So at age 20 I still can't make a paper airplane...no big deal, right?

Back to school...back to school! So of course, I have early class the day classes resume after Easter break. It was rough getting up at 6:30 let me tell you! But I was happy that I got up and dragged myself to class because we got our tests back today. And I got a 95!! Whoop dee DOO! Thats the best I've done on all biology test like all year! I was very pleased! And now I'm determined to do the same or better next time around!

I didn't have my biology lab this afternoon which made me very happy..so, I decided to go into work. Now, for some of you, that may sound crazy..voluntarily going into work..but I need to admit that I absolutely LOVE my job. I work for a program on campus called America Reads and we go to different elementary schools in the area and help kids learn to read. Currently, I'm working with kindergarteners and first graders--so much fun! The kindergarteners I work with make my day! Every day for them is a new adventure, and I love witnessing their little triumphs..its serves as a good reminder for me to always appreciate even the little things I accomplish. And the teacher is just so wonderful..I love hanging out with her! Today, they learned how to make paper airplanes. A skill, I'm embarrassed to say, I lack. Yes, I'm 20 years old and am still unlittle unsure how to construct an efficient airplane. So here's the conversation that occurred today:

Kindergartener: Can you help me make a paper airplane?
Me: Uhmm..no, actually I don't know how to make one either...
Kindergartener: But you're an adult!
Me: Yeah, I know...go ask him (points to a kindergarten airplane maker prodigy)

Life lesson the kindergartener can take from this? Adults don't know everything!

Other than that..just a normal day in my world! I'm NOT looking forward to tomorrow...I greatly dislike Wednesdays...boooo!

Welllll---I am so glad I wondered into this lovely abode--you may want to have some furniture brought in for people who would like to stay longer and one of those chocolate fountains wouldn't be a bad idea either!! (just a thought)

-I read about the airplane---silly silly silly girl----I LOVED it---I also love what you have done to the place---you do realize that I am into PINK right---don't know why---but I just am---Do we have electricity YET? Love you!

I'm glad ya found the place too! As far as the chocolate fountain goes..umm NO. Have I ever told you that I'm a diabetic? Although I will consider the furniture thing..

ooh the paper airplane incident..dang it I love those kindergarteners..I tell you what, they make my day! (most days! ha)

Umm yeah..about the electricity, still a NO. At this point, I'm thinkin' it'd just be easier for us to become Amish and completely get rid of that there modern convenience known as electricity...

Welllll---it is either that or we open up the whole side of that part of your house for a veranda/patio situation---therefore not needing the modern convenience any longer---I say--if you are handed lemons--well make a bowl of cherries---that is my saying of the day---I read that somewhere and thought it was very profound---VERY! HUH?
