Presentation Name: A Framework for Leading: Five Exemplary Leadership Practices Presenters: Jimmy Casas and Jeff Zoul Book recommendation: The Leadership Challenge Just a disclaimer here...this blog post is mostly a big long list of quotes from Jeff and Jimmy.

El ultimo fin de semana (I know I need an accent mark in there somewhere, but I don’t know how to make them on my bluetooth keyboard)
I am sad to report that this past weekend was my last one here in Mallorca (until next year, that is). The good news is that it was an excellent weekend, so I don't feel that it was wasted. My time here has been amazing; I am so glad I did this program. It's the … Continue reading El ultimo fin de semana (I know I need an accent mark in there somewhere, but I don’t know how to make them on my bluetooth keyboard)
The one in which I try a list
Many of my students use a list format when they blog. Because I haven't written in a week and I don't want this post to be 8 million pages long, I will now do the same. This format is also in honor of my observation report assignment, which you will read about below. Now that … Continue reading The one in which I try a list
Two down, one to go
This will be another semi-uneventful post, as the week itself was rather uneventful. Don't get me wrong; I'm still having an amazing time. But now it's sort of to the point where I feel like I live here, so every meal isn't the exciting outing that it once was. With that being said, I will … Continue reading Two down, one to go
Midweek musings
Hola! I know I'm missing the upside-down exclamation mark (what is that called?), but I don't know how to type one with my bluetooth keyboard. There are definitely a few quirks involved with not having a laptop here. Not enough quirks, however, to justify buying a new one (I don't feel comfortable carrying my school … Continue reading Midweek musings
Conquering fears
Apparently I really WAS tired last night as I was passing out while writing my blog. I ended up sleeping more than 11 hours! I feel a bit groggy still, but overall I'm refreshed. That's probably a good thing because I have a presentation and two papers due this week, so it'll be pretty busy … Continue reading Conquering fears
Beaches, eggs, all-nighters, and being tired
Well, I think I am giving up on the notion that I'll ever be able to completely catch my blog up; it has surely been quite the week! Let's see...I last posted a week ago, right after visiting Valldemossa and La Granja. Honestly it feels like a year ago! Sunday was a good day; it … Continue reading Beaches, eggs, all-nighters, and being tired
Beach, party, village, creepy dolls, and torture
I can't believe it's only been three days since my last post! So much has happened! I have no idea how I'll capture it all here, but I shall try. Apologies in advance if this one gets long. Thursday was another long day of school. We had class from 8:30-1:30 (it felt so short after … Continue reading Beach, party, village, creepy dolls, and torture
