stuff I guess. PffFFt. That's what I have to say to that. :P
