i am destined for second grade.

today, second grade was an adventure:

- meghan stuck an earring IN her ear. we had to tweeze it out.
5 min later she said her ear hurt. forgetting you can't use sarcasm
with kids, i said, "i wonder why?" she said, "well, miss ence, it's
because i just had an earring in there...duh..."
- jacob told me he was going to eat my children... in german...
- jethro finished his south america project. i have never seen
anyone so excited to present a power point as that boy. love.
- shaylee said i'm her "favorite person possibly in the whole utah".
- travis said people look at him funny because he's a
"clown class, or something," and because he can do accents.
- someone asked me for "hannatizer" to clean their hands.
- nayeli and i counted money forEVER. i said "3 quarters is how much?
75 cents" more than i planned today. that's just not something you wake
up and decide you're going to do.
- a little boy told me his mom put him in the trunk last night when the
cops came over because she was drunk. scary... :-/
- sloppy joes for lunch. is it frightening that i enjoy school lunch?
- jordan told me how nancy drew solved her newest mystery. i've been
getting updates all along, but she finally cracked the code!
- shaylee and jordan attacked me in the hall. i love kid hugs.
- tabitha and i spent a lovely (long) time reading about kim and vic,
competing for the longest jumper title. tabitha reminds me of hannah.
- we started "george's marvelous medicine", at request of karina. love it.
- when i told them i only had three days left in their class jayden cried.
- only 2 absent kids today, as opposed to the usual 7-9.
- in art they made "corunpocias", because it's almost thanksgiving.

i really, really like second grade.

furthermore, in college land:

- it snowed. so i wore my tennis shoes to college reading.
they make we walk faster, i'm convinced.
- learned that the walk home in the snow is loooong,
even with fast-walking tennis shoes on.
- almost stepped on lindsey's dinner coming out of reading.
- realized i need to work on my teacher handwriting.
- saw dr. hunsaker booking it to the car in a suit and briefcase.
i giggled a lot. maybe the way he was running? i don't know.
- the bus was extra awkward today. all this bad weather and
still no one has anything to talk about...
- it's 5:15 and almost pitch black outside. not ok.
- top ramen for dinner for the first time in about a year.
- saw three freshmen boys huddled under a TINY umbrella
walking to the fieldhouse. then saw them again on their way back.
i couldn't help but chuckle, they looked hilarious and made my day.

i honestly love college.
