Pranks and Tricks and It's Not Even April Fools Yet!

Hey guys! You last heard from me as I was heading to Senior Formal. Well, I basically found out it’s much more my style than prom in the U.S. Why? Because it’s prom but less skin. It’s the only time I’ve seen my guys dressed up in tuxes and bowties and girls in some of the most conservative yet stylish dresses. Anyways, I had a lot of fun because I didn’t feel like I had to babysit them this time and I could be my weird self since I knew them a lot better than at the Senior Dinner in October.

Beyond that, this last week hasn’t been really exciting. I’ve been doing a lot of work because I am trying to get it all done before Spring Break in Italy (WE LEAVE TODAY!!!) I’ve joined the intermediate class of jiu jitsu and gone a few times-it’s a lot better when you haven’t done jiu jitsu two nights in a row. It’s still very tiring but much better than being completely exhausted for a week.

This week at school was also Spirit Week-so basically you can dress like an idiot every day for a week because of the different themes. But then students screwed it up and didn’t go with the themes-they just dressed how they wanted. So then it was cancelled for students but teachers could still follow the themes as long as they followed the rules. We had: Sunglasses Sunday (stupid, I know), Mismatch Monday, Twin Tuesday, Wacky Hair/Hat Wednesday, and Jersey Thursday (it’s what it always is for teachers, unofficially).
Today I am literally just sitting in my classroom doing nothing and I believe I chose to do so correctly because I only have 3 students in my class right now. So, rightfully, it was good I didn’t make a project due or plan anything. Students will already hate me enough when they come back and start rehearsing for their play or start learning how to debate in a painful step-by-step process. It’s more painful for me than them, believe me. On a completely different note, I had a French teacher come ask me if she could use my classroom after school 3 days a week. I said it was okay and she went on to explain that she saw the Drama Club play and was so moved by it that she’s making her French class do a French play. I was kind of shocked honestly. Then she said I was helping-so she tricked me. I’m a little angry but, honestly, I can’t do too much anyways because I don’t understand anything that will be going on haha. Anyways, that’s all for me. I will not be able to communicate really for another week as it is spring break and I will be in Italy without service. Chao!
