Addicted!


I am addicted to the Wii. I love Guitar Hero and Mario Cart. The unfortunate problem with this addiction is that in a few weeks my friend, who has the Wi,i is moving away. Then I will have no way to feed my addiction. The other problem with this addiction is that in order to buy a Wii, I would have to pay 250 dollars and I am not very rich right now.

So, if any of you were planning on buying me any presents or giving me money anytime soon, it can all now be for the Wii Fund! :)

That is about all I have right now. I am glad to have the day off tomorrow. I will go to Memorial Day services at the Provo City Cemetery and then I will go watch Indian Jones with the Bills crew. Should be a good day. Oh yeah, and I will be playing the Wii in the evening! :)

P.S. Two days left of school!!!!!

School Assembly, Friends, and Fun!



Well, I have made it through my last full week of school. Next week, we technically only have two days of class. It usually is a joke too, because we don't want to work as teachers and the students definitely are done being students. As much as I complain about my job, I seriously love it. I love the kids I am able to work with! They are awesome. Just like Olga(see pic). She is hilarious. I have lots of silly quotes from when she was in PE with me a few years back. One real funny one is when I had just blew my whistle (which is a perk of being a PE teacher btw!) she said, "You're going to make the drums come out of my ears!" Another time we were playing dodgeball and after she was hit by a ball said: "I'm not even doing anything and he comes and dodges at me!" Silly, silly girl. She was in charge choreographing a dance for the assembly yesterday and had a blast doing it. She got me a bow for my hair(she used to always want me to wear a bow in my hair when she was in my class too. I think she thought that would make me look a little more girly, which is something she loves doing!) and made it look like it does in the pictures. I did not know what she was doing when she put it up so high and when I looked at my reflection kinda freaked, but I went with it! A few female students and a lot of the female staff danced to a song in the assembly. It was fun.

Last night, there was a dance at the school. It was fun to just be silly and dance. Before the dance, Janette, Alyssa and I went to dinner and played the Wii. We also had fun taking some pictures of us in our bright shirts that we wore for the assembly. I think the camera on this computer from school is a little too fun sometimes! Those two girls are awesome though. I am very lucky to work with such cool people and to also get friends from that experience.

Today is a lazy day. I haven't done anything except eat breakfast, watch "The Office," write in my journal and of course get that slide show together and post this blog. I really just have been so very lazy these days. I am a slacker but even feeling guilty about it doesn't make me want to change! I do plan on going for a walk in a minute. I will also head up to Salt Lake this afternoon to go to dinner and then watch the last Blaze game. Well, at least it is the last game for me. It has been fun being a season ticket holder.

Well, I better get some motivation. Later!

Senior Banquet!



I have a great friend named Alyssa. You may have read about her before. Anyway, she wanted to do my hair for the Senior Banquet tonight that we had at school. After I agreed to that, she also asked if she could do my make-up. So silly! I actually agreed which was shocking to Alyssa. But I think it turned out well. I made fun of Alyssa because my hair pretty much looked like her twin hair except the part was on the opposite side. I guess that is because she did it like she was looking into a mirror and that makes sense.

Senior Banquet was awesome. Basically, it is a night to celebrate the students that will be leaving us. We get free food and then read a tribute that we wrote about one of the Seniors. I love both of the students I highlighted tonight. It is always an adventure to get in front of a room full of colleagues, students, and their parents.

It is still hard to think that we are at the end of the year. It all seems surreal. It is like the end of the school year is months away when really it is days away. I do not know where the time went this year. I guess that is why it has not sunk in yet that Alyssa is really moving to Vegas. I feel as if I should be more sad but it just doesn't seem like she is really leaving. It also doesn't seem like I am leaving in a couple of weeks and that school is soon to be over. All very weird feelings.

I have been up past 12 three night is a row now. Naughty Alice is here again.

I guess I should put naughty Alice to bed now. Night!

Wii....need I say more?

I just got home from playing the Wii with my friend, Alyssa. It was completely fun. We played Mario Cart for a while, then went to dinner. After dinner we played Mario Cart and then Guitar Hero. Alyssa totally beats me every time. I like to play though. I think I am now addicted to the Wii. I think I may purchase one soon. So fun!

Not much else today. Tried to get caught up on grading. No luck. Got a bit done, I feel bad for my students because grades are almost done and they really don't know where they stand. Oh well! Maybe tomorrow! :)

Late, late, late. So much for sleeping more! :)

I Am Not Dying!


The trip to the doctor was bearable. Of course, before I even went, I was feeling better.

My doctor told me the hiccup of my heart was something that about 33% of the population has and that I shouldn't worry about it unless it hiccups a lot at once. He also said all of the things I was complaining about could be do to stress and lack of sleep. Hello...end of school, move coming up, and I never sleep enough!

The week is going slow. I guess that is because it is the end of the year. I really have nothing of note to tell you about life except the trip to the doctor. Thrilling isn't it?

Well, off to bed. I can now count the number of school days on one hand. Excellent!
