NSTA conference

Today was my first full day of the NSTA conference. It was amazing. I met a lot of people, and to a lot of free stuff! I don't think I'll ever need a grocery bag again. I heard Mark Plotkin speak, and he was awesome! I heard him speak in college and he was still outstanding. He talked about the shamens and all their knowledge, and how the we have to save the rainforest because everything on Earth is interdependent.
Then I hear Neil de Grasse Tyson and Bill Nye speak. They were the dynamic duo! Articulate, eloquent, and knowledgeable. I thought they were fantastic!
I looked around the exhibit hall, and will be returning to that very either tomorrow or Saturday. The bookstore was great too. I think I'll be shipping home tons of books.
I'm trying not to worry about softball too much, and keep my sanity while I'm gone. It's a struggle right now because the girls are not showing up. If I want to coach softball, I need to find another job. Varsity softball or varsity basketball is what I'm looking for. Hopefully I'll find something.
