Our contest is getting down to the wire! Only one week until we declare the winner!

I made a big life change today: I redeclared majors. I'm now an AYA Social Studies education major (a.k.a. high school social studies teacher). Lots of reasons why, but I'm way less stressed, and much happier having made the change.

Yeah!!! Quality teachers are so needed.

Wow, very big change but I'm excited for you! History is my passion so Social Studies was/is my fav subject. And of course, being British, I often get called in to the school to discuss Brit history/culture etc.

So here's a happy dance for you

It's a great major to redeclare to. From the energy you give off it sounds like a good fit! We need more good teachers and its really nice to see people interested in the education field. Good luck and glad to hear you are less stressed - its no good for the body or the mind!

Congratulations!! I'm an Anthropologist and I think it is so important, especially in today's world, that our young people understand not only our culture but cultures across the globe. (stepping down off soapbox). Best of luck in you new major.

Darn you for posting this! Now I want to brave the crowds to eat there for lunch on my MK day.

 

[DisneyDreamerMN]

So bummed! Could not book the Keys to the Kingdom tour on 12/2 like I wanted. The CM said he even found it strange that nothing was coming up. And of course I did not have my trip spreadsheet with me so I could not think of another day to squeeze it in.

Did someone say reservations is closing tonight? 6PM EST?

I know!! You had me convinced to skip it. I thought lunch was only in the Rose Gallery, but this says all 3 are open for lunch. I want to see the Ballroom!!!! But then I looked at the menu and they must have taken off the Croque Monsieur. So now I dont know what I would order. But the cupcakes look delicious and huge!!!!!

The fact that I could go in all 3 ballrooms is a biggie to me too. That, and the cupcakes!

So glad to hear you say that! I am on my soapbox about that all too often! At home, at least one Sunday a month, I cook something from another country (yesterday I did a curry from Sri-Lanka) and I have a piece of interesting information to accompany that meal - we do repeat countries as there are lots of different foods and tons of info. I love doing it

That sounds really cool. We do something like that at college - once a week one of our international students cooks a treat from wherever they are from, and talk about their hometown. It's a fun way to get to know everyone.

Will you get your choice of which dining room you'll be able to eat in for lunch? I know they aren't taking advance requests for dinner.

Central Mississippi.

Aww crap. I had given up too. Drat you all. Lol

If it's like the other CS restaurants then you sit yourself, so you should be able to choose. I hope so, or that you can walk around at the very least so I can get pics of it all!

What a great idea - I wish I could make fish and chips like they taste at pubs across Great Britain - so good!!!
